322. I Couldn’t Afford Diapers… So, I Became a Trader W/ Humble Trader
In this episode, host Andrew shares his personal journey from financial desperation—being unable to afford diapers for his newborn—to becoming a successful trader after discovering the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology. He interviews Humble Trader, a seasoned ICT practitioner, who explains how he broke into trading through a dubious pyramid scheme, endured repeated losses, and eventually found consistency by mastering concepts like fair value gaps, order blocks, and market structure. Humble Trader emphasizes the importance of understanding market mechanics, persistent risk management, and using retail trader behavior (e.g., watching live streams) to trade against the crowd. The conversation also highlights the value of deep analysis over quick profit-chasing and offers practical insights for aspiring traders.
