As traders, we can sometimes get tempted into making things more complicated than they need to be.

Entries…

Exits…

Position sizing…

Trade management…

There are a number of aspects to trading where we get to decide how simple or complicated we really want to make it.

Our guest for this episode, Larry Tentarelli, has developed a simple, no nonsense approach to trading and in our chat he shares the trading insights and approaches he’s developed over the past 20 years.

In this episode Larry shares:

  • Simple techniques to trading and trade management that turned Larrys trading consistently profitable
  • How traders can overcome the challenges of finding a trading style that suits their personality
  • The “four legs of a table” approach to trading and why it’s so important for trading success
  • Why there is no perfect entry signal and the key aspect of trading you should focus on instead
  • PLUS a bunch of listener questions submitted by you!
The closest thing to the perfect system is one that you can trade and be comfortable with.

The entry signal really wasn’t where the money came from, it came more from my approach to the market.

    Hi Andrew – episode 76 with Larry Tentarelli was fantastic. Larry’s systematic trading method doesn’t rely on complex signals or indicators and is readily accessible by most aspiring traders or even investors. As Larry points out in this podcast the hardest part most people have on the path to success is between their ears – emotional self discipline and self accountability. This episode was time well spent – thank you!
