Trading Success Story From The Pit

In episode 222 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Market Wizard, full-time trader and ex-hedge fund manager Linda Raschke.

Linda, while being extremely good at scalping the markets, has a very interesting story of how she went from trading at a physical exchange to moving on her own and then starting a hedge fund.

She recently published her book titled "Trading Sardines: Lessons in the Markets from a Lifelong Trader" available on her website https://lindaraschke.net
