Reality Of Trading Professionally – Show Notes In episode 187 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down with James Whelan and Daniel Moss in Sydney. Both work for VFS Group, a private wealth management fund. I wanted to discuss with them what it's like to trade in a firm of the sort and what you can expect as well if you ever decide to trade professionally.
