Today on The Stock Trading Reality Podcast I am excited to introduce my new show. I give a quick history of my idea behind the show and how it has now come to fruition. I also introduce my partner in this journey, who will be co-hosting, "Chezz". This is someone I have had a close eye on ever since he joined my private trading group almost a year ago. Michael Chesna ("Chezz") took the traditional route in his younger years of life. High school, college, and then eventually dead-end job. In 2014, he decided to take things into his own hands and determined the financial markets were a great way to do this. His journey began trading with bitcoin and penny stocks. After learning many valuable lessons along the way, he has now settled on weekly options trading. Stubbornness and persistence have kept him alive during the tough times most new traders face. In This Episode... ClayTrader discusses his background and introduction to the stock market. We discuss the purpose of the podcast. Chezz shares his pre-trading life from working in middle-management to moving across the country. How trading requires creativity to find what works for you. Chezz talks about drinking the Bitcoin and penny stock kool-aid. Making false assumtions about trading being too difficult. How a huge loss pushed Chezz towards education. Chezz talks about his ah-ha moment regarding charting and embracing the herd mentality. The importance of support systems and how they are vital when begining your traing journey.
