  • Are Investors Underestimating China AI? Ft. Kevin Carter, EMXETFs

    This episode is sponsored by EMXETF.com

    Kevin T. Carter joins Kyle to talk about TGRZ, the China AI LLM Tigers ETF, and why China’s role in the AI trade may be much bigger than most U.S. investors realize.

    Kevin breaks down the AI market as a five-layer stack: electricity, chips, data centers, models, and applications. From there, he explains why TGRZ is focused on the model layer, where Chinese open-weight AI models like DeepSeek, Kimi K3, GLM, and Qwen are increasingly competing with U.S. models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others.

    The conversation also gets into one of the biggest surprises from the episode: how differently China and the U.S. appear to view AI adoption. Kevin points to public sentiment around AI being roughly 80% favorable in China versus about 20% in the U.S., and Kyle explores whether that difference in adoption could matter as much as the technology itself.

    They also discuss Jack Ma, Alibaba, the blocked Ant IPO, and why Kevin believes some of the risks investors associate with China are more complicated (and possibly more overblown) than the headlines suggest.

    The episode closes with a look at AI infrastructure, data centers, power demand, underwater and space-based compute, and the broader question of whether AI destroys jobs, creates new ones, or does some combination of both.

    As always, none of this is investment advice. TGRZ is speculative and volatile. Do your own research, understand the risks, and make sure any investment fits your own strategy.

  • No Country for Bad Trades: The RSI Setup

    In this episode, Kyle sits down with Cam to break down another piece of his trading system: the RSI strategy.

    Unlike Gap and Go, which is built around momentum and breakouts, this setup is a mean-reversion strategy. The idea is simple: find strong stocks that are temporarily oversold, then look for the bounce.

    Cam walks through how he uses a two-period RSI, why he looks for signals below 10, and how he exits once RSI recovers. He also explains why this works better on large-cap, institutionally supported names (especially Nasdaq 100 stocks) and why it falls apart when applied to smaller, lower-quality names.

    The conversation also covers how RSI fits into a broader portfolio of strategies alongside Gap and Go, Close/Open, and Opening Range Break. Cam explains why diversifying by strategy can create a smoother equity curve, keep capital working in different market conditions, and reduce reliance on any single setup.

    They also get into the practical side: how to size the trade, why earnings create the biggest tail risk, whether stop losses help or hurt, how options can be used to define risk, what delta and expiration ranges make sense, and why selling puts may be another way to express the same idea.

    This episode is a deeper look at building a full trading system... Not just finding one setup but stacking strategies that complement each other.

  • WEN Turnaround?

    This week we let ChatGPT help pick the news stories (which seemed like a good idea at the time), and honestly, it kind of worked.

    We start with Russia reportedly having to buy gasoline after Ukrainian drone strikes hit their refinery capacity, which turns into a bigger conversation about energy markets, gasoline and diesel, and how cheap drones are completely changing the math of modern warfare.

    Then we get into Japan potentially pushing its giant pension funds to bring more money back home, the AI trade still running through SK Hynix and GPU demand, and the Fed now treating AI infrastructure spending as one of the things keeping inflation hotter than expected.

    So there is real market stuff in here.

    But also, this is Dan and me, so we also talk about a squirrel getting loose in a Meta office, a bear breaking into a shopping mall on a military base, Britain trying to survive heat waves with better refrigerators and tiny fans, Pepsi making a very questionable Wild Cherry post in India, AI reading ancient Roman scrolls, Pompeii, Pink Floyd, and whether Wendy’s Biggie Bag is secretly one of the better recession trades on the board.

  • Big, Beautiful Christmas Coal

    Kyle and Dan start with the June Fed meeting, rate cut expectations, and the problem with central banks refusing to give clear guidance. Then the conversation jumps from Russia’s interest rates and Ukraine’s drone warfare to Waymo recalls, delivery robots ignoring police orders, and whether old cruise-control stories were actually just time travelers making bad assumptions.

