Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/emmitt-smith-2/

Key moments

[01:15] The higher the barrier of entry into the markets, the easier it is to extract money from the markets.
[02:38] If you don't have at least six months of capital saved up for your life, trying to make a transition into trading will likely result in emotional trading.
[05:09] Routine is everything; waking up at the same time, trading the same pairs, and following the same setups leads to consistency.
[06:26] Sticking to a foundation and getting your routine is what brings you to a level of being able to make minor adjustments to become a better trader.
[08:27] Math doesn't lie; understanding the probabilities and executing a system consistently is key to profitability.
[10:19] If the data you're looking to optimize is skewed by emotions, you won't achieve the results you're looking for.
[12:11] Emotional trading is what catches 98% of failing traders; it's crucial to be real with oneself about trading performance.
[15:58] FOMO can be managed by sticking to a personal trading routine and avoiding distractions from social media.
[23:07] All doubt comes from a lack of confidence within your system, which can be overcome through time and data.
[30:33] Things take time, and executing the same exact strategy over and over again will lead to improvement.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/will-thefxace/

Key moments

[10:30] Find a system that suits yourself, your mentality, your time frame.
[11:36] Start small and consistently build over time. Get yourself consistent on a small scale and then scale big as you build your mindset and grow.
[12:15] The markets are a reflection of who you are when you start trading; everything that's going wrong in your trading is a reflection of everything wrong in you.
[16:02] Focus on yourself instead of focusing on everything else.
[23:20] If you're over trading, if you're getting aggressive, that's your ego. You have to pull back and look within.
[24:11] You're the block. And if you're not where you want to be, it's something inside you that's not.
[24:34] You have to be physically and mentally at your top level to be successful in trading.

303. The $1.1M Loss That Taught Me How Real Traders Think w/ Andre Stewart May 21, 2025

Andre Stewart discusses his evolution in trading, emphasizing the importance of controlling what you can and letting go of what you can't. He shares insights from experienced traders, highlighting the need to focus on pr

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

Key moments

[04:53] Control what you can control. If you can control it, change it. If you can't, F it.
[13:43] What traders miss is you have to drill your method into your head to the point to where it's second nature.
[14:09] Once you see it, you can't unsee it. If you don't see it, move on.
[17:07] You got to be borderline psycho. You got to be playing by your own rules.
[19:37] You cannot just buy low. You can't just sell high. You need more proof.
[19:57] Price moves in cycles from high to low, low to high across every time frame. The market is a time frame puzzle.
[20:24] Get over yourself. The market does not want your stop.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/casper-smc/

Key moments

[12:25] You might average a certain amount of money per month, but to say you're gonna get the same amount of money every single month… you're working backwards from the wrong target.
[15:42] If you care about something and there's a level of importance to it, when it doesn't go your way, you will be mentally impacted.
[17:19] Most people come into trading and they haven't really seen success anywhere else, so they don't even know what winning even feels or looks like.
[20:43] You change because you have to, and you can either let life recreate that for you by actually hitting rock bottom.
[23:39] Risk management is not risk aversion. You make money by putting yourself at the risk of losing money every day in this business.
[26:49] Sometimes you just know you don't know anything 100% but sometimes you just, you know, you know.
[34:05] If you think you've gone deep, you actually probably haven't gone deep enough. You've got to go way deeper if you're going to get to the point where you can like this stuff starts to make sense.
[36:54] When your attitude is shit, you're shit. If you can't get into a good state of mind, somebody who does will beat you every single time, even if their skill is lower.
[39:46] Data is everything, because our minds… People operate on numbers. People operate on actually having solid, full conviction on something.
[41:48] If you're so afraid of losing, if you're so afraid of failing a challenge or losing a trade or not being profitable this year, like, guess what? You'll never make it. You'll never make it because you're afraid.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/kadir-g/

Key moments

[08:45] Ask yourself each and every time when you're in a trade, are you fine with the outcome?
[10:36] Don't focus on the monetary side. Focus on actually being a good trader, what would a professional do, then the money will follow anyways.
[11:40] Most of the times, it's the boring things that makes you better in trading.
[12:44] If you are not aware that market cycles are changing, because they will always change… one minute candle, 300 points. That's a daily candle sometimes.
[15:25] As a professional, if you have an A++ setup, that's when you size up. But apart from that, you keep your risk steady.
[15:41] Every trade has the probability of having a loss, even if you have a 90% win rate.
[17:18] Market right now is in a range… let's adjust to one to one, because we saw that the one to one always hit.
[24:39] Do the boring stuff, and you will see a major change in your trading. No one wants to do it, but it has to be done every single day.
[25:27] Data always equals confidence. If you want to be confident in the market, you can only be confident through experience and data.

Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/jerremy-newsome-2/

Key moments

[01:33] Wealth is 2nd grade math repeated consistently.
[04:57] You're trading to make money. So, if you're not making money, you're doing something wrong.
[09:50] We have to work out the patterns of our trading.
[18:11] The whole market is just human emotion and human sentiment.
[25:02] Having more money is always going to make this particular (trading) game a lot easier.
[25:16] Find ways to grow your capital. It's okay to have a smaller account and just physically manually build it up.
[26:37] The vast majority of the world's problems will be solved when individuals have more consistency and discipline in life.
[26:45] If someone is disciplined and not only in trading but in any aspects of life, they'll be successful whatever they do.
[27:16] Study how to be a contrarian. Study thinking differently.
[31:26] If you stay consistent, you stay disciplined, that's the key to winning in life.
