  • Invaluable Resource for an Aspiring Trader

    I’ve so far listened to the first 13 episodes of the show, but have already learned so much valuable information from seasoned traders. I began learning about trading last month, and one of the most value-packed of the learning resources I’ve found so far has been this podcast. Few other places seem to offer the kind of access to real trading knowledge offered here for free. Highly recommend for any aspiring traders such as myself, but I’m positive value can be found here by traders with years o... more

  • Great podcast. But Tessa has to

    If it wasn’t for the fast forward button I would not be able to make it through this podcast. Tessa makes this almost unbearable to listen.

  • Tessa Dao needs to level up

    Since host and owner Tessa Dao bought the podcast, it’s gone downhill. Tessa, if you’re reading this, here are the things you NEED TO DO to bring the podcast to its former glory: 1. First and foremost, properly mix the sound levels on your episodes. It’s amateur hour to hear your pianissimo voice over commercial and then cut to Aaron Fifield’s booming voice. Use a mixer or hiere one so I don’t have to keep my hand on the volume knob to adjust in real time. Seriously. 2. Take a voice training cla... more

  • Skip Tessa

    Great podcast series but clueless and babbling Tessa is a real drawback. Sorry to say.

  • Interviews are great but the preamble at the start of each show is terrible

    Move the female’s rambling monologue to the end of the show not the start. It’s turning a lot of people off because nothing is being said and it doesn’t make sense to reference a bunch of other episodes when we’re about to listen to an episode.

    Aside from that the questions and quality of guests are really good

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

322 · Stephen Kalayjian - What 43 Years in the Markets Teaches You
Q: How did you transition from floor trader to tech-enabled trader?
Realizing market structure was changing with decimals and automation, he built software tied to divergences across multiple timeframes and later partnered with quant experts to automate, emphasizing that price leads and indicators lag.
322 · Stephen Kalayjian - What 43 Years in the Markets Teaches You
Q: What early experiences shaped your trading mindset?
Watching and learning from his father's work ethic, plus mentorship from Frank and other floor mentors, taught him discipline, execution, and the importance of a plan.
321 · Eduardo Briceño - $1,900 Small Cap Trader Hit $2.9 Mil in Profits
Q: What role does journaling and process play in Edu's trading longevity?
Journaling acts as a performance feedback loop, turning trades into data (quality and quantity), enabling adjustments in entry, size, and exit. This systematic review helps sustain profits and reduce emotional decision-making.
321 · Eduardo Briceño - $1,900 Small Cap Trader Hit $2.9 Mil in Profits
Q: How does Edu Trades describe the triad of trading and apply it in practice?
The triad consists of strategy (edge and EV), risk management/position sizing, and mindset. He uses a structured approach to determine when to enter, how to size, and how to manage emotions, adapting as market cycles shift.
320 · Stefan Stadie - Sports Betting and Prediction Markets - Through a Trading Lens
Q: What advice does Stefan give to newcomers in predictive markets?
Start small, track everything to determine if you have an edge, and focus on risk management and discipline rather than chasing big bets, since fees and edge dynamics can eat into profits.
