Harry Daniels
From Floor Rookie to Global News Powerhouse: Harry Daniels’ Journey
When Harry Daniels was handed a trading phone with no idea what to say, he didn’t panic – he adapted. That single chaotic moment kicked off a career spanning decades, taking him from the trading pits of LIFFE and the chaos of Black Wednesday to building LiveSquawk, a trusted real-time audio news service used by top traders and global banks.
In this episode, Harry joins host Jason Sen to recount how his early days as a floor runner shaped his instincts, how LiveSquawk was launched on three credit cards, and why information timing not just price can be a trader’s edge.
He also shares what it’s like to sit in the room where Non-Farm Payrolls are released and ask questions to central bank leaders like Mario Draghi and Mark Carney.
Whether you’re a retail trader trying to understand fundamentals, or a seasoned pro looking to avoid being blindsided by geopolitical shocks and economic releases, Harry delivers hard-earned insights with clarity, humour, and depth.
If you’ve ever wondered how professionals really stay ahead of market-moving news, this one’s for you.
