In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with BOFOMOMO to discuss small-cap trading, scalping, risk management, adaptation, and what happens when a trading edge stops working.
Bo first discovered the market during the COVID era after seeing how much volatility could exist in individual stocks. From there, he became obsessed with day trading, joined online trading communities, studied low-float small caps, and eventually developed a fast, order-flow-driven style built around precision, tape reading, and cutting losses quickly.
But this episode is not just about scalping. It is about evolution.
Bo explains why the small-cap market became more difficult, how old micro-timeframe setups stopped paying the same way, and why he had to adapt by expanding beyond long-side scalps into a more balanced, two-sided approach. He also discusses the role of broker selection, locates, short-side patience, slippage, algos, and why his short-side development has actually improved his long-side trading.
This conversation also goes deeper into the psychology of trading: stubbornness, giving back gains, hot-streak complacency, mental health, community, mentorship, and the importance of staying in the game when the market gets cold.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony Nieto sits down with Jack Schwager, legendary author of the Market Wizards series, and George Coyle, co-author of Market Wizards: The Next Generation.
The new book continues one of the most important traditions in trading literature: in-depth interviews with exceptional traders who achieved extraordinary results through unique methods, relentless work, strict risk control, and the ability to adapt as markets change.
Jack and George discuss how this new installment came together, what makes this generation of Market Wizards different, and why many elite traders first went through major failures, blowups, and painful learning curves before reaching extraordinary success.
They also explore small-cap short selling, option selling, negative asymmetry, adaptability, trader psychology, journaling, playbooks, and the hard work required to compete at the highest level.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Zander Odom, a young trader who skipped college to pursue trading full-time—and built a systematic edge through backtesting, risk management, and relentless self-improvement. Zander shares how he first discovered trading at 13, why small caps became his focus, and how he moved from random chart-based decisions to a structured playbook built around defined entries, exits, risk, and backtested samples. Zander discusses the snowboarding accident that left him paralyzed, how he rebuilt his trading setup with adaptive hardware and voice tools, and why trading became a blessing that allowed him to continue pursuing his purpose.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with legendary penny stock trader and educator Timothy Sykes.
Tim shares how he turned $12,000 of bar mitzvah money into over $1 million, what he learned after more than 25 years in the markets, and why his most important rule is still simple: cut losses quickly.
This conversation goes far beyond trading profits. Tim discusses the importance of journaling, studying historical patterns, surviving big losses, trading conservatively, learning from millionaire students, and why giving back through charity has become one of the most meaningful parts of his journey.
Whether you're a new trader, a struggling trader, or someone trying to build long-term consistency, this episode is packed with hard-earned lessons from one of the most recognizable names in retail trading.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Marcelo Estrada, a hyper-scalper who built his edge the hard way — by blowing his first account, abandoning traditional indicators, and developing a system rooted in consistency, risk management, and execution.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony speaks with David Veprek, CFA about the highs and lows of his multi-million dollar trading career spanning more than two decades.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Alex Temiz, co-founder of My Investing Club (MIC), to discuss how he went from being a Starbucks barista funding a tiny account to building over $16 million in verified trading profits—primarily shorting small-cap momentum and failed breakouts. Alex explains the evolution of his edge: why "buy the breakout" didn't work for him, how he learned to identify repeatable patterns, and why the real separator isn't a secret setup—it's process, stock selection, and knowing when to size up. Alex shares some of the most practical risk frameworks in the small-cap world: the Zombie Rule (why he stops trading after 10:30), his 30% VWAP rule, why "fixing your average" is a trap, and how broker-level max loss settings can act as your risk manager when emotions take over. This episode places focus on discipline, data, and knowing which battles are worth fighting.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Peter Robbins, author of The Trader's Journey: Navigating the Path to Trading Success, for a practical, honest conversation about what you need to know about success in trading.
Peter shares top lessons from over 40 years of trading experience. He explains why most traders begin with almost no understanding of risk, why the first question should be "Why are you trading—and should you be trading?", and how a gap in mentorship quietly derails even smart, hardworking people.
They dig into the foundations that matter: realistic expectations, aligning your trading style with your real life, adapting to changing market regimes, and the uncomfortable truth that psychology—execution under pressure—is often the real edge.
If you're tired of vague motivation and want a clear framework for building a sustainable trading career, this episode will help set your standards—and give you a blueprint you can revisit as you grow.
In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Nick Kasnett (NKaz) to review his incredible account growth for 2025 — over 600% – not as a flex, but as a case study in consistency, journaling, and risk.
Nick explains why he came into 2025 with no big expectations, how he finally broke long-standing patterns of big, avoidable losses, and why this year felt different: fewer home runs, more singles and doubles, and an obsessive focus on small losses, price action, and letting go of bias.
Nick then lays out the lessons he's taking into 2026 AND shares direct advice for traders who had a career year and for those who had a disastrous 2025 and are trying to rebuild.
