Smarter Trading Podcast Episode 1

Patrick Walker joins us in Episode 1 of Smarter Trading to share his 30+ years of insights as a technical trader in the stock market.

About Patrick Walker

Patrick is the founder of Mission Winners. He has had the privilege of meeting and learning from legendary traders like: Martin Zweig, Bill O’ Neil, and Ed Seykota. He was an IBD Meetup co-leader and most importantly, he is a family man, happily married with 4 kids.

In Patrick’s own words, “My trading and approach to investing is “stolen.” It’s taken from the greats. I’ve tweaked and fine-tuned it over the years. Nevertheless, I owe much to all of them. I love to learn. Love to teach. Love to inspire. Love to help. That is why I’m here.”
