<ul>
<li>Why this trader created his own backtesting software</li>
<li>Where he learned to trade and the timeframes he trades on</li>
<li>The website where he shares some of his trading strategies and track record</li>
<li>How to create drag-n-drop entries and exits WITHOUT coding</li>
<li>Manual <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/naked-markets-software-review/" data-wpil-monitor-id="54">backtesting demo and how his software</a> speeds up the process</li>
<li>Demonstration of creating and testing automated strategies</li>
<li>Free <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/download-historical-data-nakedmarkets/">historical data</a> from multiple brokers</li>
<li>How this software could easily replace your trading journal</li>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>There's a big difference between software that's created by someone who trades and someone who doesn't. This is one example.</strong></p>
<p>I met Denis at The Truth About FX conference in 2017. At the time, he was trading full-time and providing trading signals.</p>
<p>I talked to him a bit on the train ride back from central London.</p>
<p>In talking to him, I found out that he is Beta Trader. It's always cool to meet people behind trading sites. I didn't keep in touch with him after that.</p>
<p>Then a few months ago, I got a message from him via Walter's forum, asking me if I wanted to test his new software called NakedMarkets.</p>
<p>I'm always open to testing software from people I know, so I volunteered to be a tester. We are both students of Walter.</p>
<p><strong>As soon as I read through the documentation, I knew that he had something special.</strong></p>
<p>There are features that I haven't seen in <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/best-backtesting-software/">backtesting software</a> under $500, and some features that I haven't seen anywhere.</p>
<p>What I like most about his software is that it is very modular.</p>
<p>So you can create small components, like <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/nakedmarkets-entry-rules/" data-wpil-monitor-id="92">entry and exit rules</a>. Then you can simply drag and drop those rules on your chart to speed up <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/manually-backtest-multiple-timeframes/" data-wpil-monitor-id="199">manual backtesting</a>.</p>
<p><em>Or you can use those components to build fully <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/automate-backtesting/" data-wpil-monitor-id="75">automated or semi-automated trading strategies</a>.</em></p>
<p>One thing that I've been looking for is an easy way to automatically download trades from Oanda and analyze the performance of the account. I thought that a trading journal was the solution.</p>
<p>But I asked Denis if it was possible to do it in <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/nakedmarkets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NakedMarkets</a> and he implemented it in just a few days.</p>
<p>Amazing!</p>
<p><strong>So NakedMarkets can also be used to analyze live trading performance.</strong></p>
<p>Anyway, there's nothing like seeing the software in action. So watch the video find out more about Denis and how the software works.</p>

<p>Running a Forex brokerage is a really tough business.</p>
<p>Oh the stories I've heard&#8230;.</p>
<p>So why would anyone want to start one?</p>
<p>In this episode, I sat down with Arif Ahmad, co-founder of <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/b/scandicapitalmarkets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scandinavian Capital Markets</a> (SCM), a ECN broker in Stockholm Sweden. As it turns out, Arif had good reasons to get into the brokerage business.</p>
<p>As money managers, they were tired of getting pushed around by shady FX brokers. They figured that they only way to get good service was to provide it themselves.</p>
<p><em>That is how SCM was born. </em></p>
<p>They are based in Stockholm, Sweden and as it turns out, there are several advantages to having a brokerage there. With many countries reducing Forex trading leverage to 30:1 or lower, it is becoming harder to find brokers that will support more highly leveraged trading.</p>
<p>Obviously, leverage is a double-edged sword and <em>not</em> for the beginner. But I personally believe that traders should still have the option to be able to access higher leverage.</p>
<p><strong>Having a broker in Sweden gives traders the advantage of still being able to access 100:1 leverage, in a country with a stable banking environment and a reasonable amount of regulation.</strong></p>
<p>The alternative is usually to go to places that are havens for dodgy offshore brokers like Cyprus or Malta, which are like the Wild West, when it comes to regulation.</p>
<p>As I've mentioned before, the best broker for you will depend on where you live, how you trade and what you value in a broker. So always do your own due diligence when choosing a broker.</p>
<p>Even if you aren't looking for a new broker, this interview is an inspiring look at the entrepreneurial journey of two guys who saw an opportunity to create a better product and are working hard to make that happen.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Since they are based outside of the US, they cannot accept US clients&#8230;per US laws.</p>
<h2>In This Episode</h2>
<ul>
<li>How Arif got screwed over by <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/choose-best-forex-broker/">Forex brokers</a> as a money manager</li>
<li>Why Sweden is a great place to have a Forex brokerage</li>
<li>What led to the formation of <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/b/scandicapitalmarkets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scandinavian Capital Markets</a> (SCM)</li>
<li>The cultural changes that SCM wants to create in the Forex world</li>
<li>And more!</li>

