In another great solocast, your host Rob Booker sorts through the listener mailbag and gets a nice e-mail from David Pullen, from Melbourne, Australia. David writes to tell us that Rob put him in the doghouse with his significant other… This e-mail prompts Rob to consider hosting his 2014 trading contest down under — in Australia!

Next Rob hears from Derek King, a bicyclist from the UK countryside, who says a recent episode of The Traders Podcast helped encourage him to get proactive about putting his trading manual into writing. This inspires the heart of this episode, where Rob talks about the significance of writing something down that you want and then seeing that vision come to fruition later on in your life, often in unexpected ways.

Next Rob reads a great e-mail from Jessica (aka Rogue Traderette on Twitter), who responds to Rob’s episode about burnout. Jessica’s e-mail is quite inspiring, actually — a must-hear letter. And finally, Cole sends an encouraging poem about something that we should all probably do a lot more of… If you’re a trader, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

Returning again after their Cigar Shop debut in Episode 179, Shonn Campbell and Matt LaCoco host The Traders Podcast again to talk about the magical potion of probability and to what extent trading is, in fact, gambling. Matt and Shonn discuss how traders are just in denial about being gamblers, asserting that traders aren’t much different from professional poker players or card counters who use statistics to make their money. Shonn and Matt suggest that trading is merely card counting — with candles! They also talk about “the gut feeling” and how it’s essentially the intuition of probability.

So, in Episode 196, the Cigar Shop guys will answer the questions: Is there a way to count cards in trading? And is there a way to gamble for a living? You definitely don’t want to miss this one! Thanks for listening to The Traders Podcast.

In another intimate solocast, your host Rob Booker gives some candid thoughts about the phenomenon of “burnout.” Rob defines it and describes how burnout affects traders, including himself. Rob talks about the 12 phases of burnout, and how it begins with a compulsion to prove yourself, which leads to the neglect of important things, like your own needs, your health or your children.

Rob also discusses the displacement of conflicts and how denial of your problems leads to withdrawing from the people in your life. And because this phenomenon affects traders in such a way that can lead to significant losses, Rob describes how to recognize the stages of burnout and offers a few steps to help you deal with it.

Episode 193 is probably The Traders Podcast show you’ve been waiting for… After some brief discussion about the 2014 reality trading contest and Trader Interviews.com, your host Rob Booker talks about the U.S. Government Shutdown and its ramifications. Rob talks about what will happen to the stock market and the U.S. dollar if the government defaults on the national debt. Rob answers whether you should take all your money out of the stock market.

And even though he endeavors to provide a voice of reason in this time of great uncertainty, Rob gives some bleak predictions about the future, as well as some speculative trading advice that could yield a potentially epic seven-year buying opportunity! (Rob even describes specifically what he’d be willing to do with this buying opportunity.) Rob also reveals his grim concerns and predictions for the next 20 years, including what he thinks will be the next major crisis that will cause widespread panic. Listen to this episode and hear Rob’s take on all this madness!

For Episode 192 of The Traders Podcast, your host Rob Booker catches up with market strategist Neal Gilbert, author of “Braving the Rapids.” Rob asks Neal if he has strong opinions about gold (as well as other markets). Rob and Neal also talk about deep inter-market analysis and whether it’s necessary for understanding one’s market of choice.

Rob asks Neal how many screens he has open at any given time and asks what he watches for and why. They talk about patterns and Neal defines “the three-drive pattern.” This leads Rob and Neal into discussing somewhat obscure methods for predicting where the market is going, such as Murrey Math and moon-phase trading!

And finally Rob asks Neal what to do if a trader pulls up one time-frame chart and then starts scanning other time-frame charts only to second-guess the initial plan. Be sure to tune in. We think you’re going to enjoy this episode with our friend, Neal Gilbert. Thanks for listening!

In Episode 191, your host Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles begin by discussing the excellent new movie “Gravity.” Rob and Jason also read an e-mail from David, who wrote to give us a suggestion of a place from which we can broadcast our live meet-up of The Traders Podcast, Episode 200! Next Rob talks about the human tendency of wanting to know the end from the beginning, which moves into a conversation about how things often turn out well (albeit surprisingly) when we don’t have our course completely charted ahead of us.

Rob also talks about how traders want their trading system to be their “fixed point,” but in reality, traders themselves are their own fixed points. And finally, we wrap up by inviting the female listeners of the podcast to make their voices heard. Call and leave us a voice mail: (801) 382-8789. Thanks for listening.
