  • EP 162: The formula for how to become a 7-figure day trader w/ Mike Bellafiore
    Returning for this episode, is Mike Bellafiore-the co-founder of New York City prop trading firm, SMB Capital. Mike is also the author of One Good Trade and The Playbook, and he was the featured guest on Episode 022: • Become a better trader...
    As the title suggests, the purpose of our conversation is to breakdown how you can formulate a plan for becoming a 7-figure day trader. Mike is well-qualified to speak on this subject, because he’s mentored and lead traders within his own firm to reach this level of trading success.
    There are no quick fixes packed into this episode, but there is real value-if you listen carefully, take notes and intentionally act on some of Mike’s suggestions, I know it will make a difference over time.

      Say it's a really really trashy company like bottom of the barrel.
      So half of your synthetic shares are floating around maybe in Brazil and you couldn't cover together if you had to??

    A really nice video Aaron, been a successful day trader is not an easy task. When you are a day trader so many things can go wrong on your trades if you re not well discipline and lack a good trade approach and strategy, as a beginner with few months of experience I was opportune to work with pro day traders which has been quite an amazing experience and this has helped me grow so much in the market.

    So glad I found this channel! I fell in love with trading after a talk with a friend/mentor. I understand a lot but have so much more to learn. I have been paper trading since October '17. I have had some luck, but I am making sure to have the stages completed with solid consistency before going live even though I have a trading account ($150) set up. I cannot afford to blow it up quick. I'm still figuring out what type of trader I am. My goal is to make enough money during a month to leave my dishwashing job, help my, family, and friends within the next year or so. :)

    Originally, I avoid the episode with Mike because I had watched his channel and he is just mean and annoying, plus they seemed to push their agenda, plus their strategies gave just enough information to be dangerous and ineffective. BUT this episode showed a better side on Mike. I missed the part about becoming a 7 figure day trader (I was working while listening) but he's much more humble and had a few good lines. His best comments were at the end where he praised Aaron for his show. That is spot on. This is the best show out there. Others have tried to emulate it but Aaron is a perfect interviewer, more professional then people I see on news channels on TV. Great program.

      Even if you can build them yourself.
      Its much better working for an organisation that wants to see you improve, than doing it solo with 0 support.
