Success in trading comes not from a single moment of genius, but from the consistent repetition of good decisions. Many traders fail because they lack consistency, letting the Emotional Self hijack their strategy with fear, greed, FOMO, or revenge trading.
This episode flips the script, providing an actionable roadmap on how to build good trading habits for beginners—transforming chaotic gambling into a disciplined business.
We break down the science of the Habit Loop (Cue, Routine, Reward) and show you how to identify negative triggers (like a losing trade) and consciously replace destructive routines (like revenge trading) with positive, repeatable actions.

George Soros—the billionaire, philanthropist, and "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England." Soros's career is defined by sharp analysis and bold execution.
His unique philosophy, called Reflexivity, is the core of his success. It argues that in markets, perception and reality create self-reinforcing loops (investor belief drives prices, which in turn changes fundamentals). Soros saw markets not as efficient, but as emotional and fragile systems prone to dangerous spirals.
This thinking led to his legendary 1992 trade. Seeing the British Pound as fundamentally overvalued, Soros shorted the currency with billions. The resulting crisis, known as Black Wednesday, earned Soros over $1 billion in a single trade.
His key lessons for traders: have deep conviction, master timing, and always manage risk ("It’s not whether you’re right or wrong, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong").
Remember the Brexit vote or the 2020 COVID crash? These "memorable news" events create pure chaos and massive volatility. For many, it's a gamble; for a few, it's a huge opportunity. This episode explores how to trade these "Black Swan" events.
The lure is obvious: the potential for huge profits in minutes. But most traders get burned trying to catch the initial spike.
Professionals use a "reaction strategy." They wait for the chaos to pass. We cover two main professional strategies:
Trading the New, Confirmed Trend: Waiting for the dust to settle and catching the "second wave."
Fading the Move: A contrarian bet that the initial spike was a complete overreaction.
Learn how to trade the consequences of the news, not the initial explosion.

William D. Gann
W.D. Gann was a legendary trader who claimed to forecast markets decades in advance using geometry, mathematics, and astrology. This episode, "Forecasting with Gann: The Geometry of Markets," explores his belief that markets, like nature, move according to hidden mathematical laws and rhythms.
He developed tools still used today, including Gann angles (measuring time/price balance), time cycles (repeating market intervals), and the "law of vibration."
In an era without computers, his methods were controversial. Yet, in a famous 1909 test monitored by Ticker magazine, Gann reportedly made 286 trades with over 90% accuracy. This episode explores the man who saw structure in chaos and whose greatest lesson remains discipline, pattern recognition, and finding structure in uncertainty.

Why Traders Only See What They Want
Ever believe a trade is perfect, only to ignore all the obvious warning signs? That's Confirmation Bias, a dangerous psychological trap where your brain actively hunts for information that confirms your beliefs and filters out anything that contradicts them. Why? To protect your ego. This summary dives into the core drivers, like "Cognitive Dissonance"—the mental pain of being wrong—and the "Sunk Cost" of your research. Learn to spot the symptoms: from "cherry-picking" the one indicator that agrees with you to building a social media "echo chamber" that reinforces your flawed view. This is the truth about why traders only see what they want.

Ed Seykota: The Father of Computerized Trading
Ed Seykota is a pioneering trader, widely regarded as the father of computerized trading systems. His career, which began in the late 1960s, revolutionized the industry by blending technology, psychology, and disciplined trend-following long before algorithmic trading became mainstream.
Starting his career at a brokerage firm, Seykota gained access to early mainframe computers. Instead of relying on gut instinct like his peers, he began programming and testing trading rules based on historical data. Though initially met with skepticism, his systematic approach yielded extraordinary results, famously turning one client's account into a legendary 250,000% gain over 16 years.
His core philosophy is famously summarized by the phrase, "The trend is your friend." Key elements of his strategy include:
Trend Following: Identifying and riding market trends with discipline.Strict Risk Management: A relentless focus on cutting losses quickly while letting profits run.Trader Psychology: He believed that a trader's subconscious beliefs ultimately determine their success or failure, famously stating, "Everybody gets what they want out of the market."
Seykota's success is attributed to his unique ability to combine technology with simplicity and a deep understanding of human psychology. While others fought the market, he flowed with it. His legacy is not just his contribution to systematic trading, but also the timeless lesson that mastering oneself is as important as mastering the markets.
📌 Whether you're a discretionary trader or building your first system, this episode will challenge how you think, trade, and manage risk.

