There are many challenges that come with being a trader. We are all facing different challenges at different levels. What do I mean by “different levels”? The worst level a trader can be at is struggling with their results and having no idea what is causing the issues. We’ve all been there! It’s truly a terrible and demoralizing level to experience. You know their is a problem, but you just know what what “it” is. My guest this episode, Trey (same name in chatroom for you community members), finds himself in annoying, but good spot. It’s annoying because he is really struggling with a certain part of his trading. How can this be a “good spot”? Because Trey knows what the spot is! He just needs to do what he knows he needs to do! Trey is not alone though. His struggle is one I can relate to and a struggle many other traders can too. Let’s talk with Trey and see what we can figure out and try and offer some helpful feedback!

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast - Sunk Cost Fallacy and You

Sunk Cost Fallacy and You

04/01/24 • 16 min

Have you heard of the logical mistake people get tripped up known as the sunk cost fallacy? Odds are, you allow this thinking error to influence your life more than you think. The games our mind can play with us are abundant to begin with in the world of trading and investing. Sprinkle on the day to day mind games such as the sunk cost fallacy and I don’t blame you if smoke begins to pour out of your ears! It’s annoying no doubt, but the biggest problem I would argue is the lack of knowledge of its existence. Once you are aware of these thinking errors, you can be much better prepared to handle them. In my hears of coaching traders I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve seen the sunk cost fallacy create unneeded issues for people. Let’s talk a bit more in-depth about it so you are aware and prepared to fight off this logical fallacy when it comes knocking on your door.

For those of you who are members of the chat room, you've seen that our guest, Curtis, has been doing extremely well for himself. There have been some days that are flat are crazy (and I mean that in a good way!). Many have wanted to hear from Curtis, so that time has come! Unfortunately though, the "secret sauce" that Curtis shares with us is not going to be something that many people want to hear. While it is 110% honest/good/realistic advice, it is what I call the unpopular key to trading success. Notes: Curtis started trading by doing dollar cost averaging pre-1999. He was able to cash out for a nice gain from these strategies. Curtis knew an in-person pumper that would promote various penny stocks that himself and his coworkers would trade. He was fortunate enough to have a large life event happen that caused him to sell near the top of the run. After a 10 year break, Curtis was following an ex-trader who was able to retire at an early age and travel the world and decided he wanted to try his hand at the market one more time. While he tried to follow various traders and modify their techniques, the strategies they were employing did not fit with his personality and led him to lose money. After blowing up his account during a stock halt, Curtis decided to go back to paper trading and really find his strengths. He bought a good notebook and wrote down his daily trades for over 6 months before applying the same strategies to the live market. Curtis then started at half his paper size and slowly scaled up into the same size he was trading on paper. He now is confident in his methods and able to consistently generate more profits relative to losses. Quotes: “I had those dreams of mansions and everything but I was buying a house so I cashed out.” tweet quote “I would try to trade these ridiculous option spreads and there’s just no way unless it’s a freight train.” tweet quote “If I could automate it and backtest it, I could say ‘ok computer, go do it’ and not be in the way.” tweet quote “Your mind gets in the way all the time. I try not to do two things at once. I lose money when I try to.” tweet quote Links: Video: Stock Trading 101 – How to Paper Trade Video: How To Paper Trade With A Purpose

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast - Prop Firm Trap! Beware!

Prop Firm Trap! Beware!

12/09/24 • 17 min

I’ve been talking about prop firms recently, particularly because I am now giving them a try. As I’ve quickly gained experience, I want to point out a trap that exists within the framework of how they work. Prop firms offer a whole lot of upside potential and require very little risk on your end monetarily speaking, but whether it is intentional or not is irrelevant, there is a trap that can create all kinds of pain and headaches. The good news is, the fix to this trap is very straight forward and can be prepared for if you approach all of this in the right way. What is the right way? What is this fix? I’ll walk you through this and more in our episode. Let’s get to it!

01/08/18 • 60 min

We try our best to keep things as “real” as possible on the show, and in this episode I think we do a great job of that given our guest’s strategy. In most instances, the topic of technical charts come up given many in our community use them; however, that’s not the case with fellow member Aaron. There is still lots of fine tuning going on within his strategy, especially in the trade management department, so who knows.... maybe one day charts will find a place. As it stands now, Aarron is looking to improve with each passing week and keep his account in the green. He was open and honest which we can all respect him for. Notes: Today we interview community member Aaron who is relatively new to trading. After realizing he was making next to no return keeping his money in savings, he decided to look into the market. Aaron likes to research sectors and individual companies he believes will have future growth. Considering his 9-5 job, he choose industries and companies in that space that he believes will grow. Something Aaron picked up very early on was that most people who use financial social media are generally unable to accept responsibility for their actions. After watching a few of Clay’s videos and seeing the information conveyed, Aaron decided to join the community. Aaron doesn’t utilize charts to validate his investment choices. He uses the news and fundamental information he comes across. However, he hasn’t bet the farm on any of his trades so even if they were all go to zero, he would be fine. Quotes: One thing I regret is that I haven’t taken a lot of risks in my life. I realized that my money has sat around and done nothing. When there’s a profit to be made, you have to take it. That’s the discipline I have to adhere to. The idea of short manipulation is very misconstrued. It’s like betting against the dice in craps and the odds are reversed. For me, that’s a car payment. Wow that’s a better Christmas for everyone. Don’t be ashamed of profits.

