Sponsored by Pepperstone Most traders swing between two extremes: trading so small it doesn’t matter… or trading so big it destroys their ability to think clearly. In this episode, we break down how to actually find the sweet spot... the size that engages you, keeps you disciplined, and doesn’t sabotage your edge. Plus, the two phases every trader must go through before scaling up.

Sponsored by: Pepperstone There are two types of traders I see stuck in the same painful cycle... and they couldn’t be more different. One’s a gunslinger: fast, aggressive, and emotional. The other’s a technician: precise, rule-based, and controlled. In this episode, I dive into what each type is missing, how to spot which one you are, and what to do to finally get your edge working. If you’re stuck, plateaued, or constantly second-guessing yourself... this one’s for you.
