Like many who get into trading, Jason had no formal education in the field. Actually, prior to trading full time he was waiting tables in a restaurant and bartending. This is where he began swing trading and to this day, Jason is still primarily a swing trader. Riding trends anywhere from a few days or a few weeks, sometimes it's even a matter of months when his aim is to take out a large chunk of the move. Ultimately the market environment dictates his holding time. This is somewhat similar to the way I like to trade, so I found many of the answers Jason gives out during this interview to be particularly interesting, and I'm sure you will too. Regardless of the time-frame you trade. Also, in the later part of this interview, Jason shares a story about the wildly successful independent traders he's met, and the one standout trait they all have in common. Which is again, really insightful.
