TORONTO - With more than 9 years of experience as Trading Floor Manager, Shawn (33) is one of the most active Day Trade The World™'s Trading Floor Owners. He spent a few minutes with us to answer some frequently asked questions. Read them below.

Shawn, what do you like the most about this business idea?

The best thing is the simple fact that everyday is different. day trade the world reviewThis is not a job at a bank, or a trade desk, this is a job where the highs and lows will be present everyday. Will this be a great day for the floor? Will my traders be able to take advantage of what they see on the charts and make today one of their best days ever? You are also running your own small business with the Trading Floor, and each day/week/month could make or break your business, for me that is enough to make this the perfect job for me. It is also very rewarding when you see your students graduate and start their path to becoming a professional trader, the success of who you hire directly relates to your bottom line.

How was your best day as a manager?

My best day is one in which we had one of our best days monetarily on the floor ever. Our traders were researching all week a certain market moving event that would occur at the close, and they were preparing to execute trades on many symbols in all markets. As a team, myself and the traders searched our resources and gathered as much information as possible in order to arm ourselves for the close. By the end of the day, almost every trader on the floor had doubled their monthly net at the time, the emotions and energy on the floor were explosive. Everyone was extremely happy and pleased with the results of the trades and it really hit home the importance of research and understanding of market movements. Since that day, the traders became more inquisitive and information seeking than ever, as a result our profits continue to rise.
