This episode's guest is a bit different compared to everyone else we've interviewed who trades with a day job. Nate Wilson (same name in the chat room) is successfully trading with a job, but that's not the unique part. He actually enjoys his job and has no ambitions of quitting it to trade full time. Nate trades for the enjoyment of it and to create supplemental income for his personal finances. I really enjoy this interview as it is a great example of how trading does not need to have the end goal of "I want to trade full time." When done right, trading stocks and options can simply be a solid source of additional income to your monthly budget, or as we call it "fun money." Notes: Nate\u2019s introduction the market was a \u2018friends and family\u2019 plan for the Under Armour initial public offering. His background involves looking at companies financials and doing fundamental research. He applied this to his trading for 9 years before learning technical analysis. Nate then started trading penny stocks during the marijuana boom and found continued success. He hesitated taking profits but eventually realized he was riding a bubble and sold before the bottom fell out. After getting educated, he started trading too large to start and while he didnt suffer any large losses, his account wasn\u2019t growing. Once he realized risk management was the issue, he corrected it and has been growing his account ever since. Nate honed his trading strategy to fit his full time work schedule and is now focused on building consistency while managing risk.
