Published on:
CapTrader
Video description:

Poker player Jan Heitmann may not be a professional trader, but there are many parallels between share trading and poker that enable traders to learn some trading tips from the poker expert for their own stock market trading. When trading shares, the position size, the trading journal, the risk involved in trading and many other points such as the psychology of the trader are comparable to poker players. Losses in a poker game are just as much a part of poker as trading losses in share trading.