    They also dig into the SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk’s supervillain status, data centers in space, AI simulations, media consolidation, Sam Bankman-Fried’s pardon request, stablecoin ID checks, and whether crypto actually has useful applications beyond speculation.

    By the end, they’re debating blockchain use cases, Bitcoin mining as a heating system, data center energy demand, coal, Santa Claus, and why Dan’s mom once ruined Christmas coal by soaking it in water. It’s might as well be an afterhours episode…

  • No Country for Bad Trades: Momentum

    In this episode, Cam and Joel go deeper into the force behind the Gap and Go strategy: momentum.

    Cam breaks down what momentum actually means in the market, why stocks can get repriced violently when institutions realize they were wrong, and how that repricing shows up through gaps, volume, and continuation. Using examples like AGL and HWM, they walk through why some stocks keep running long after most traders would have taken profits.

    The conversation also digs into the data behind momentum trading, including R multiples, maximum favorable excursion, Monte Carlo testing, and why a small percentage of trades can account for the majority of returns.

    They also cover one of the hardest questions in trading: when do you take profits, and when do you let the trade keep working?

    Later in the episode, Cam explains how he’s using AI, backtesting, and his own trade history to study momentum, refine his process, and better understand where rules end and human judgment begins.

  • Orderflow, AI and the New TRADEPRO - Ft. George Papazov

    George Papazov from TRADEPRO Academy joins Kyle for a wide-ranging conversation about trading, decision-making, market uncertainty, and the changes happening inside TradePro.

    George shares what’s new at TradePro Academy, including the move away from Discord, the launch of a cleaner community platform on Circle, and a simplified one-price membership structure. He also talks about how the trading education space has changed, why traders often overload themselves with too much information, and why simplifying your process can make decision-making easier.

    Kyle and George also dig into order flow, the current market environment, the challenge of trading around geopolitical headlines, the role of AI in trading workflows, and the weird reality of trying to make decisions when every trade has an unknown outcome.

    And because it’s George, the conversation also includes OnlyFans jokes, Florida iguanas, hockey, housing, Murphy’s Law, and why saying “please” to AI might be a future-proofing strategy.

  • No Country For Bad Trades: The Gap and Go

    ** Available to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bcggOmLmfm0 **

    Most traders see a stock gap up 15–20% at the open and assume they missed the move.

    This episode is about making that the beginning of the trade… not the end.

    Cam and Joel break down the Gap and Go strategy: a momentum-based system designed to identify stocks that gap hard at the open and continue moving higher. The conversation covers the full framework, including:

    • the exact screening criteria
    • how to use the first 5-minute candle for entries
    • stop placement and position sizing
    • profit-taking rules based on risk multiples
    • why float and volume matter
    • and how the strategy was tested across thousands of trades over a 10-year period.

    They also discuss:

    • why the strategy works in both bull and bear markets
    • how to manage a small account
    • the role of institutional buying in momentum
    • and why the best systems are often the most mechanical.

    If you’ve ever struggled with chasing momentum (or skipping trades that never come back), this episode provides a structured framework for handling both.

  • No Country for Bad Trades: What Happens After the Entry

    Most traders focus on finding the perfect setup, but that’s not the hard part…

    In this episode, Cam and Joel walk through real trades and real decisions; covering how to take profits, move stops, manage multiple positions, and decide when to rotate into something better.

    They also zoom out to the bigger picture: position sizing, capital allocation, sector exposure, and how market conditions (not opinions) should drive your strategy.

    If your entries are solid but your results aren’t, this is the missing piece.

  • No Country for Bad Trades: Screeners and Watchlists

    In this episode Cam and Joel break down how to actually build a trading watchlist, and more importantly, how to filter thousands of stocks down to the few that matter.

    Cam walks through his full process:

    • How to evaluate market conditions first
    • The exact screeners he uses to find high-momentum stocks
    • How to identify strong sectors and institutional money flow
    • And how to organize watchlists into actionable trade opportunities

    This is the missing step for most traders. It’s not just about knowing what a good setup looks like… it’s about knowing where and when to look for it.
