What 40 Years of Trading Taught Me - Peter Robbins

In this episode of The Trader’s Journey, Anthony sits down with Peter Robbins, author of The Trader’s Journey: Navigating the Path to Trading Success, for a practical, honest conversation about what you need to know about success in trading. Peter shares top lessons from over 40 years of trading experience. He explains why most traders begin with almost no understanding of risk, why the first question should be “Why are you trading—and should you be trading?”, and how a gap in mentorship quietly derails even smart, hardworking people. They dig into the foundations that matter: realistic expectations, aligning your trading style with your real life, adapting to changing market regimes, and the uncomfortable truth that psychology—execution under pressure—is often the real edge. If you’re tired of vague motivation and want a clear framework for building a sustainable trading career, this episode will reset your standards—and give you a roadmap you can revisit as you grow.
