Why This Trader Ignores All Financial News (He Used to Write It for BBC)

Glen Goodman turned £3,000 into £100,000 by shorting the 2008 crash, then quit journalism to trade full-time. Now, as author of the bestselling "The Crypto Trader", he's profited from every major Bitcoin cycle while avoiding the 80-90% crashes that destroy retail accounts. In this conversation, he exposes why 98% of day traders fail, reveals the body language tells from bank CEOs that signaled the 2008 collapse, and explains his exact crypto exit strategy using ETF flows that institutions don't want you tracking.Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 02:06 - BBC career started drunk 04:42 - Boris Johnson warning signs 06:20 - Predicting the 2008 financial crash 12:36 - Timing shorts during collapse 16:21 - Big win psychology traps 24:15 - Why financial news lies 27:18 - Trend following vs bargains 39:17 - Crypto trading cycle method 58:15 - Calling Bitcoin's 2017 top 1:09:06 - ETF flow exit strategy#cryptotrading #bitcointrading #tradingstrategyHow to Reach Glen: 🐦 X (Twitter): @glengoodman 🌍 Website: https://www.glengoodman.comFollow The Trading Battle: 🐦 X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/ttb_live 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetradingbattle/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetradingbattleThe Trading Battle — Where Traders Learn, Compete & WinJoin thousands of traders who've discovered their new favorite trading education channel.
