098: Peter To – How Successful Day Trading Can Fly in the Face of Conventional Wisdom—with a Former Poker Player and Ex-Prop Trader

Before day trading equities, Peter To played a lot of online poker and did fairly well for himself. He then dabbled in markets as an investor, but was soon attracted to OTC stocks after discovering a strange inefficiency… In this episode we spend quite a bit of time talking about Peter’s prop trading experience, both the good and the bad. Trading nihilism and doing everything you supposedly shouldn’t do, why Peter accepts he’s not a “cold blooded assassin” and does trade with the influence of emotion. Plus, we briefly touch on Bitcoin and exchange hacks towards the end too. Peter also writes about many of these subjects on his blog, which you can read here. -- Sponsored by TradeStation.com – A fully-licensed online broker and trading technology provider (who have won a ridiculous amount of awards!)
