“You’re learning something about yourself everyday when you are trading”

Our guest is Narin, a commodities trader in his late 20s. Being a trader is a coveted path within the finance industry.

In our conversation, we break down the path to becoming a commodities trader, qualities that might signify that one would thrive in the field, the day-to-day experience, the trials and tribulations of job, and the keys to success.
