Alan Edward, better known as The Divergent Trader, appears on the podcast for the second time. In this podcast he delves into the importance of becoming aware of your thinking loops in trading. If you’ve ever found yourself watching every tick on a trade, or examining the chart over and over in the hope that the price might move in your chosen direction, then this podcast will talk to you. He also discusses the importance of having a life outside of trading so that it doesn’t become all-consuming.

I last chatted to Mike Ledwidge in January 2022. Since then a lot has changed in the markets and in his personal life. He has recently become a proud father to a baby boy, and he’s moved to London in the past year, from Cape Town. The market has also changed a lot in that time. When we last spoke in January 2022, the S&P500 was at its all-time high. It’s been in a general bear trend since then. In this interview, I catch up with Mike and discuss how the past year has treated him, and how he has adapted his trading routine to fit in with family life and different macro-economic conditions.

He began his career as a personal trainer at the gym in the JP Morgan building in London, helping traders and investment specialists with their exercise routines.
