Limit Up!

Since its heyday in the 80s, retail trading hasn’t been hugely popular. But now, especially in the last two months of market fluctuations, retail trading seems to be entering a new golden age. It wasn’t even the pandemic that got this ball rolling, Younger generations have been dipping their toes in the industry ever since the boom of crypto. This week on Limit Up! we’re joined by TopstepTrader’s very own founder and Chief Visionary Officer Michael Patak. Michael chatted with Jack and Dan about why retail trades are suddenly so lucrative as well as some strategies he employs to trade successfully. Stay tuned for reflections on the market and a discussion on what’s going on with Boeing and Hertz.
