For the next interview in the StockTickr Interview Series (RSS feed), I spoke with Timothy Morge. Some of you might recognize Tim from the Trader’s Expos where he is a frequent speaker.

Tim has a wealth of experience in various parts of the trading industry. He was Chief Trader at First National Bank of Chicago and then Head of Foreign Exchange for First Chicago. After that he formed his own company and started trading private money. He has two web sites, one called Median Line where he posts charts from some of his trades and Market Geometry a forum where he interacts with traders.

Read on for more about how Tim got started (he hand drew charts starting at age 15!), what’s at the heart of great traders’ success (it SHOULD come as no surprise if you read this blog), and how he equates trading with the work his father did as a welder.

(Note: we’ve recently made changes to the StockTickr Free Trial - billing info is no longer required to take the trial. Take StockTickr for a risk-free joyride!)
