b'I\\u2019ve received many requests for this weeks guest, in recent months. Maybe it\\u2019s because he\\u2019s a straight shooter who doesn\\u2019t mix his words, or maybe it\\u2019s because he\\u2019s bounced back from harsh failures, to become an exceptional trader.\\nWhatever the reason may be, I know for certain, you\\u2019re going to appreciate the raw honesty and insight of this weeks guest \\u2013 Dan Shapiro.\\nComing up from humble beginnings, Dan called on the neighborhood loan shark to fund his first trading account, which got him through the door to one of the largest prop firms at the time. This is where he rubbed shoulders with many phenomenal traders, who helped shape him into the trader he is today.\\nThis interview is ultimately focused on the mental and psychological aspects of trading. We discuss some of the darkest moments from Dan\\u2019s trading career, how to handle losses and grind through slumps, trading the setup and not your PnL, and why you should care more about trading right, rather than being right.\\nDan was great to talk to, and I trust you\\u2019ll enjoy this episode. Actually, it may even be worthwhile for you to play this through twice, just to ensure you don\\u2019t miss anything.\\nI\\u2019m Aaron Fifield, your host of Chat With Traders, and here is this weeks guest from New York City, Dan Shapiro.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