<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-14324 alignright" src="https://www.tradingheroes.com/wp-content/uploads/joan-sotkin.png" alt="Joan Sotkin" width="150" height="150" />In this episode of the Trading Lifestyle Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with <strong>Joan Sotkin</strong>, a prosperity and mindset mentor.</p>
<p>As you get deeper into trading and get past making all of the beginner mistakes, you start to learn that trading is much more about your mindset than your trading system.</p>
<p>That's how you can usually tell a new trader from an experienced trader.</p>
<p>But tuning up your mindset is not an easy task.</p>
<p>Believe me, I know first hand.</p>
<p>So the more people you can get to help you with your wealth psychology, reconciling your childhood hangups and releasing negative emotions, the higher your probability of succeeding in trading.</p>
<p>Joan is one of those people who can help you do these things. In fact, she shares a couple of exercises in this interview that you can do right now to help you understand some of your core beliefs related to money.</p>
<p>Remember, the person who helps you with these things does not have to be a trader.</p>
<p>The principles of a wealthy <a href="https://www.tradingheroes.com/how-to-develop-traders-mindset/">mindset and releasing negative emotions are universal to success</a> in any business.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy listening to this interview and learn as much as I did.</p>
<h2>In This Episode with Joan Sotkin</h2>
<ul>
<li>Why Joan went bankrupt making $50,000 per month.</li>
<li>What she realized about her relationship to money that helped her get on the right path.</li>
<li>Why she gave away all her possessions and traveled the world (and why you don't have to).</li>
<li>How to figure out your money habits and change them.</li>
<li>Turn your current negative emotions into an audible sound and replace it with a positive emotion.</li>
<li>Your perception of life is only one side of the story.</li>

<p><div class="post-aff-notice">When you buy something through one of the links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.</div></p>
<p>Managing money is one way to become a professional trader. But the process can be confusing and sometimes a little scary.</p>
<p>After all, you don't want to do anything wrong.</p>
<p>Of course, this podcast is for education purposes only and is not legal or trading advice.</p>
<p><strong>However Justin Hertzberg works with quite a few CTAs (Commodity Trading Advisors) and was generous enough to share his experience with them, so you understand how the general process works and where to get started.</strong></p>
<p>He is the president and CEO of Forest Park FX, a CFTC registered/NFA member introducing brokerage firm. After working for several Forex and equities brokerage firms as both trader and in-house counsel, he launched Forex Park FX in early 2013.</p>
<p>In 2008, He left the traditional practice of law to pursue a career in trading. Forest Park FX works with forex traders and money managers to create customized brokerage and trading solutions to suit their individual needs and concerns.</p>
<p>The company's offerings include cash back rebates for retail clients, algorithm development, and brokerage support for money managers and CTAs, among others. He began his career as a commercial and securities litigator for a large law firm after obtaining his juris doctorate and finance MBA from the University of Miami.</p>
<p>Obviously, money manager requirements will vary by country and Justin is talking about US traders in this interview. But regardless of where you live, this interview can at least point you in the right direction and help you ask the right questions.</p>
<p>We also chat about what Forex Park does for their clients and how broker rebates work. Since they are an Introducing Broker and not a primary broker, they have a lot more flexibility.</p>
<p>They can also be more forthcoming about what is really good for clients, since they have a variety of brokers and services to choose from. On the other hand, brokers like FXCM only have one product (basically), so that is what they will try to sell you.</p>
<p>Forest Park does their best to find out what the trader needs and steers them to the right broker.</p>
<p>If you have ever wondered about rebates, Justin and I get into that too. Learn how they handle rebates and their stance on what clients should get.</p>
<p>This is a very informative interview, so I hope you get as much out of it as I did!</p>

<p><em>Greg McLeod would beg to differ.</em></p>
<p>In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Greg to find out how he scalps successfully, who his biggest mentors were and get into some of the &#8220;behind the scenes&#8221; stuff that has shaped him into the trader that he is today.</p>
<p>Speaking of mentors, Greg has been taught by some of the best traders and trading coaches&#8230;<strong>ever</strong>.</p>
<p>He grew up in South Central Los Angeles and later also taught public school in the area. If you are not familiar with that part of the United States, it is one of the roughest areas in the country and teaching public school there is no easy task.</p>
<p>&#8230;and that is probably a big understatement.</p>
<p>But Greg found ways to get students interested in learning, through trading&#8230;which is really cool.</p>
<p>We have a very down-to-earth talk about some of his greatest achievements, what drives him as a trader and some of the most painful moments on his trading journey.</p>
<p><em>I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed doing it!</em></p>