Have you ever felt like your analysis was so good, your next trade had to win?
That feeling—of being in control of the market—is exactly where things start to go wrong. In this episode, we uncover one of the most deceptive psychological traps in trading: the Illusion of Control — the false belief that your charts, strategies, or timing can dictate market outcomes.
We dive deep into the hidden symptoms that affect both beginners and seasoned pros:
Overtrading after a win, mistaking luck for skill.
Widening stop-losses, convinced the market will “come back.”
Overconfidence driven by pattern recognition and technical tools that feel more powerful than they are.
You’ll learn how this bias quietly creeps into your process through:
Pattern seeking in random noise
Overreliance on indicators
Emotional highs that sabotage discipline
Then, we explore the science. Research shows that traders who score higher on illusion-of-control tests consistently perform worse — with poorer risk management, lower returns, and bigger losses.
📌 Most importantly, we equip you with a clear set of tools to overcome it:
How to build rule-based systems that strip emotion out of decisions
Why journaling your trades and emotions is your secret weapon
How to stay grounded through risk management and mentorship
Why controlling yourself is the only real control you’ll ever have in the markets
This episode will change the way you think about your edge—not as prediction, but as preparation.

What if your biggest edge in trading isn’t a strategy… but your state of mind?
In this episode, we explore the powerful story of Carmine Rosato, a trader who found success not by mastering the market, but by mastering himself. After suffering heavy losses early in his career due to emotional decisions and overtrading, Rosato came to a life-changing realization: the market wasn’t the enemy—his mindset was.
We dive deep into Rosato’s journey and philosophy of "Mental Clarity." You'll learn:
Why emotional control is more important than any technical setup.
How routines like meditation, journaling, and stepping away at the right time created long-term consistency.
Why he believes the best trade is sometimes no trade at all.
This episode breaks down his unique approach to risk, simplicity, and discipline—and why a calm mind can outlast any market storm. If you're tired of letting stress and impulsive decisions wreck your trades, this story will challenge you to think differently.
📌 Learn how to build a process-focused, mentally strong trading routine—one that brings not just profit, but peace of mind.

Copy trading sounds like the ultimate hack for beginners: find a pro, copy their trades, and watch your account grow. But is it really that simple? Or are we outsourcing more than just our trades—like our judgment, our discipline, and our long-term potential?
In this episode, we break down the double-edged sword of copy trading and social media-driven strategies. First, we explore why so many traders are drawn to these tools—from the appeal of learning while earning to the convenience of accessing expert strategies without years of study.
Then, we flip the coin and expose the hidden risks. You’ll learn:
Why copying trades can stunt your growth as a trader.
How social media creates a distorted picture of success (and hides the real dangers).
The silent threat of risk misalignment—and how it can quietly blow up your account.
Most importantly, we show you how to use copy trading the right way—as a tool, not a crutch. You’ll discover how to turn these platforms into a bridge, not a trap, in your trading journey.
🎧 Whether you're new to trading or looking to refine your edge, this episode will help you rethink how you approach guidance, risk, and responsibility in the digital age.

Jim Simons:
Jim Simons is a legendary mathematician and the founder of Renaissance Technologies, the hedge fund that revolutionized investing with a purely quantitative, data-driven approach. A former Cold War codebreaker and university professor, Simons applied his expertise in pattern recognition to financial markets, believing they contained hidden, predictable signals.
His strategy was to trade entirely with mathematical models, completely removing human emotion and intuition. His firm, famously staffed by mathematicians and scientists instead of Wall Street traders, used complex algorithms and early forms of machine learning to identify and exploit minute statistical anomalies in massive amounts of historical market data.
The results of this approach were historic. Renaissance's flagship Medallion Fund generated average annual returns of over 66% before fees (around 39% after fees) for more than 30 years, making it the most successful hedge fund in history.
Simons's success stemmed from trusting data over opinions, eliminating emotional decision-making, and fostering a scientific culture of constant refinement. His legacy is his definitive proof that a systematic, data-centric process can consistently outperform human judgment in the markets, fundamentally changing the landscape of modern finance.

