How to Grow a Small Trading Account Into Something Much Bigger

Núria Foj Alvira

Episode 178 is one of those episodes where your host, Rob Booker, delves into a topic that you’ve probably been waiting to hear about: How to Grow a Small Trading Account Into Something Much Bigger. A must-listen episode — for sure. To help Rob with this discussion, we have special guest Bradley Fried, the CEO of Rob Booker Japan.

So, here’s the premise: Rob has been getting more and more questions lately from newer traders or those who recently took a break from their trading. And one question keeps coming up:

I’m starting with a smaller account, but I heard you need at least $50,000 to $100,000 in order to trade for a living… so, how am I supposed to do this, if I’m starting with a small account?

Brad and Rob offer some great discussion to address this question. Brad talks about making your trading more of a process — and how process is a mental posture against the problem of using the market and trying to get profit from it. Rob and Brad also talk about the role of fear in trading (and where it comes from). All of this and so much more is available for you in Episode 178.

And by the way, you can support the podcast by checking out an upcoming trading course on “How to Grow a Small Account Into Something Big,” offered by Bradley Fried and Rob Booker.
