Brilliant - more trading process video's please

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease allow some modicum of buffering... I'm suffering trying to watch this here in Asia : (

best interview ive see thus far. would love to hear more from dave

Sid V.....thanks for the positive comments

really good to listen to a real pro talk about how he does his business

Thanks for the feedback Ryan

Raoul F....so glad the position sizing was helpful. In terms of patience, it is something that is required/acquired....not optional IMO

Thanks Salvatore

Hi Hubert....while not the cleanest way, an ETF allows for short exposure to European bonds.

Very good and honest interview, It would be great to have Fred back... please!

question Grant should have asked: LONGER dated (put) options on European Gov bonds - where exactly do these trade ? Or only OTC with investment banks ?

Fantastic as usual Dave. The parts about position sizing and patience were particularly helpful.

Fantastic interview, being a trader myself, this definitely resonates with me. One of my favourite interviews among a sea of great interviews!

Suzanne - so glad to see my interview helped you with your process and confidence. Trading solo can be tough at times for sure... Take care, Dave

Excellent! I will now renew my subscription. Don't know why I hesitated! Cheers, Real Vision and David - I don't understand why, but every now and then I need reassurance that processes I have in place are worth keeping. I guess it is the lot of the solo trader. This interview renewed confidence in my methods. Learning to trust oneself is probably the hardest lesson - for me, at least.

Great one Grant and nice to see Dave in this different setting so we can get a better grasp on his methodology. This will help to get an even better feel for his chart work. Clever idea to use this additional format with him. I noted that you did this once as well with Greg Weldon.

Very good interview, real insight into todays markets, i have just watched this interview twice. Well worth a watch.

Excellent interview

Hi Miha L. Great question. The better way to look at it is what % will I risk of my total portfolio on any 1 trade? For me that will be 1-2%....

The problem we have with trading advice is we have been living in a bail out culture. That cannot last. What happens when your counter-party is NOT bailed out? Mathematically speaking charts can inform on risk profile but not the future price due to non-linear variables that have built in uncertainty (why weathermen and CNBC talking heads are usually wrong longer term). Check out Chaos Theory and Fractals. A very troubling strange attractor is revealing itself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractor#Strange_attractor

@Dave I am wondering what leverage do you usually use (if you use it) when opening mid to long term positions?

Dave trumped his last episode, which at the time I thought was his best. In this instance, Grant put it perfectly at the end. Getting to talk to Dave for half an hour vs seeing Dave on the charts, once again shows Dave's handle on the fundamentals of good trading which all retail traders should aspire to. The specific ideas he mentions are, to me, not the most important part of the interview. Ideas come and go, and if you depend on others for tips, you will fail. However, the first 30min explains the mindset and execution that makes a trader successful.

This helps as a retail investor. Long term ideas and methods employed to get ideas and patience to see them thru to a win is worth my time and effort. Glad I'm a subscriber! Thank you

Think the BIG takeaway from this interview are thoughts on gold and the philosophy of trading re taking losses EARLY ie a humble position when markets indicate you are currently wrong. Thanks for an enlightening interview Dave

Great interview Dave. Some really helpful insights for me. Great work Real Vision. Thanks

Hi Dave - I hope you smash the AUD NZD trade for purely selfish reasons - I am a Kiwi with my [gold] portfolio predominantly in Australia. I hold the same view as you. There is no way the NZ economy justifies the relative currency position we have vs. our neighbours. Cheers John.

Sorry for the delays in responding to the comments....travelling in the UK/Norway.....back home in a few weeks. Will keep checking comments periodically and keep you posted on a future project that should be a ton of fun and very useful.

Hi Jon.....I'm a cool dude? Right on....and I would like to think I have been blessed with the right make-up to be a trader.

Hi Buck - be it Fred Hickey or the other 3rd party resources I view....the fact is, ALL traders need info/analysis from people that think and see things differently or simply have skill sets that I/you may not possess.

Matt S....thanks for the suggestion....I/RVTV have some ideas in the works that should be right up that alley.....push the envelope a bit. Details to follow.....

Mark S....thanks for the nice comment.

It's interesting how David Floyd and Alex Gurevich came to the same conclusion on AUD/NZD. Both cited the multi-decade range on the pair.

I didn't think it was possible for me to like a Dave Floyd piece more than his chart walk-throughs. But this was somehow even better. Thanks to both Dave and Grant!

Fun interview. His Fred Hickey shout out was well made. Hickey is having an epic year as I've watched his picks closely. Grant might betime to follow up with Fred if you can find him...he might have called in rich.

As always Dave is always excelent.

Dave is one cool dude. He's built for trading.

Any thoughts on mechanisms/instruments for US-based retail investors to short various European govt bonds?

The point on building your conviction through a narrative that helps you stay on a trade is so important.
