DELUSIONAL TRADER

EP 64: LONG HAS MORE POWER

The system favours upside. This episode explores the structural asymmetry between long and short trading, showing how the financial world — from pension funds to corporate incentives — is fundamentally built to support rising prices. By understanding this bias, traders learn why longs often feel smoother and more forgiving, while shorts demand sharper timing, tighter risk, and deeper awareness.

EP 63: 7‑6‑5‑4‑3‑2‑1: ACTION OR RETREAT

Hesitation kills execution. This episode introduces a simple but powerful execution protocol: a seven‑second countdown that forces clarity, eliminates hesitation, and ensures every decision is either clean action or disciplined retreat. By removing psychological negotiation and anchoring execution to structure rather than emotion, traders gain consistency, speed, and confidence — even in the presence of fear.

EP 62: F#CKWIT AWARDS

Stop trying to be clever. This episode dismantles the ego‑driven urge traders have to predict reversals and call turning points. Instead of fighting momentum like an idiot trying to push a bus uphill, it shows why the only rational approach is to follow the direction of strength and stop trying to outsmart the market. Momentum doesn’t care about your predictions — and the sooner you accept that, the sooner you stop nominating yourself for the F#ckwit Awards.

EP 61: THE FUTILITY OF STOP REMOVAL

Avoiding pain creates more pain. This episode exposes the psychological trap behind stop removal, showing how the refusal to accept a small, controlled business cost destroys clarity, blocks future opportunities, and traps traders in cycles of fear. Through a precise FTSE example, it demonstrates how emotional avoidance masquerades as logic — and why acceptance of uncertainty is the foundation of disciplined, profitable trading.

EP 60: SMELL THE PANIC

A sharp, atmospheric breakdown of why traders can sense a quiet structural panic inside a monetary system inflated far beyond historical precedent. This episode explores the fragility created by two decades of unprecedented monetary expansion, record government debt, and asset inflation. It explains why policymakers are trapped between two bad choices, why the system has no gentle off‑ramp, and how traders can navigate a world where the next gust of wind — recession, credit event, geopolitical shock — forces a decision no central bank wants to make.
