What does it really take for you to go from a beginner trader to trading full-time with confidence?

In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford sits down with Rose Hetherington, a Hobart-based trader who started with limited sharemarket experience and went on to build triple-digit returns through disciplined, rules-based trading. Rose now has 11 shares showing gains of more than 100%, has reached a personal equity high, and has stepped away from her day job to trade full-time.

Rose shares how committing to a clear trading plan, revisiting her education, and focusing on process over prediction helped her grow both her portfolio and her confidence. She also opens up about balancing trading with family life, including raising three children with special needs, and why structure and patience have been essential to her success.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How Rose built consistent profits by sticking to simple, repeatable trading rules
• Why discipline matters more than intelligence in long-term trading success
• What it takes to plan a safe transition from employment to full-time trading
• How trading with structure gave Rose more clarity, calmness, and presence at home

If you’re serious about improving your trading, building confidence in the Australian sharemarket, and creating more freedom through disciplined investing, this episode will show you what’s possible when you stay committed to the process.