The Argument for "Quality": The Patient Sniper Approach
The core idea behind a quality-focused approach is discipline and precision. Proponents argue that a trader's mental and financial capital are finite resources that shouldn't be wasted on suboptimal setups.
Focus on A+ Setups: A "quality" trade isn't just a "good" trade; it's an A+ setup that aligns perfectly with every criterion in your trading plan. By being highly selective, you engage the market only when the odds are significantly in your favor, increasing the probability of success for each trade you take.
Reduced Emotional Strain: Fewer trades mean less stress and a lower risk of decision fatigue. Constant market monitoring and execution can lead to burnout and emotional errors. A Quality Over Quantity Trading mindset promotes a calmer, more objective state of mind.
Lower Transaction Costs: Every trade incurs costs, whether through spreads or commissions. These costs add up and eat into your profits. By trading less frequently, you naturally minimize these expenses, which can have a substantial positive impact on your bottom line over the long term.
The Argument for "Quantity": The Statistical Approach
Now, let's look at the other side. For certain strategies, particularly short-term ones like scalping, quantity is essential. This approach is not about reckless trading; it's about systematically exploiting a small, consistent edge.
The Law of Large Numbers: If a strategy has a statistical edge (e.g., a 60% win rate), that edge only becomes apparent over a large number of trades. A scalper's goal is to execute their A+ setup many times, allowing their probabilistic advantage to play out. Waiting for a single "perfect" trade per day would negate the strategy's core design.
Capturing More Opportunities: Markets are in constant flux, presenting numerous small opportunities. A quantity-based approach is designed to capture these frequent, smaller moves, rather than waiting for one large, infrequent one.
Skill Acceleration: Executing more trades provides more immediate feedback and practice, potentially accelerating the development of specific skills like rapid execution and reading short-term price action.
Conclusion: The Answer Lies in Your Strategy
So, is one high-quality trade better than many?
The answer is: it depends entirely on your trading strategy and personality.
A swing trader who aims for large moves over days or weeks would be foolish to trade 30 times a day. Conversely, a scalper who trades only once a day is not effectively deploying their strategy. The frequency of your trading must be aligned with the methodology you've chosen.
Ultimately, the philosophy of "Quality Over Quantity Trading" isn't about a specific number. It’s about ensuring that every single trade you take, whether it's one per week or 50 per day, is a high-quality setup that adheres strictly to your plan. The goal is to eliminate random, impulsive, and low-probability trades. On the IUX platform, you have the tools to execute any strategy you choose, but the discipline to ensure every trade is a quality one comes from within.

Joe Lewis: The Silent Empire Builder
Introduction : Joe Lewis is a British billionaire businessman and investor, renowned as the founder of the Tavistock Group, a private investment organization with a vast and diverse global portfolio. Unlike many high-profile investors, Lewis is known for his extreme privacy and a long-term, strategic approach to building his financial empire.
Background and Rise to Prominence : Born in the East End of London in 1937, Joe Lewis had humble beginnings, leaving school at 15 to work in his family's catering business. He successfully expanded this into a hospitality empire, which he later sold for a significant profit. Lewis then pivoted into full-time currency speculation. His most famous and career-defining trade occurred in 1992 on "Black Wednesday," when he joined George Soros in successfully shorting the British pound. This single move earned him hundreds of millions of dollars and cemented his reputation as a formidable force in global finance.
Core Philosophy and Investment Strategy Lewis's strategy shifted from short-term trading to long-term empire-building through the Tavistock Group. His core principles include:
Opportunistic Patience: He avoids chasing trends, preferring to wait patiently for market imbalances where he can make large, conviction-driven investments.
Long-Term Vision: He thinks in terms of decades, not days. His goal is to build sustainable "ecosystems"—like the 17-square-mile smart city of Lake Nona in Florida—rather than simply flipping assets.
Diversification and People-First Investing: The Tavistock Group holds over 200 assets across real estate, sports (including the Tottenham Hotspur football club), biotech, and energy. He places a strong emphasis on backing talented founders and leadership teams.
Discretion and Privacy: Lewis rarely gives interviews and operates away from the public spotlight, letting his results speak for themselves.
Success and Legacy The result of his disciplined approach is the Tavistock Group, one of the world's most successful private investment firms, with an estimated net worth for Lewis in the billions. His legacy is not just about wealth, but about the power of quiet, strategic, and patient empire-building.
Key Lessons from Joe Lewis:
Patience Over Prediction: Wait for the right opportunity rather than trying to predict every market move.
Privacy Over Publicity: True power and focus do not require public attention.

