The Trader's journey : EP.19 - Bruce Kovner

from Trade a Live Hosted by IUX Education

From a taxi driver to a billionaire Market Wizard, Bruce Kovner’s journey began with a near-disaster. In this episode, we dissect his infamous 1977 "Soybean Trade." Kovner watched a massive profit evaporate in minutes because he lacked an exit plan. This painful lesson taught him the Golden Rule of trading: Risk Management. He realized that "emotional attachment" to a trade is the enemy. To survive, you must define your stop-loss before you enter, not after. Discover how Kovner transformed from a rookie gambler into a master of defensive trading. Stop letting greed dictate your exits. Learn to protect your downside first, respect the market's volatility, and trade with professional discipline on IUX. 🔗 Start your real trading journey today with IUX 👉 Sign up now:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Start Now⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🌐 Visit our homepage: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Connect with us Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iuxbroker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube@iuxofficial⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iux.official⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IUX⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠iux.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on your favorite platform for trading insights, tutorials, and updates from the IUX. 📌 Risk Warning: Trading financial instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
