83 | Gavin Holmes - how Volume Spread Analysis became his breakthrough

A TRADER'S LIFE

If you’re interested in the part volume - in particular, volume spread analsyis - has to play in picking a winning trade, this episode is for you.

Trader, mentor, author and CEO of TradeGuider, Gavin Holmes got into trading quite by chance when he met a professional trader while working in events. The two men got talking and Gavin started to gobble up everything he could on the subject of supply and demand.

Where does the smart money leave its footprints? he wanted to know. Volume. How to scan for it, how to read it? Done manually that would take forever. So he built some software to help him identify financial instruments that were getting ready to pop. What he and a coder came up with not only worked for him, it’s worked for thousands of traders around the world.

Gavin and I got together in early September 2023 to chat about his transition from police officer to salesman, from student trader and more recently fund manager. He’s a thoroughly gregarious chap and I hope you enjoy the conversation.