In this episode of the IUX podcast, we confront one of the most destructive forces in a trader's journey: the revenge trade. Every trader knows the sting of a significant loss—the anger, the frustration, and the powerful impulse that screams, "I have to win it back! Now!" In this special deep-dive, we go beyond the simple "don't do it" to ask a more provocative question: Is this powerful urge to 'get even' with the market ever justified?
We begin by exploring the deep-seated psychological drivers that make this impulse feel so compelling and "right" in the moment. Discover how cognitive biases like Loss Aversion, where the pain of losing is twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining; the need to protect one's Ego and be proven right; and the Gambler's Fallacy, which tricks us into believing we're "due for a win," combine to create an almost irresistible urge.
However, we then turn to the brutal reality, breaking down why acting on this urge is financial suicide. Learn how revenge trading forces you to abandon your strategic plan, engage in catastrophic risk management by oversizing positions and removing stop-losses, and how it can trigger a devastating downward spiral capable of wiping out an entire account in a frighteningly short amount of time.
But understanding the problem is only half the battle. The core of this episode is dedicated to providing a practical framework for how to control emotions in trading. We provide an actionable antidote to revenge trading, including the critical 'walk away' rule to act as an emotional circuit breaker, the power of conducting a logical post-mortem analysis of your losing trade, strategies for rebuilding confidence by reducing position size, and the fundamental importance of journaling your emotions to gain crucial self-awareness.
Join us as we dissect this critical aspect of trading psychology. This episode is essential listening for any trader who has ever felt the pain of a loss and wants to build the mental resilience necessary for long-term success in the markets.

Steven Cohen: The Hedge Fund King
Introduction
Steven Cohen is a legendary American hedge fund manager, investor, and the founder of Point72 Asset Management. Often referred to as "the hedge fund king," he is renowned for his exceptional and consistent investment returns, his resilience in the face of adversity, and for building one of the industry's most sophisticated and data-driven trading platforms.
Background and Rise to Prominence
Born in 1956, Cohen developed an early aptitude for risk-taking through poker. After graduating from the Wharton School, he began his career as a junior options trader where he found immediate success. In 1992, he founded SAC Capital Advisors, which became one of the most successful hedge funds of its time, reportedly generating average annual returns of over 30% for two decades. After facing significant legal challenges that led to the closure of SAC, Cohen demonstrated remarkable resilience by restructuring his operations and launching Point72 Asset Management.
Core Philosophy and Strategy
Cohen’s strategy is a powerful fusion of human talent, data, and psychological discipline. Key elements include:
Edge-Based Capital Allocation: He is known for aggressively allocating capital to traders who demonstrate a clear, data-supported advantage or "edge."
Multi-Manager Platform: Point72 operates on a decentralized model where numerous portfolio managers trade semi-independently, allowing for diverse alpha generation under Cohen's strategic oversight.
Pioneering Use of Data: From early on, Cohen utilized alternative data sources long before they were mainstream. Point72 continues this legacy by heavily investing in AI, machine learning, and data science.
Psychological Mastery: He places immense importance on the mental aspect of trading, emphasizing self-awareness, emotional discipline, and even mindfulness practices to enhance performance.
Success and Legacy
Under his leadership, Point72 has grown into a firm managing over $30 billion, consistently outperforming industry benchmarks. He also established the Point72 Academy, a highly respected program for developing the next generation of elite trading talent. His legacy is not just his personal wealth or ownership of the New York Mets, but the creation of a modern hedge fund model that successfully blends human judgment with advanced technology.
Key Lessons from Steven Cohen:
Build a Repeatable Edge: Success should come from a structured process, not a lucky streak.
Adapt or Die: Markets are constantly evolving, and traders must adapt with them.

EP.17 - Why We Make Our Worst Trades After a Loss
It’s a scenario every trader knows and fears: one loss triggers a downward spiral of terrible decisions. But why does this happen? Why do we abandon our well-crafted plans the moment we take a hit? The answer lies deep within our own psychology and brain chemistry.
In this episode, we dissect the anatomy of a losing streak. First, we expose the psychological traps that ensnare us, including the powerful urge for Revenge Trading, the distorting lens of Confirmation Bias, and the flawed logic of the Gambler's Fallacy. You'll understand why you start fighting the market instead of trading it.
Next, we dive into the science. We explain what happens inside your brain after a loss—how the stress hormone cortisol impairs your rational thinking, and how a drop in the reward chemical dopamine creates a craving for risk. You'll learn why you are, quite literally, not thinking straight after a bad trade.
Most importantly, we give you a concrete, four-step emergency plan to break the cycle and regain control. You will learn:
Why stepping away from the charts is the most critical first step.
How to use position sizing to rebuild your confidence.
How to turn your trading journal into a powerful diagnostic tool.
Why focusing on a perfect process—not profit—is the key to recovery.
A loss is only a lesson if you’re willing to learn from it. Join us to discover how to master your response to losing, protect your capital, and turn one of trading's greatest challenges into your greatest strength.

