Why most traders fail and how to fix it—that’s the brutally honest conversation we dive into in this must-listen episode of the Two Blokes Trading Podcast.

We’re joined by Charlie Burton, a veteran trader with 28 years of real market experience and the co-founder of Ezeetrader, who has guided thousands of traders through the psychological and technical challenges of building consistency.

Charlie walks us through his early days chasing the Holy Grail of trading strategies, how overconfidence nearly cost him everything, and the specific habits he used to break through and find long-term profitability.

Whether you're a part-time trader or managing capital professionally, Charlie's insights into emotional control, risk calibration, and technical precision are invaluable.

He also breaks down how to make the leap into full-time trading without putting your lifestyle or finances at risk and how most aspiring full-time traders get this part disastrously wrong.
