Full show notes: http://chatwithtraders.com/ep002kir... In today’s episode of Chat With Traders, I interview options authority – Kirk Du Plesiss from OptionAlpha.

Kirk takes us through his farfromprofitable first week as a retail trader, which he describes as something like a ‘wild cowboy’. But needless to say, he is now at the other end of the spectrum and having huge success as an options trader.

Throughout the interview we discuss this journey in great detail, plus much more. But not to give to much away… Just know this is a jam packed episode with Kirk sharing plenty of great insights on how you can gain an edge with your trading. This is certainly an interview you should not skip past.
