Episode 189 begins with a little movie talk about “Don Jon” and “Rush.” This leads to a brief conversation about walking out of movies, which segues into a discussion about having the courage to admit when our trading isn’t going according to plan. Your host Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles also talk about other topics, such as entering orders incorrectly, Rob’s travels in Mexico, his acquisition of Trader Interviews.com, and even more updates on the 2014 trading competition. During this show, Rob also explains more about how he’s going to choose his participants, so don’t miss it!

Remember Episode 145 — The Guy Who Lived Out of a Van and Traded? That fascinating guest was Ryan from Knoxville, Tennessee. Well, in Episode 188, your host Rob Booker catches up with Ryan to find out about his latest adventures in trading.

So, in this episode, Ryan talks about his experiences with automating a trading system and the way people react when news is released about the market. Ryan also talks about using a computer to simplify the process of putting trades on, but not necessarily for taking the trades… Rob discusses Ryan’s primary objective of reducing risk. And Rob and Ryan talk about Nadex and binary options. Leave us a comment below! Thanks for listening.

If you heard our previous episode, then you’ll know that our friend Pablo proposed a Traders Reality Show Contest, and your host Rob Booker agreed to go forward with such an event. Well, Episode 187 is primarily about the feedback that we got from listeners who have expressed their interest in participating, as well as Rob describing more details and rules for the contest. We talk about e-mails from Domas, Spencer, Serge, Neil, Lynn, Scott, Wayne and more from Pablo, the man who proposed the idea. And Rob wraps up the show with a very fascinating (non contest-related) e-mail from Master Nikhil Nair… Don’t miss it!

Here is another interesting episode of The Traders Podcast — once again — thanks to our listeners… Your host Rob Booker and the producer Jason Pyles begin the show by addressing a Spanish listener’s concerns that we did not show the proper love and respect for Spain in Episode 185. So, Rob expresses his feelings about Spain, and for the first time in Traders Podcast history, Jason has his wife, Natalie Pyles, say a few words. Next we got an e-mail from Steve, who’s asking for some clarification about when the London market opens, exactly… To get some additional insight on this question, Rob calls his friend Boris Schlossberg’s personal cell phone (while on the air) to get the answer.

We also received an e-mail from Bill, who wrote in with some results from his “Coin Toss EA.” And next we get a suggestion from Pablo, who asks if Rob would devise “The Turtle Trader Experiment” by assembling a team of turtle traders to be trained by Rob’s expert trader friends and then watch the students trade for a living with their own money. (You already know what Rob’s answer will be…) And finally, Dave writes in to the show to ask Rob to explain ETFs. Dave also asks whether Jennifer ever finished automating her trading system. Thanks for listening!

Episode 184 of The Traders Podcast will probably go down in the archives as one of our most provocative shows since Greg K. told us he could divine the future back in Episode 128. This episode explores what may be one of the simplest, yet craziest trading “systems” around… Your host Rob Booker catches up with his old friend Chris Mystic, a veteran of the currency market who decided to start trading randomly and entered a contest against other traders!

The premise: Chris works for Traders Laboratory, and in an attempt to keep the subscribers entertained, he decided to conduct an experiment for one month: At the New York open, he’d flip a coin and if it was heads, he’d go long on the Euro dollar, and if it was tails, he would go short on the Euro dollar. He’d flip the coin 30 minutes before actually taking the trade. And he set some rules, such as it would be a 1:1 risk-to-reward, and 20 pips take profit, 20 pips stop-loss, and if the trade hasn’t closed by 5 p.m., then he’d close it manually. And as mentioned above, Chris entered this random trading account into a trading contest with some intriguing results!

So, as you might expect from your intrepid host, Rob tries to make sense of this madness and discusses how to turn it into an actual trading system. Naturally. Why wouldn’t we? Thanks for listening.

In Episode 183, your host Rob Booker talks with Tim Hollingsworth, a motorcyclist from Australia who’s been a trader since 2001. Tim says you don’t have to know what’s going to happen in the market, in order to make money. Rob and Tim spend some time drawing parallels between motorcycling and trading and also the real estate business and trading. In this show you’ll hear Tim talk about the reasons why he tries to avoid speaking to people about trading. And you’ll also hear Tim offer a provocative opinion about how he thinks trading is gambling. You won’t want to miss this one! Thanks for listening.

Your host Rob Booker wasn’t able to record Episode 182, so Jason the producer gets to chat with “The Coach” — Scott Welsh, co-creator of the Bossilator course and a peak-performance instructor who resides in Columbus, Ohio. Scott and Jason begin by talking about Sin City — Las Vegas, Nevada — and why they’re so fond of it. This leads to a conversation about trading conferences in Vegas. And then Scott and Jason get around to the matter at hand: automated trading.

Jason asks Scott how he can make a living from a strategy that only produces 12 to 13 traders per year. Scott also talks about the challenge of resisting the temptation to interfere with your automated system, which leads to a discussion about discipline and trading psychology. Jason asks Scott who can benefit from automated trading, and they talk about finding an automated trading system (and a programmer) that’s right for you. Listen and subscribe!

In Episode 181 of The Traders Podcast, your host Rob Booker chats with one of Jason’s favorite podcasting friends, Mr. Willis Wheeler. Willis is a big-time podcaster who’s a co-host on many different shows. He hails from the D.C. area and loves professional wrestling, movies, comic books, superheroes and he probably has one of the most unique voices in podcasting! (Yes, that’s his real voice.)

Naturally, Rob turns Willis’s interests into an episode about trading. Rob talks to Willis about collecting and the concept of getting something before anybody knows it’s special and holding onto it long enough for it to become valuable. This, of course, has metaphorical parallels with position trading.

Enjoy the show, and if you love Willis’s voice as much as everybody else does, check him out on his other podcasts below! Thanks for listening.
