“Only a Trader Could Understand This” - Humanity w/ Anthony Crudele

Anthony Crudele, host of Futures Radio Show joins Cleo and me to share how he got into trading and podcasting, and the (mostly) positive impacts of them on his personal life. The conversation then shifts towards sustaining success and how it can be harder than attaining it initially. Anthony shares how the pressure to keep what you have and continue building on it can be overwhelming… External and internal pressures, such as expectations from others and the fear of losing what you've gained, make sustaining success difficult. Navigating this requires envisioning yourself as a successful trader, acting as if you are already successful, and seeking guidance from mentors or successful individuals. Anthony then talks about his growth as a trader and how he has learned to slow things down and be more patient. He shares how his relationship with trading has evolved and how he now sees it as a puzzle to solve rather than a constant chase for profits. They also discuss the challenges Anthony is currently facing and how he deals with losses and setbacks before concluding with a reflection on how trading has shaped him as a person.Sponsors and FriendsOur podcast is sponsored by Sue Maki at Fairway Independent Mortgage (MLS# 206048).
