DTS Trading Quick Tips Part 1 Jun 18, 2026 0:00:00 On the Disciplined Trading Strategies resource page, down at the bottom, I have what are called 21 Trading Quick Tips. These have slowly accumulated over recent years, with no particular schedule.I feel these have incredible value in them, even though they are mostly only one-line snippets with powerful trading lessons. So what I am doing is taking them seven at a time over the next three podcasts
What Holds All Traders Back Jun 4, 2026 0:00:00 Most podcasts are on specific individual topics. I know a lot of you have listened to many or all of them, but even if you have, it is sometimes difficult to pull the topics together in a meaningful way. So, occasionally, I like to do some podcasts that tie a few topics together.This is one of those. Is this everything that can hold a trader back? Of course not. But it's a quick, off-the-top-of-my
McDonald's Days May 14, 2026 0:00:00 This is a much bigger deal than the quiet title may be indicating to you. And I imagine the title brought about a little curiosity, and you probably have some idea what I’m going to talk about. It’s not meant to be a cute title, it is actually a term I use virtually every day. It does apply to both day trading and longer-term trading or swing trading, at least most aspects of this conversation do.
Diversification and Leverage Apr 30, 2026 0:00:00 This episode is a practical look at two topics that are not directly related, but are often misunderstood: diversification and leverage. Diversification is often misused. There are different goals when diversifying, and different methods for doing it. Leverage is also frequently misunderstood and, for the most part, is a much simpler topic. This episode will be fairly short and will focus on answe
A Common Sense Warning Apr 9, 2026 0:00:00 This episode is a brief common-sense reminder about staying aware, thinking clearly, and not getting too comfortable IF or when conditions may be changing. It is about preparation, perspective, and avoiding the kind of complacency that can quietly create bigger problems later.Sometimes the biggest risk is not what you see coming, but what you stop paying attention to. This has great information ab
A Beginner's Guide to Trading Mar 19, 2026 0:22:45 If you’re new to trading, this is where you start. Before you ever place a trade, there are a few things you must understand, from choosing the right broker and charts to learning how to read price and manage risk. In this episode, we break down the true foundation of trading, including time frames, account structure, and why education and planning come before anything else. Trading doesn’t start
The Real Purpose of Scanning Feb 26, 2026 0:12:01 If you’re new, scanning is the process of taking a large number of symbols and narrowing them down to a smaller group by identifying the characteristics you want for a possible trade setup. It applies to long-term trading, swing trading, and day trading. The main focus of this podcast is the balance and trade-off between quality and focus when scanning. There can be a real cost to watching too man
Averaging Down — The Trade That May Never End Feb 5, 2026 0:16:24 The term averaging can be confusing for newer traders. In simple terms, it means entering a stock at one price and then adding more shares later, which creates an average cost basis based on how many shares were purchased at each price. Buying at higher prices is known as averaging up, while buying at lower prices is averaging down.In this episode, we take a deeper look at the pros and cons of the
Strategies from a Cookbook Jan 15, 2026 0:16:24 Due to the holidays, it's been an extra couple of weeks since my last podcast. This one actually came as an offshoot from the last DTS educational event I did in mid-December. That event was called A Fireside Chat at DTS and highlighted some of my favorite topics from the year. One of those topics had to do with the role of strategies and the misunderstanding of that role as it comes to traders. T
FOMO in Trading - Summary of Demons Dec 4, 2025 0:17:52 This one was inspired by many questions I received. In this episode, I break down one of the biggest trading demons we all face — FOMO. I talk about how fear, impatience, and the pressure to “catch the move” can quietly push us into overtrading and stepping outside our plan. I’ll show you how these emotions connect, how they trick even experienced traders, and what I personally do to stay discipli
That Good Trade May Not Be So Good Nov 20, 2025 0:18:02 In this episode, I dive into the trap of judging trades by their results. Sometimes we get rewarded for doing something sloppy, and other times we take a clean, disciplined trade that just doesn’t work out. I talk about why a “good trade” might not be as good as it looks — and why a “bad result” might still be one of your best trades of the week. It’s a simple idea, but once you really understand
Trading Plans Follow Up Oct 31, 2025 0:14:21 Two podcasts ago, I talked about trading plans for the first time in this series. Now, it’s not because trading plans aren’t important — they’re actually critical — but they’re not always the easiest topic to break down in a podcast format.That said, I got a lot of great feedback and a few interesting questions, so in this episode I want to take a little time to follow up and dig deeper.If you hav
