Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/steve-nison/

Key moments

[06:52] "Just because you see a candlestick signal doesn't mean you should trade on it."
[08:34] "The more signals you have coinciding at the same point, the more likely a reversal."
[09:52] "A doji doesn't mean it's a reversal signal."
[10:52] "You can have the same candlestick signals, but where they appear and the overall market condition will really affect what you're going to be doing with them."
[16:57] "If you limit your losses, that's the name of the game."
[17:59] "Put a stop in as soon as you place the order."
[18:44] "Get very comfortable with recognizing the candlestick signals."

323. Former Trading Floor Trader Destroys ICT’s Market Algorithm Theory w/ Paul Scott May 13, 2026

Show notes

The markets move trillions of dollars every single day… but what if everything traders believe about “the algorithm” is completely wrong?

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/paul-scott-2/

Key moments

[06:47] “Prices, markets, ranges will have different values over time. Depends on what’s going on.”
[09:45] “That’s why people are still sitting there at a desk. That’s why they still employ traders, because traders have what? A brain.”
[11:18] “All markets are driven by human intent.”
[11:47] “If enough people think the same way as you, well then there’s no point in selling when everybody’s shouting buy, and there’s no point in buying when everybody’s shouting sell.”
[18:25] “The minute you say, ‘I think,’ you have screwed yourself.”
[19:34] “The market has made its mind up about what the decision is about the current value.”
[19:47] “As institutional traders, you’re hunting for liquidity.”
[21:18] “If you trade with your ego and you think that, ‘Oh, I’m better than the market,’ that’s not going to make any bloody difference whatsoever.”
[21:42] “The market will do what it wants to do, regardless of whatever the hell you do.”
[21:57] “Reading the tape is essentially getting in a time machine, coming back down to a trading floor when it’s all open outcry and witnessing what goes on.”
[23:08] “A key decision-making place on a chart — has there been a decision that’s been made there previously?”
[23:40] “You need to understand what did the market think the value was of this particular price.”

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/humble-trader/

Key moments

[08:03] "The people who want to know why are the people that tend to be more successful."
[11:45] "With somebody that has really good risk management, they can flip a coin and say, heads or tails and take a trade that can still be profitable."
[23:01] "It’s important to scale, right? For every thousand dollars you make, you add a micro."
[24:26] "You just have to stay consistent and follow the rules."
[25:08] "They don’t break the rules when they’re winning. They break the rules when they lose."
[25:28] "If you lose that trade, come back tomorrow and do three micros."
[27:48] "The most important thing in trading is mastering yourself."
[28:00] "Develop self-awareness, emotional control."
[28:20] "Most traders, they fail not because their charts are wrong, but because they can’t control their reactions."
[28:41] "After every day you journal."

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/andre-stewart-toxic-truth/

Key moments

[08:35] "You’re going to see a lot more failure than you see success."
[08:35] "Failure shows up as a teacher… teaches you what not to do."
[09:35] "What most people call a stop run is nothing more than the liquidity void."
[10:36] "Mastering the art of risk is mastering the art of you."
[11:51] "You can’t trade if your life is stressful."
[13:37] "Your system makes money for you. You don’t make money."
[16:54] "The discretionary trader is always going to come back to zero."
[17:39] "You can’t copy somebody… we have different psychological profiles."
[21:50] "You also can’t be a crowd follower and be a trader."
[23:02] "200 pips a week will change your life."
[23:02] "People always want to hit the home run."
[27:54] "Reading the market requires you to learn real market mechanics."

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/the-100k-apprentice/

Key moments

[06:54] “Building evidence is the vital part. Without structured evidence, you’re just guessing.”
[08:25] “Be dynamic — take partials or close trades based on what price is doing, not what you hope it will do.”
[12:11] “Pullbacks are generally not too large and not with momentum — manage expectations accordingly.”
[13:24] “Know when a trade is counter-trend — treat it differently than a high-probability pro-trend setup.”
[15:56] “Be ready to get out when price shows no commitment and there’s no follow-through.”
[17:41] “When the move is too impulsive and you missed it, call it a day.”
[18:06] “Turn the charts off after you miss the move — don’t chase with worse risk-reward.”
[19:54] “Performance isn’t just about profit — grade yourself on execution.”
[20:17] “Filtering low-probability trades is just as important as taking good ones.”

