    512: What It Takes To Become a Millionaire Trader - Tim Sykes
    Jun 16 2025
    What It Takes To Become a Millionaire Trader In episode 512 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, we will be listening to the recording of an interview with legendary trader, Tim Sykes, to discuss what it takes to become a millionaire trader. Tim emphasizes the dangers of trading with leverage—especially short selling—and warns against prioritizing profit milestones over trading discipline. He encourages traders to build their “knowledge account” before risking capital, stressing that trading is more about structure and patience than aggressive action. Drawing parallels between trading and golf, he explains that forcing outcomes often backfires, as the market doesn't reward desire—it rewards preparation and consistency. His goal is to help students use trading as a tool to build a life, not become trapped by it. The video is also available for you to watch on YouTube. >> Watch the video recording!

    Learn Scalping Full-Time From The Pros (1-Hour Masterclass)

    In episode 511 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, we will be listening to a 1-hour masterclass compilation from past interviews. You'll learn insights from seasoned full-time traders who make a living using scalping strategies. Covering everything from risk management and psychology to business planning and real-world trade execution, this masterclass offers a practical view of what it takes to succeed in high-frequency trading. Rather than focusing on hype or holy grails, the speakers emphasize discipline, preparation, probability-based decision-making, and journaling.
