- EP 163: An evening with veteran trader, John “Rambo” Moulton [LIVE]
This special episode of Chat With Traders was recorded in June 2018, in front of a live audience in Sydney. It’s a conversation I had with John Moulton, though he’s best known as Rambo.
John’s a serious trader, and for good reason, he’s considered to be somewhat of a legend trader in Australia…
In short, John left the Chicago trading pits in the 80’s, bound for the Sydney Futures Exchange. During the years that followed, he became a VERY large spread trader of Government Bonds and Bank Bills-he was responsible for a major share of the trading volume done each day.
Now forty years on, since placing his first trade, John is still an active market participant-trading from a coastal location in Queensland, Australia. So, press play and listen in to our conversation, as John reflects on the things which matter most for achieving success and longevity as a trader.
With great honor, I present to you John Moulton (aka Rambo!)
I grew up with John in Chicago, watched him go from the midam to the CBOT gain room then over to the CME. He has always been a great guy and one of the best traders I have ever meet and I ran the largest S&P desk in the world on the CME floor. If you see Rambo tell him Danny Riley says hello.
He is a tosser
@@annajones9701 tosser?
@@DaniilDimitrov , It's a UK slang word for being a jerk.
@@duanejackson6718 thanks
Hi Danny, why no new video on your channel? Last videos are like 10 years old.
John is not only a trader, but a wise man. Wish there were more interviews of him ❤
"Know who you are; know your game,; play within yourself"...this is Trading.
"I never dwell on what I've done. Ever!" - Rambo Moulton
He said any zen Buddhist here is gonna make a FORTUNE in trading. People laughed at it but I was dead serious. He is absolutely correct.
This is one of the best day trading teachings of all time. Because it deals with the deeper matters of the trader's psyche, which matters more than any other aspect of it. Rambo hinted that these habits and thinking patterns and "settings" of the heart apply to all life. First. Before you ever make it to the screen. I will apply that as much as I can!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Focus on the here and now don’t dwell on the past and don’t dream into the future. What matters is what’s happening in front of you at that second. It’s insanely good advice but as a trader myself EXTREMELY difficult to put into motion 😂 🧘♂️
I remember listening to this in 2019 when I first entered markets. 4 years later I actually gather the value in his message
Yeah, it's crazy listening back to interviews you knew were valuable but you didn't quite have background knowledge to grasp, happens to me a lot... and it also gets easier to spot guys that might not know that much but talk a big game
This is now one of my favorite chats:) Love it! Great interview Aaron!
Intriguing .. going to watch it again .. hope they can do another one .. great work Aaron.
Years ago I saw Bulls and Bears and after I'd be searching for information on this man once a month on average. What a nice surprise it was years later I saw he was scheduled for an event. I waited months for it to drop. Bulls and Bears was great because of him - the highs and lows of trading with a top trader. This guy's probably got so much more to tell... please have him back!!
An excellent interview. Thank you John, and especially you Aaron, for brining these to us!
So amazing to see video on this channel. I listened to the audio of this several times. It's so great to see the faces behind the voices. Well done. Thanks for uploading.
Aaron you handle these interviews quite well. Much appreciate the content you have been bringing over the years.
Awesome. That's the best interview I've seen so far from this channel.
Every interview I watch I take away something new. Thanks!
what was the takeaway for you?
so blessed to have him here on our shores. Thx Aaron for digging him out and cheers Rambo for sharing. #thumbsup
John is an amazing character - great to listen to, very entertaining and knowledgeable.
Thank you once again Mr. Fifield for a wonderful look into the wisdom of a trader.
Wow what a great guy and a legend! Took so much out of this.
Definitely one of my favorite interviews. This man words are ones every trader should ponder on regardless of where there at in there trading journey , will definitely be listing to again .Thanks for the great content .
GOODLUCK and Godspeed!
Great interview. The doc, Bulls and Bears, still one of my fav videos to watch. Very inspiring. Great job Aaron. Love your podcast. Keep up the inspirational work.
Great interview, great counsel and content. I like the "start organically" and don't force things too fast but focus on the long-run/term.
Great live interview. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
That was a fantastic interview. Great insights into the psychology of trading. Rambo has a very unique way not only looking at trading but life in general.
Bulls and Bears is a excellent documentary saw it many years ago. Great getting John's insight (in this interview). Please get him back on!
Dang! This was so good! I've watched it twice. I saw him in the Bulls and Bears film (or whatever it was called) a couple of years ago. And so as soon as I saw this interview go up, I got a 12 pack of brew and partied!!! Long live Chat With Traders!
One of the best interviews with one of the best traders I've seen. A lot to learn from him. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank You Arron For Publishing this Live Interview... This is priceless, the information about the bond and price curve relation is Fabulous !!!!! Thanks "Rambo".
such an experience trader, heard of him from trading psychology & came to this episode, so much gem! I enjoyed this episode so much!
Thanks for the words of wisdom Rambo, what a fresh, honest and no bull session of massive value. Cheers Aaron for making it happen 🤙. An awesome start to my almost blank canvas!
Aaron. You did it again. This was a great interview. John actually telling us what thoughts he had and why he was trading the way he was trading, is awesome. Do not fight the machines...become one with it. Risk...go for it.
I've learned a lot from John. Thanks for uploading this.
Great interview! Thanks John for your insights.
Cant get enough of this guy, John needs his own TV show or at least another documentary like his did in the 90's.
One of the best. Thanks Aaron, I wish I had been there.
You can not love John, he's full of gems, I've taken so much from this.
Great one Aaron. I love this channel.
Pure gold! It's like Market Wizards but filmed.
Thanks Aaron. Best episode ever.
