You rarely hear about these stories, especially if someone is just trading their own account.<\/p>\n<p>A perfect example is today's guest, Lynette Allen.\u00a0I originally heard about her through Adam Jowett and soon after, I checked out her blog and started following her on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The thing makes a blog really interesting to me, is if the author can put a unique spin on a topic. The more unique the spin, the better. Her blog falls into this category.<\/p>\n<p>First off, she had more links to other types of blogs than links to trading blogs. I found that refreshing. In particular, she has a nice list of Minimalist blogs that she follows.<\/p>\n<p>If you don't know what Minimalism is, it is basically a way of living where you evaluate everything in your life and only keep what is essential and what you absolutely love.<\/p>\n<p>She attributes part of her success in trading to this concept. To find out more, check out her recommended sites in the show notes below.<\/p>\n<p>The next things that stood out were that she is young (no, I'm not daft enough to ask her age) and that she trades off of line charts. Interesting&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So I was really happy when she agreed to sit down with me and chat for a bit.\u00a0Just like the other Traders that I have talked to, Lynette truly loves trading and her story is very inspiring. She is out to prove that you don't need to be old or have a formal education to trade for a living.<\/p>\n<p>I think you will really enjoy this episode!<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: We did have a slight connection problem, <\/em><em>but stick with it because there is a ton of excellent information.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>In This Episode:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>How Timothy Sykes inspired Lynette to get started in trading<\/li>\n<li>The top 2 traits that she feels people need to have to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/successful-traders-common\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"260\">successful trader<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Why she switched from trading stocks to Forex, even when she was trading stocks well<\/li>\n<li>The time frames she trades on<\/li>\n<li>What she does to make time to test and trade<\/li>\n<li>Back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/backtesting-vs-forward-testing\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"174\">testing or forward<\/a> testing?<\/li>\n<li>She makes a living only trading one currency pair, find out which one it is<\/li>\n<li>The sign that she got to give full-time trading a chance<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Click Play To Listen To The Interview<\/h2>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XRx9RgxPcGs?rel=0&showinfo=0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions for Lynette, feel free to ask them in the comments section or check the link to her blog in the resources section below.<\/p>\n<h2>Resources Mentioned:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Recommended Minimalist blogs:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unclutterer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Uncluterer.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.becomingminimalist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BecomingMinimalist.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bemorewithless.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BeMoreWithLess.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenhabits.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ZenHabits.net<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mnmlist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mnmlist.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mnmlist.com\/minimalist-faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FAQ about Minimalism <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mojohd.com\/mojoseries\/wallstreetwarriors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wall Street Warriors <\/a><\/li>\n<li>Follow her on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/Trader_LA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Other Ways To Get The Trading Lifestyle Podcast:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to subscribe via iTunes<\/a> (if you like it, a five-star review on iTunes is great appreciated!)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/podcast_rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to subscribe via RSS<\/a> (non-iTunes feed)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/category\/podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here to hear the other episodes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/th-podcast\/TTL008.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Right-click here and \u201cSave As\u201d to download the MP3<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are back with the next episode of The Trading Lifestyle Podcast.
