Knowing the difference is what separates a winning entry from a stop-out.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ Why price is the only signal that truly matters✅ The Slingshot setup — entering pullbacks with low risk before the breakout✅ The Fishhook setup — how to trade earnings gaps without buying the top✅ The auction model — buyer's auction vs. seller's auction vs. balanced✅ Icarus levels (wicks that fade) vs. Atlas levels (real support)✅ Why most wicks form in the first 10–20 minutes and why they don't matter✅ How to draw clean pivot lines and "rungs on the ladder"✅ Why moving averages get sliced through and what to use instead✅ How Scot1and held Spotify through a 30%+ drawdown using pivots✅ Position sizing: distance to stop, liquidity, volatility, and price✅ How to scan IPOs (CRWV, CRCL, HNGE) for the next big leader✅ Managing flow, tilt, and imposter syndrome as a traderFollow Scot1and:https://x.com/Scot1andT— The TraderLion TeamFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/traderlion_https://x.com/TraderLionhttps://www.facebook.com/traderlionhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/traderlionhttps://www.tiktok.com/@traderlionTimestamps:0:00 - Welcome & Introduction2:39 - Icarus to Atlas — origin of the framework3:27 - Background: dot-com era, market making, learning to trade6:47 - Trading philosophy — price is the only thing that matters8:42 - Intro to the Slingshot & Fishhook setups12:23 - The Slingshot formula — 4-EMA of highs explained17:39 - Slingshot examples & what is NOT a slingshot22:32 - The Fishhook setup — trading EPs without buying the top26:36 - The charity auction story — origin of the auction model30:37 - Buyer's vs. Seller's vs. Balanced auctions31:09 - Icarus & Atlas — wicks, fading spikes & real demand33:19 - Why the 10-minute chart shows the auction best37:07 - Why moving averages are overrated40:18 - How to draw pivot lines (cutting off the wicks)43:47 - Distribution example — Roblox ladder breakdown53:21 - How pivots saved his Spotify long position55:33 - Reading IPOs — Robinhood, CRWV, CRCL, Hinge1:01:16 - Position sizing, risk per trade, and account management1:07:16 - Finding flow, avoiding tilt & imposter syndrome1:19:24 - chart walkthroughs — Nike, Sezzle, LEU, Hinge

This isn't about hot setups or chasing momentum. It's about behavior, process, and the painful truth that most retail traders sabotage themselves long before the market gets the chance.Linda walks through the three ways to approach the markets — passion, hobby, or job — and explains why treating it as a hobby first is the single biggest unlock for part-time traders. She shares case studies of real traders she's mentored over 20+ years: the brilliant friend with two accounts (one quiet 2-to-5-day options strategy that prints, one over-active account flat after four years), the 20-year veteran running one bread-and-butter model while baking bread and vacationing in Italy, "Swiss Miss" trading just three futures markets at a specific time of day, and "part-time Aaron" with 7-minute holding times. The throughline: every successful part-time trader narrows down to one or two strategies and stops trying to do everything.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ Why approaching trading as a hobby first removes the performance pressure that's silently destroying your bottom line✅ De la Vega's four 1688 principles that still describe modern trading psychology better than most current books✅ The difference between trade management and risk management — and why most part-timers confuse the two✅ Why over-trading is a dopamine addiction, not a strategy problem✅ How successful part-time traders narrow down to one or two strategies, often after a decade of trial and error✅ The 5-SMA strategy Linda still uses on relative-strength leaders like IBM✅ "Chunking the data" — using the 8 a.m. opening range to structure short-term trades around a job✅ Why peak-performance sports books beat 90% of trading psychology titles for the priceWhere to follow Linda:🔗 lindaraschke.net📕 Books: Street Smarts, Trading Sardines (now back in print)Enjoy!The TraderLion TeamFollow us:https://www.instagram.com/traderlion_https://x.com/TraderLionhttps://www.facebook.com/traderlionhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/traderlionhttps://www.tiktok.com/@traderlionTimestamps0:00 — Intro3:02 — Trading as a Passion, Hobby, or Job — Pick the Right One7:07 — De la Vega's 4 Enduring Principles From 168811:07 — The Behavioral Biases That Quietly Kill Most Traders16:02 — Step 1: Brutal Accountability and Behavioral Honesty17:27 — Take the Pressure Off — Treat It Like a Hobby18:50 — Trade Management vs. Risk Management — They're Not the Same23:09 — The Hard Facts: Only 3-6% of Retail Traders Are Profitable28:22 — Process, Process, Process — Building Your Rule Set31:52 — Case Study "Joe": Two Accounts, One That Quietly Prints41:46 — Case Study: 20-Year Veteran With One Strategy, One Losing Year in 2044:15 — "Swiss Miss" — Three Futures Markets, One Time of Day45:25 — Part-Time Aaron — 7-Minute Holding Times That Actually Work48:15 — Lower Frequency, Fewer Markets, More Discipline52:01 — The 5-SMA Strategy on IBM (Set It at Night, Walk Away)55:30 — Chunking the Data: 8 a.m. Opening Range Trades for Working Traders1:00:23 — High-Beta Opening-Range Gappers (KLAC Case Study)1:02:32 — Systematic Trading: Toby Crabel and Range Expansion1:08:11 — Record Keeping by Hand — Linda's 20-Year Ritual1:13:26 — The Year-End Summary: Written Plan, Sleep, Journal, Magic Crystals1:19:24 — Q&A

His system runs on a virtual server while he travels, and he only checks a daily email to confirm orders executed correctly.In this interview, Laurens breaks down how he thinks about building and combining strategies in a way almost no one else teaches.