Good stuff here Arron! Dig the into to this one! Great speech too would have been killer to have been there in person!!
Gr8 Work. Thx a Ton for the Post.
Amazing, best one yet Aaron!
Best interview I've seen so far.
Aaron, i just want to take the time to say thank you for this interview man! I remember John from the Bulls and Bear documentary and i would get completely baffled at the sheer size this guy would throw around those spread orders (He'd have days where he would trade like 13% of the entire market). His no bullshit approach of the market is absolute gold for any aspiring speculator. Thanks again.
Loved this guy! An amazing personality... definitely something to learn as a trader
This was awesome. This guy is so smart. Thanks a lot for the interview
Thank you Aaron and Rambo for an outstanding informative episode with Great topics (assuming risk vs Taking risk, learn how to lose, focus on the current trade not on the money)
Great interview, really enjoyed it. Keep it up!!
Legend! I love his no-bullshit honesty and detailed war stories. This is a great example of someone who breaks many trading "rules" but still became a success juggernaut, evidence that you have to experiment with everything and find what works for *you*. Phenomenal work as usual Aaron, really cool insights from this session. I'm glad I've studied Zen Buddhism longer than I've studied trading haha
i came here from your podcast, thanks man!
This was soooo fucking epic!!! Can't thank you enough Aaron. Cheers
wowww.... Rambo makes me want to cry tears of joy. His words are so true and exactly what I needed to hear right now!
Great work Aaron, appreciate this
The most realistic trader out there and mad respect to him as hes spitting facts and experience. Rewatch it time to time to get more inspiration.
Best so far. Real authentic jewels in this one.
losing money is the most important part of trading, finally someone adressing that properly, i keep praising this part almost every day in the chat .. it's easy to figure out based on peoples reactions if they will make it or not in this game.
great stuff
How did I know I'd find you in this comment section Swing?!
This ladies and gentlemen is the "holy grail of trading". Never come across anyone who have hit it right at the core of what it's all about and what you need to embrace and become in order to truly make it in this arena!
Best interview ever.
Great interview. Very valuable information thanks
What a great interview! So many secrets to good trading revealed!
So refreshing. Today these interviews if any are saturated in cars and money. I like to know the history of this and the players in it so I sincerely enjoyed this. Cheers
Just Amazing. Great to hear more about the subconscious mind in trading, its much overlooked.
This Interview is GOLD.
Great interview Aaron! Cheers from Brazil
How can anybody give it a thumbs down gonna watch it again
Perhaps it was a bit too much of a mirror to their trading?
such a good fucking interview omg, this guys rawness is amazing
iv'e listened to the majority of CWT podcasts, this is i would have to say is the best
Thank you!! Amazing video!!
Wow tons of value. "Rambo" is an Absolute Alpha. Interesting perspective on life in general. Excellent episode. Thanks again Aaron! I wish I was there! My cousins live in Brisbane as well! I'm here in the States though.
Thanks bud. Very insightful.
I've spent time with Rambo watching him trade. He is the real deal, a great, fun, generous and humble guy. Very fortunate to count him as a friend
THIS IS SO GOOD
"I never thought I was the best...to me it was always the challenge of being the best" - amazing subtlety.
almost Lombardi-esque ...
John is big in every way. Big Personality, big voice, bets big, big man.
Another great interview!
So many psychological trading treasures! Priceless experience being shared.
Great show! One of the few financial podcasts that doesn’t just slather the listener with shit.
Great interview, Thanks
Great stuff love it thanks Aaron
Best trading channel theres is. Big up Aaron
Very straight forward and humble
I worked with John on the floor of SFE in the 90's
Great times buddy.
Hands down the best trader out there. Rambo is my hero!
Freakin legend, thank you for getting John to do this
Here's a guy I would really like to share a beer with and just talk to. Outstanding content, enlightening and humble.
Best stuff ever. Thanks.
Job well done Aaron, cheers!
awesome .. thanks for sharing
Ah Rambo, greetings. Haven't seen you in 20 years.
Good to see you still firing on all fours
Never expected things to get so 'spiritual' here but I love it
This guy got me into FUTURES after I watched him in a Doc.
More of these please Aaron :)
came here to watch bulls and bears for the 10th time...found this interview...it is amazing that no one cared to interview this guy since the television series...what a missed opportunity. John's aged well in 20 years! good to know he still trades and survived the 08 financial crises.
Phenomenal interview
Wow
Awesome stuff as always 👍
I took a lot from this and tucked it away. Well done! I have to say though, I am a strict stop loss guy. I never do business without it. The market may ring my bell one day but there's no way that I am leaving the door open to the bell room.
Awesome interview
watched this a dozen times and my always laugh at the last 15 seconds when he says i love my fellow human beings hahah
Rambo seems like a no nonsense guy ....that means he is a teddy bear covering his soft heart . Go Rambo we love ya man 🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Bingo! The more detached from the money, the better trader you’ll be.
"Its just a fucking trade" THIS one sentence with the conviction it is said, holds so much value. I am learning this recently, and using it to move on from bad trades quickly......This is just one trade, out of THOUSANDS of trades. Just as the old masters of the 1800's created multiple studies of one painting before finally creating the masterpieces that made them, I'm learning to look at small trades and losses as "studies", in preparation of the "masterpiece". Thanks Arron for all the work you put into CWT!
it was great when he flipped the switch from friendly guy to bond specialist .. reminds me of the video when he leaves the dinner table to trade !
Thank you Aaron!
I remember him from a documentary that was made in the 90's , don't remember the name(Doc) but if you want to check it out, it is very interesting.
Bill Franz the bull and the bears great
