yeah, he's been trading professionally for 10yrs, worked for the chicago board of trade, investment houses in new york, as well as one of the big investment banks. As you can probably guess he's american, but he's living in london because he's married to a british woman.
Some of the stuff that he's shown me just blows your mind. I don't know if you've ever met someone and had a conversation with them, then afterwards you're just left completely gobsmacked at what they just had to say (in a good way) Then you walk away with a whole new dimension in your mind to thinking within and about.
Another good thing is that, ontop of all the great stuff he's teaching me, are the contacts that i'm making with people in the industry and some of the amazing people who i've had the privilege to speak to through him. Everyday another door opens...
The learning process is so much faster when you've got someone who knows what they're on about sat next to you teaching you how to do stuff and explain why etc. Only problem is that he's in london and i'm in leeds, so at the moment i'm going down to london for 2-3 days of the week. I thinking about moving down, but my dilema is that i'm meant to be going back to uni in a few weeks to do my MBA. So i don't know if i should do both and get my MBA out the way, or put it on hold and focus 100% on trading etc...
It has all been a strange twist of fate that came completely out of the blue.
