The Odds of Rage
Oct 22, 202100:15:23Tap to summarizeI take a trade on mic & talk about rage quitting my way into the red vs. the possibility of a profitable stoic diligence. Recorded 10/21/21 at 9:40 AM.

Transcribe →Scared Dummy
Mar 26, 202100:15:11Tap to summarizeYou know how the dark is scary and it's just because you don't know what's there? Well I don't know if I'm making a good entry. I don't know where to set a stop loss. I don't know what I'm doing. And all that unknown stuff has me trading scared. But also some cause for optimism here in week 4. Stuff I Reference Ross Cameron of Warrior Trading talking a lot about level 2s while reviewing TD Ameritrade. And then Cameron talking about Relative Volume, which is the video where he also talks about his winning percentage and smaller wins. And here's Hurwitz interviewing usual host Fifield on Chat with Traders, which includes Fifield saying five years ago my exact thing about wanting to code backtests to gain more confidence in strategies.

Transcribe →A $1,000 VWAP Misadventure
Mar 22, 202100:16:02Tap to summarizeVWAP is volume-weighted average price. It's apparently a decent thing to pay attention to and seemed to hold up nicely in some casual backtesting over last weekend. So I went all-in on it like a dummy and lost big. Plus, where my intraday strategy is now and what I hope to learn going forward. I mention a couple of episode of the Chat with Traders podcast, Aaron Fifield's interviews with Kristjan Kullamägi & Zach Hurwitz. I also give some credit to the Humbled Trader on YouTube for giving me a little to think about with volume (I think that's the video).

Transcribe →#1...FOMO
Mar 10, 202100:11:46Tap to summarizeLook, I'm doing stuff because I'm afraid I'll miss big gains. So I have to call it what it annoyingly is: FOMO. On this first episode of my trading...journey (I have to use words like that because that's what I'm dealing with here), I talk a little bit about getting started and the big emotional driver that I'm excited to overcome. Thanks for following along. Hope all is well with you.
