Interview with Garrett Drinon, SMB Capital
By Dave Mabe
On this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we interview my good friend Garrett Drinon. Garrett is a senior trader at SMB Capital and runs a show called Bionic Trader, where I have a guest spot on the first Tuesday of each month.
This was a wide-ranging interview, covering a variety of topics.
We discuss:
Garrett's unusual background before he started trading
How discretionary trading is mostly systematic trading in disguise
The biggest breakthrough in his trading (timeframes!)
How earnings strategies and quantitative testing became core to his edge
A rare window into trading life on the desk at SMB Capital
And much more...
