#102 Matt 'PAX' Kenah: A Futures Trader's Story - Part 2

 

This is the 2nd part of this deep and profound chat with former Chicago pit trader Matt PAX Kenah.

In this 2nd part Matt we discuss the painful realities of trading. Matt talks about how he had to build a trading career for a second time around after a disastrous loss of his capital, when his broker collapsed. 

We look at the steps Matt took, and the foundation blocks he built, to come back and rebuild his trading career. Matt talks about the support of his wife, his religious faith, his faith in God, and ultimately how his rebuilt his faith in himself.

Matt talks openly and frankly about the challenges of trading, and the dark places trading takes people to. We discusses the mind games he, and others, play in order to survive the mental pressures of trading, and how he takes care of himself.

We also explore the dangers of falling for the hype, and how this impacted Matt when he was 10% of the Nasdaq futures volume when ego took over, and the dangers this presents.
