014: Ilan Azbel – Below the Surface of Algorithmic Trading, and Why You Must Understand the Game From a Macro Perspective
With an involvement in trading since his early twenties, and a background in mathematics and computer programming, it was a natural progression that this weeks guest would adapt a completely algorithmic trading approach. My friends, I would like you to meet Ilan Azbel. Ilan joins us to discuss algorithmic trading, and share some insights on a side of trading that is unfamiliar territory to many, especially in the retail space. While we spoke for close to an hour, in the scheme of things, we only just managed to scratch the surface. But all in all, I think you'll find this really interesting and enough to get you curious (and maybe even excited) about the possibilities of algorithmic trading. Learn more about your ad choices.

013: Lance Beggs – Adapting the Mindset of Trapped Market Participants—and Profiting From Fear
Let me introduce you to, Lance Beggs - a price action trader that is a little different to most... While he relies on technicals to a certain degree, his edge comes from the ability to adapt the mindset of other participants and gauge entries based on their fear. Lance refers to this as the metagame, which he breaks down in much greater detail during the interview. Lance also goes into how he controls tight stops, and uses an aggressive risk management strategy to trade without fear. Plus, this segment includes some great tips on how to nail the re-entry, that many traders struggle with, mainly due to psychology reasons.
