TradingLife Podcast with Brad Jelinek

This is sort of a part two to the last podcast.

I talk about a difficult experience I am going through with a large loss and some of the things that led up to it.

I talk about a very important insight I had today while consuming something from a reputable source which made me feel negative and fearful. I think this is a big growth area a lot of people can benefit from.

I met with Trader who has been in the business for over 30 years and discuss some of the important crossovers between sports and trading as well as different ways to preserve your focus as you grow.

The podcast I do with Brent is free and I’ve opened up the episodes so check that out and subscribe to the channel. I also talk a little bit about changing behaviors and habits which will be expanded upon in a different podcast.

I discuss adding to a already profitable trade and the hidden benefits of it.

This is a recording of a conversation I had with a friend about if things get easier over time and then we also get into certain athletes and how they are able to maintain their edge as it relates to trading.

I discuss a concept from the Gerald Loeb book that I’m reading. It relates to your ability to focus on what’s most important and how that can shortcut your learning process to finding the best trades.

Today I discuss a classic investment book that I am relating to and then I go into how I am growing my trading business. This is pretty wide ranging and it veers off into a variety of topics.

Brent and I discuss the specifics on how the market bottomed today and how/why we were anticipating the potential for it earlier in the day.

Brent and I discuss how we setup a trade after a big trend day and how this process often repeats itself.

I discuss how the big tech names were holding down the market today while the rest of the market was more healthy. Once those names stopped bleeding the stage was set for a rally. I also talk about what I think we can expect from here.

Brent and I discuss how and why we were able to get long equity futures after the federal reserve meeting.

Brent and I discuss the upcoming FOMC meeting and a little bit on how we prep for events.

Brent and I discuss a few strategies to judge yourself properly in order to keep the nasty emotions at work and not at home with you.

Close friend and mentor Brent Nord and I discuss a variety of trading topics: the emotional grind, risk management, life balance after the markets close and a future premium podcast offering.

I discuss the post CPI trade today and how I felt it offered good opportunity based on what I described in yesterday‘s podcast about the potential participation in the market after the number failed to hold the rally as everyone expected.

I discuss a Twitter stupid news trade and go through some of the reasons why I did the trade. I also discussed today’s CPI report and how I used the positioning to trade the S&P futures from the short side.

I talk about some of my biggest mistakes and why I’m going back to recount them and what I can learn from doing that.

I discuss how the Tesla news this morning about dividends and stock buybacks presented a stupid news shorting opportunity in Rivian. More importantly it’s about learning how to think and look for these things.

I briefly talk about how I handle these things and why.

I discuss the book Breathe by Rickson Gracie and the parallels it has to trading. The surviving versus winning mentality, cross pollination with other artists and attention to the most mundane details in your craft.

Today I talk about Ted Williams the historic baseball player, how he broke down the strike zone in order to bat .400 and what you can do with your trading to take a similar approach.

I discuss my return to short term trading,the mindset I have and why.
