125: Naked Forex & Swing Trading Like A Pro - Walter Peters

Walter Peters on Naked Forex & Swing Trading – Show Notes In episode 125 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview a guest I had been waiting a long time to talk to... Walter Peters is a full-time Forex trader, author, podcast host, and more. He has inspired & helped me through his book Naked Forex: High Probability Techniques For Trading Without Indicators, which I read some time ago. What's great about Walter is that he isn't the type of trader who wants to trade all day. He developed a high time-frame style of trading that gives him more freedom. He can then go surf and enjoy life! Over the past few years, Walter's focus has shifted from trading systems (liked the ones shared in his book) to trading psychology & money management, which we touch on during the interview.
