Don't Break Even

Ryan Mallory
About this episode

After two and a half years of trading one swing trader finally makes back all his losses. But as traders should we be looking to simply break even? Is that even a good approach to successful trading in the stock market? In this podcast episode, Ryan will detail thoughts on this common thought process that inhibits a lot of traders on their path to success in the financial markets.