Michael Burry: The Man Behind "The Big Short"
Introduction Michael Burry is a physician-turned-investor and hedge fund manager who became world-famous for being one of the first individuals to foresee and profit from the 2008 U.S. housing market collapse. His story of conviction against overwhelming consensus was immortalized in the book and Academy Award-winning film, The Big Short.
Background: From Medicine to Markets Burry's path to finance was highly unconventional. He was a neurologist-in-training who developed a passion for value investing in his spare time. He started an investment blog that gained a significant following due to his deep, logical, and honest analysis. This success led him to leave the medical field and found his own hedge fund, Scion Capital, in the early 2000s, despite having no formal finance background.
The Core Strategy: "The Big Short" Burry's core belief was that markets are often wrong because they are driven by emotional human behavior. His strategy was based on obsessive, deep fundamental research, reading through thousands of pages of complex financial documents that others ignored. By 2005, he discovered that the U.S. housing market was a "time bomb" built on high-risk subprime mortgage loans that had been bundled into securities falsely rated as safe (AAA). He devised a strategy to bet against, or "short," this vulnerable market by purchasing credit default swaps (CDS) on these mortgage bonds.
The Result and Recognition Initially, Burry faced ridicule and extreme pressure from his own investors, who tried to pull their money out as the trade took time to materialize. He held his position with conviction, and when the housing market collapsed in 2007-2008, his fund made over $700 million for its investors. Burry's personal profit was over $100 million. This legendary trade made him a financial icon and became the central story of The Big Short, where he was portrayed by actor Christian Bale.
Key Reasons for Success His success is attributed to several key strengths:
Independent Thinking: He ignored consensus and trusted his own data-driven analysis.
Deep Research: He performed exhaustive due diligence that few others were willing to do.

EP.15 - The Fear of Missing Out vs. The Fear of Losing Money
In the mind of every trader, a constant battle rages on. On one shoulder, a voice screams, "Get in now or you'll miss the move of the year!" On the other, a whisper cautions, "Don't risk it, what if you lose?" This is the core conflict between FOMO and the Fear of Loss—and it's the root cause of almost every impulsive trading mistake.
In this episode, we put these two powerful emotional forces under the microscope. First, we explore FOMO, the engine of reckless chasing that makes you jump into unplanned trades, often right at the peak. Then, we dissect its opponent, the Fear of Loss, the paralyzing force that causes you to hesitate on perfect setups, exit winning trades too soon, or hold onto losers in false hope.
But this isn't just about understanding the problem. We provide you with a tangible battle plan. You'll get a complete system to manage these emotions, including actionable tools like a pre-trade checklist to enforce logic and the power of a trading journal to learn from your own psychology.
Stop letting this internal war dictate your trading results. Join us to learn how to find the balance and become a disciplined trader who acts on a plan, not on impulse.

Takashi Kotegawa (BNF): The Day Trading Legend
Introduction Takashi Kotegawa, widely known by his online handle "BNF," is a legendary Japanese day trader. He achieved global fame for turning his life savings of approximately $13,000 (¥1.6 million) into a fortune reported to be well over $100 million in about eight years through disciplined day trading.
Background Kotegawa began as an ordinary young man in Japan with no financial background or wealthy connections. He was motivated to start trading after witnessing his parents lose money during the IT bubble. With no formal training, he dedicated himself to intense self-study, analyzing market mechanics from his computer day after day.
Core Philosophy and Strategy His strategy was not based on luck but on extreme discipline and analysis. He focused on achieving small, consistent wins rather than large, risky trades. His primary technique was identifying oversold stocks by analyzing their deviation from short-term moving averages. Kotegawa's core principles were patience (waiting for the perfect setup), pattern recognition, and strict risk control.
The Legendary "J-Com Incident" His status as a legend was cemented on December 8, 2005, during the infamous "J-Com Incident." A trader at Mizuho Securities made a "fat-finger error," mistakenly putting in an order to sell 610,000 shares of a newly listed company, J-Com, for ¥1 each instead of 1 share for ¥610,000. While the market panicked, Kotegawa instantly recognized the opportunity, bought a significant number of the shares, and sold them later the same day for a profit of approximately $20 million. He further demonstrated his skill by profiting during the 2008 financial crisis.
Key Reasons for Success His extraordinary success is attributed to three main factors:
