About this episode
Get Ready When The Market Moves – Show Notes

In episode 112 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview William Fong, a multiple-market trader with an interesting institutional background. Based in Victoria (Australia), William came on the podcast to share the lessons he learned in the past years, including how to get ready when the market moves.

Watch the video interview!

William places a lot of emphasis on the importance of mastering fundamentals. In his opinion, it's what's provide traders a solid edge. 

Nevertheless, he acknowledges that traders have different styles and that what's most important is to find something you're good at.

More About William Fong William Fong has over 10 years of macroeconomic, Asian/Australian credit experiences. He began at the ground floors of big companies and made his way up through years of experience.

Today he shares what it looks like to trade for big institutions and work for them.

William has accumulated knowledge on the following products: book runner and structurer on Fixed Income, FX, Interest Rate & Credit Trading.

I’d love if you can take a few seconds to leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Let me know honestly what you think of the podcast because the only way I can improve is through your reviews.
