In this episode of Fill the Gap, Tyler Wood, CMT and Dave Lundgren, CMT, CFA interview David Cox, CMT, CFA, Senior Portfolio Manager at Financially INsync, about his evolution into a technically driven investor and how his experience shaped a disciplined, trend-following approach. David also emphasizes the importance of routines, risk management, and acting decisively at market inflection points. He describes it as a "technically driven approach," relying far more on price, volume, relative strength, and market behavior than on narratives or headlines, which he views as often misleading for investors.

The conversation also explores the emotional and practical challenges of managing client money, including handling cash positions, avoiding large drawdowns, and balancing clear rules with discretion rather than fully automating decisions. This episode gives you a glimpse into the inner workings of portfolio management, as well as the mindset of a successful portfolio manager.

Fill the Gap, hosted by David Lundgren, CMT, CFA and Tyler Wood, CMT brings veteran market analysts and money managers onto a monthly podcast.
