  • 120: Caitlin Clark is the NVDA of the WNBA
    Jun 24 2024

    Caitlin Clark is the NVDA of the WNBA and Cathie Wood is Team USA.

    In today's episode, we'll go over some similarities between these two powerhouses who both have strong momentum and putting up staggering numbers in their respective domains.

    But the decision to leave Clark off Team USA for the 2022 Summer Olympics is like cutting your winners short leaving millions of dollars on the table.

  • 119: Choosing Your Profits and Losses
    Jun 14 2024

    When researching a new trading strategy, its important to not only look at things like total profit and win rate, but its just as important to look at the P/L curve of the strategy to determine if its something you'll actually be able to trade.

    In this episode, we'll discuss some of the nuances that the P/L curve can give you as opposed to just profits, wins, and losses.

    Here's the link to System #3 mentioned in the episode to get some context around the P/L curve that was discussed:

  • 114: What is Options Net Flow?
    Apr 15 2024

    In this episode, I'll briefly explain what options net flow is. In short, many of the options flow providers now offer some version of options net flow which is a graphical way to gauge the options sentiment of a stock or index. I find this mush more useful and applicable compare to the traditional overwhelm of a grid based data feed.