319. The "Holy Grail" Trading System, Automation, Macro and Mindset w/ Trader Nick Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

Trader Nick shares how he’s built a successful trading career by focusing on steady, consistent gains through risk management, macro analysis, and automation, rather than chasing “holy grail” setups or getting caught up

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/trader-nick/

Key moments

[08:45] "The real Holy Grail is realizing great profitability just comes from steady, you know, consistent small gains."
[18:25] "Reduce your position size. The quickest way to improve as a trader is to trade with a minimal trade size, which erodes away a lot of the psychological side of trading and helps you to think logically about your
[20:27] "Trading is supposed to be boring. It's not supposed to be this, you know, lights in a casino feeling."
[21:33] "There's no such thing as a chart that is easier than others, in my opinion… Whatever you trade though I would say make sure it's liquid. That's a big thing. Make sure you can actually get filled on whatever you'
[23:05] "You can specialize. If you stare at charts long enough, it's hard to explain what it is, other than the word intuition. You build intuition on charts that you study really closely every single day."
[25:04] "If you want to learn fundamental analysis, the best way to do so is to read a lot of articles, watch a lot of content, and listen to a lot of interviews with economists, with portfolio managers. If you don't, fi
[29:21] "Even with good risk management… it's still very psychologically difficult. Trying to convince yourself to trade like a robot and to not have any emotions or feelings is wrong. The better approach is to acknowled
[32:32] "If you don't have anything to do on the charts, you really better close them. It's better off that you go do something else."
[34:34] "When you're selling options for premium… your win rate's really high. On my momentum side of things, I'd say it's much lower… but those strategies help smooth out the equity curve and helps with the psychologica
[43:10] "Every single trader listening to this right now will go through losing streaks that are shocking, and if you are not prepared for, if you're not ready for the outlier losing streaks and drawdowns, you're much mo

318. The #1 FTMO Trader’s Mindset w/ Bernd Skorupinski Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we sit down with trader and entrepreneur Bernd Skorupinski to uncover his journey from early struggles to becoming a respected figure in the prop trading world. Bernd shares raw insights on mindset, risk

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/bernd-skorupinski/

Key moments

[14:13] "There are only a few variables that you change. You never change your strategy. You never change your execution… The only thing that you change is your risk per trade, but only when you are allowed to change it,
[22:40] "It's a must to track and be very picky with your journaling process… You need like physical proof that you need to change something. Otherwise, it's just a gut feel."
[27:45] "Once you're not yet consistent, use prop firm challenges as your driving license test… If you're not capable of passing a prop firm challenge with your strategy, don't ever touch your own money."
[29:33] "Prop trading is definitely something that I believe eventually can make normal brokers obsolete… benefits of prop trading… clearly outweigh the disadvantages…"
[44:36] "Don’t compare your journey to others or use how quickly someone else succeeded as your benchmark; focus on your own learning path and variables."
[52:56] "Treat trading as a side hustle or second business in the beginning—never quit your job too early, or you’ll add too much pressure to your trading."
[53:58] "Choose a trading style that fits your lifestyle; swing trading is recommended for most because it’s more sustainable for people with jobs and families, while day trading suits those with more time."
[60:12] "Once you’re consistent, the only way to make more money is by scaling the capital traded, not by overtrading or increasing frequency."
[61:16] "Use milestone planning to scale up—gradually increase your risk as you become comfortable, rather than making big jumps driven by greed."
[64:17] "Concentrate on the two KPIs that matter: risk-to-reward ratio and win/loss ratio; aim for at least a 1:2 risk/reward and know that even a 40% win rate with solid risk/reward leads to profitability."
[66:20] "Detach yourself from the money and focus on the process; true trading success comes only once you can disassociate emotionally from wins and losses, which takes years of experience."
[67:17] "There’s no way to fast track the process of getting comfortable with higher capital or detaching from money; experience and making your own mistakes is essential."
