Trading veteran, John "Rambo" Moulton (Live interview)

EP 163: An evening with veteran trader, John “Rambo” Moulton [LIVE]
This special episode of Chat With Traders was recorded in June 2018, in front of a live audience in Sydney. It’s a conversation I had with John Moulton, though he’s best known as Rambo.
John’s a serious trader, and for good reason, he’s considered to be somewhat of a legend trader in Australia…
In short, John left the Chicago trading pits in the 80’s, bound for the Sydney Futures Exchange. During the years that followed, he became a VERY large spread trader of Government Bonds and Bank Bills-he was responsible for a major share of the trading volume done each day.
Now forty years on, since placing his first trade, John is still an active market participant-trading from a coastal location in Queensland, Australia. So, press play and listen in to our conversation, as John reflects on the things which matter most for achieving success and longevity as a trader.
With great honor, I present to you John Moulton (aka Rambo!)

    I grew up with John in Chicago, watched him go from the midam to the CBOT gain room then over to the CME. He has always been a great guy and one of the best traders I have ever meet and I ran the largest S&P desk in the world on the CME floor. If you see Rambo tell him Danny Riley says hello.

    "I never dwell on what I've done. Ever!" - Rambo Moulton He said any zen Buddhist here is gonna make a FORTUNE in trading. People laughed at it but I was dead serious. He is absolutely correct. This is one of the best day trading teachings of all time. Because it deals with the deeper matters of the trader's psyche, which matters more than any other aspect of it. Rambo hinted that these habits and thinking patterns and "settings" of the heart apply to all life. First. Before you ever make it to the screen. I will apply that as much as I can!

    Couldn’t agree with you more. Focus on the here and now don’t dwell on the past and don’t dream into the future. What matters is what’s happening in front of you at that second. It’s insanely good advice but as a trader myself EXTREMELY difficult to put into motion 😂 🧘‍♂️

    Years ago I saw Bulls and Bears and after I'd be searching for information on this man once a month on average. What a nice surprise it was years later I saw he was scheduled for an event. I waited months for it to drop. Bulls and Bears was great because of him - the highs and lows of trading with a top trader. This guy's probably got so much more to tell... please have him back!!

His no bullshit approach of the market is absolute gold for any aspiring speculator. Thanks again.
