Second Level Thinking Mar 24, 2025 00:40:32 We introduce to you Episode 16 - Second Level Thinking.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect Dec 6, 2024 00:57:58 “Peak of Mount Stupid”. At some point of our lives, we’ve all been there. Or will be.

Psychology of Trading Feb 19, 2024 00:44:00 From tracking your sleep, fasting, exercising, starting your day with appropriate music, Mr. Stoykov tells us why these little habits can stack up together and make a difference in our lives. You cannot have a sustainable trading (or any) career if you go against your body and soul. A brain surgeon shouldn't get drunk the night before a surgery, so why should a trader do that? Food for thought

Gross Elements Oct 19, 2023 00:32:21 "I never lose if I have a good excel spreadsheet" - N. Stoykov We might not like it, but a lot of things boil down to simple statistics.

Become An Adult First, Then A Trader Aug 22, 2023 00:39:36 What number comes after 5-10-20? If you answered 40, that's a fair presumption, but in reality there's 0% chance of that being the case.

Subtracting Jun 21, 2023 00:38:20 We're surrounded by motivational speakers who highlight the importance of adding healthy habits in our lives. In this episode, Mr. Stoykov tells us why it's just as important to SUBTRACT unhealthy habits from our every day life.

How to Party Like a Rockstar in NYC Nov 21, 2022 00:55:03 What is the party scene in Manhattan like? Is money enough to get your foot through the door? While we can all agree that The Wolf of Wall Street is a pretty iconic movie, Mr. Stoykov is here to tell us about the aspects which were both overstated and understated.

Deep Knowledge Oct 18, 2022 00:39:07 How can we possibly be certain about things we don't have deep knowledge of? Preference of illusion over reality is a mistake many of us repeat on a daily basis.

Mr. Stoykov is here to tell us all about it.
