EP23 // How Jarratt Davis Went From Window Washer to Hedge Fund Trader with Fundamental Analysis

I love hearing stories like this one because it shows you how accessible Forex trading is to the average person and how amazing opportunities can come your way, if you are willing to put in the time, effort and perseverance required to become successful. Learn how Jarratt Davis went from having a window washing business to being a professional money manager.

Home / Podcast / EP23 // How Jarratt Davis Went From Window Washer to Hedge Fund Trader with Fundamental Analysis

Jarratt Davis interviewJarratt Davis started out just like you.

But he went on become the #2 ranked Forex trader in the world…according to Barclays. 

He learned currency trading on his own and he had no previous experience or education. Like my last guest, his previous profession had absolutely nothing to do with trading.

But his journey wasn't always easy…

He actually “quit” trading several times because he could not find anything that worked. His trading went through the classic vicious cycle of:

  • Learn a system
  • Backtest a system
  • Fail at trading it in the live market
  • Look for a new system

Sound familiar? 

Finally, a chance meeting with a successful stock trader put him on the right track and he never thought about quitting again. In fact, he has several stories of how he met the right person, at exactly the right time.

So it really does benefit you to just start talking to people you meet in your everyday life, because you never know how it might help your trading career.

One piece of information that I found particularly useful is Jarratt's thought process when he is looking to take a trade. It might be very different from what you do, so I would recommend reviewing what he does before he takes a trade.

I hope you find this episode as educational and enjoyable as I did. After the interview, I got to talking to Jarratt for a bit and he seems like a really down-to-earth and mellow guy.

He has traded from all over the world and I hope you are inspired by his story. 

So if technical analysis seems to be letting you down, you might want to take a closer look at what Jarratt is doing.

Enjoy!