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast - Still Under Construction, but in an Overall Uptrend | STR 125
play

08/07/17 • 76 min

An open and transparent book. That was certainly the overall theme of this Welcome Back interview. Our guest has not only been on the podcast before, but I've also hung out with him in person on two occasions so I wasn't shocked by his honesty... the guy is a quality individual without question. Stephen (chatroom alias, "PH") shares his continued quest to gain solid consistency in the market as he trades and goes through many situations most people can relate to. He still has things to work on, but he's overall in an uptrend and that is what matters. Higher highs and higher lows. He also revealed a new venture he is undertaking that is designed to help all new traders. Be sure to stay until the end as we talk more about it. Notes: Today we are speaking with Stephen a.k.a. PH. His original podcast is linked in the notes below. Stephen started off mainly investing in companies he was familiar with when he just started. While Stephen went through many different strategies starting out, he had to go through that to find what exactly he is comfortable with and excels at. Now he primarily focuses on trading gaps which has led him to a high win rate and much smaller losers than winners. Stephen has utilized the concept of R, which is initial risk. This ties directly into Risk vs Reward and the big emphasis Stephen makes is the fact that it is dynamic. While he accepts the risk on entry, if he sees a more logical location to move his stop loss and lose less, he always will! If a trade doesn’t meet his determined targets vs risk, he passes on the trade. He has rules that he sticks to every trade but there is a need to have some flexibility. Considering Stephen is an entrepreneur, he launched https://www.stocktradersjourney.com/ to document his journey through education and his trading. He offers reviews of various trading education, trading signals and anything else that pertains to trading the market. He is doing this without any affiliation compensation. We truly enjoy these follow up interviews to really show the progress our community members have made. Learning to trade and trade well is not an overnight process but with hard work and dedication, any one truly can learn how to do it. Quotes: It’s the evolution of the journey and trying to find the strategy that most fits our individual personalities. The R is your risk value. Every single trade I’m willing to risk 1R to make 2 or ideally 3R. I don’t just set it and leave it though. You want to have rules but need to remain flexible. The market isn’t a rigid thing. It’s a living, breathing thing you can’t control. The purpose of this website is to share with people the mistakes I’ve made so they can learn from them.

I’m here to teach! I want everyone to have a firm foundation of even the most basic economic and money principles. With that being said, apparently we need to talk exchange rates. What they are. How they work. Their practical implications. Tucker Carlson recently did a video and his entire argument was based on a very flawed premise. How flawed? The very thing he was arguing for he at the same exact time was defeating. How is this king of logic and accomplishment even possible? Well, if you don’t understand your premise, you’re going to have issues. If you are someone who is not quite sure what an exchange rate is, let’s talk about it. If you are someone who enjoys some comedic irony, you’ll get a laugh out of this.

It’s a confusing time. You look at many of the economic indicators and it seems like the USA is on fire (in a good way!); however, there are some apparent contradictions between economic indicators and public perception. With stock market highs, job surges, and dropping inflation, why does Biden face a 20-point deficit against Trump in economic handling? There is some additional data we need to look into to have a better understanding of what the cause of this confusing disconnect is arising from. Let’s talk some current events while also learning a bit more about economics so you can become the most informed voter possible!

A whole lot of whether or not you will find success as a trader depends on your attitudes and perspective before you begin. If you approach the world of trading from the wrong angle, you are not guaranteed to fail; however, you are putting yourself at a distinct disadvantage. We all value our time and in order to maximize your time efficiency as a trader, you want to enter a situation with the realistic mindset. I had an interaction with someone recently and it really made it glaringly obvious that their mind was in the wrong place. Again, I don’t want to overexaggerate and be dramatic. Minds in the wrong place don’t mean you will for sure fail, but minds in the wrong place need to be corrected... so here we are! Let’s make sure you are not in this place within your trading which sets you up for false expectations and causes you to look in the wrong places.

Can you imagine walking through literal mountains in the pitch dark at the age of 11? That’s what our guest, Hussam (goes by “Sam”), endured as his family left Iraq back in the 1990’s! Sam had to start at ground zero and build from there. Learn the language and culture and then become self sustainable. Sam has done exactly that and demonstrated an immense level of ambition and drive. With that being said, this is where Sam is now struggling as a trader. One of the cruel jokes the market plays on us is having the requirement that you need to be ambitious; however, at the same exact time, you can’t be too ambitious of you’ll have lots of issues. Sam held nothing back and walked us through his struggles and the issues that have been plaguing him. Thanks to his transparency, it opens the doors to many learning lessons for those of you who are beginners and offers up a reminder for all of us traders at all levels. Let’s get to it!