In this episode, Tito shares the full journey from his first brokerage account during the COVID crash to becoming one of the top-performing traders in the country.Tito's path wasn't smooth. He grew up in India, moved to the US in 2015 for a PhD at Harvard, and started trading in March 2020 with $80K in blue chips. By early 2021 he'd grown that to $200K — then watched it crumble through the ARK bubble, revenge trading, and a devastating $33K single-day loss while earning a $40K grad student stipend. In 2022, he grew a $15K account to $90K only to give it all back in two days around FOMC.The turning point? Sizing down to a $5K account in 2023 to rebuild his mental equity curve. Tito breaks down his three-pillar methodology — right stock, right sector, right market — and walks through his full options framework: strike selection, IV awareness, debit spreads vs. naked calls, and his scaling rules (25% off at 50%, 50% off at 100%, trail the rest).He walks through seven real trades in detail: the Tesla September setup that went from his biggest loss to his biggest win ($3 calls to $40), the APP post-earnings IV flush ($2 calls to $20 same day), RKLB LEAPs (5x in three weeks), the QCOM/ARM sympathy play that became his best P&L day ever, and three losing trades — MSTR, COIN, and a biotech gap-down on CURE.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ How Tito turned $48K into $1M+ in one year trading options✅ His three-pillar framework: right stock, right sector, right market✅ Options structure: when to buy naked calls vs. debit spreads✅ The post-earnings IV flush strategy (APP trade: $2 → $20 same day)✅ How he uses a cash account as a psychological guardrail✅ Why he sized down to $5K after major losses to rebuild confidence✅ His daily circuit breaker, wiring-out strategy, and weekend review process✅ How his science background (hypothesis → experiment → results) shaped his trading processWhether you trade options, swing trade stocks, or are just getting started, Tito's story is a masterclass in risk management, self-awareness, and the discipline it takes to compound capital.Enjoy!– The TraderLion TeamTimestamps:0:00 - Tito Adhikary Intro4:36 - Growing Up in India & Harvard PhD9:28 - First Trades During the COVID Crash12:15 - ARK Bubble & First Major Losses16:49 - Learning Resources: Market Wizards & More22:27 - Science to Trading Parallels30:18 - Losing $33K in One Day as a Grad Student36:23 - $15K to $90K, Then Giving It All Back40:27 - Rebuilding on a $5K Account43:50 - Methodology: Right Stock, Sector & Market50:53 - Options Framework: Strikes, IV & Spreads59:03 - Risk Management & Circuit Breakers1:06:17 - 2025: $48K to $1M+ in One Year1:17:37 - Wiring Out Profits & Buying His First Home1:22:22 - Trade Breakdown: Tesla $3 Calls → $401:28:51 - Trade Breakdown: APP IV Flush ($2 → $20)1:36:19 - Trade Breakdown: RKLB LEAPs (5x in 3 Weeks)1:42:24 - Trade Breakdown: QCOM/ARM Best Day Ever1:56:54 - Losing Trades: MSTR, COIN & CURE2:09:35 - Adapting to Choppy Markets2:17:29 - Advice for Struggling Traders

In this episode, Phil breaks down how he turned $5,000 into over $50 million as a short seller — and the brutal lessons that shaped his "extreme risk management" approach.Phil's journey started with failure. He lost money swing trading long in his sophomore and junior years of college before discovering short selling in his senior year — where he turned $5K into $1 million in eight months. But the lessons didn't stop there. He lost $500,000 in the following three months, teaching him the importance of wiring out profits and never trading with money he couldn't afford to lose.Discover what Phil calls "extreme risk management" — why he expects to be green immediately on every entry, how he pyramids into positions, and why he never adds to losing trades. Learn how cutting out C and D trades doubled his profits, why he sizes down during drawdowns, and how studying your biggest losses is where the real edge is found.Phil walks through real trade examples including his seven-figure SMCI short, the MSTR parabolic reversal, and the frustrating SLV silver trade that didn't perform to his expectations.

His journey is one of the most compelling entrepreneur-to-trader transformations we've featured on the show.Steve started trading in the 1990s as a teenager, catching his first monster trade in EMC — a 500% gain with no clue what he was doing. But trading took a backseat when he built two software companies from the ground up — one growing to 250 employees before being acquired.When Steve returned to trading full-time in 2017, it took him two years to become profitable — and during that time, he blew up multiple accounts. Then came Volmageddon in 2018, when his XIV position "went to the center of the earth and became a flaming pile of trash." But Steve got back to work the very next day. Through discovering Qullamaggie, Minervini, and Jim Roppel, he transitioned to swing trading the market leaders — and never looked back.In this episode, Steve walks through his complete trading system, the "factory" mindset he uses to build repeatable processes, his setups and entry triggers, position sizing rules, and 10+ real trades from both 2025 and early 2026 — including Bloom Energy, Hood, Palantir, Credo, SanDisk, and his short trades in Nugget and Silver. He also shares how he uses the VIX as a timing tool and the key lessons from his 21.5% January 2026 performance.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ How Steve's 20 years building startups shaped his "trading is a business" philosophy✅ The Volmageddon disaster — and why you need a "spoonful of delusion" to survive✅ His transition from day trading to swing trading the market leaders✅ Setups he trades: flat base breakouts, undercut & reclaims, higher lows, 6/20 crossover✅ Position sizing: 3-5% starters, pyramiding to 12-15%, targeting 0.1-0.2% risk per trade✅ 10+ real trade walkthroughs with entries, adds, trims, and exits — bar by barThis isn't just theory — this is the real process behind a 70%+ year in the US Investing Championship.Enjoy!- The TraderLion TeamPublic Sponsorship Disclosure:Paid endorsement.Brokerage services provided by Open to the Public Investing Inc, member FINRA & SIPC.
