Over the past couple years, I've had the pleasure of hosting some great guests on the Speculators Podcast, like Al Brooks, Brian Shannon, Merritt Black, Matt PAX Kenah, Brannigan Barrett, and many more. This incredible compilation of episode clips highlights their most powerful market "worldviews" or "paradigms". In other words, their perspectives on how they view the task/endeavor of trading. Some view it as a chess game. Others view it as a treasure hunt. And others view it as a financial war. But they've all developed a strong worldview/paradigm that works for them. Go deep inside the minds of elite traders to see how they operate at a foundational level & discover powerful perspectives to take your trading to the next level.

Join us in this fun & insightful conversation with Futures momentum trader: Fat Cat. He's a fellow Volume Profile trader that uses the tool for multi-timeframe context & structure, and then layers in short-term Price Action (30-second bars or less) & Order Flow (DOM/Depth of Market) to build on that context and pinpoint precise entries & exits. On average, he takes about 10-15 trades per day with his momentum scalping approach. It's also worth noting that he exclusively trades e-mini S&P 500 futures (ES), but monitors Nasdaq (NQ) and Russell (RTY) as well for correlation purposes.

He started as a runner on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) trading floor in 1988, quickly transitioning into better, higher-paying positions as time went by. He made MILLIONS of dollars on the floor; generational wealth by the time he was 35. But disaster struck in 2011 with the collapse of MF Global - and PAX went from being one of the largest traders in the world to BROKE overnight. This devastating scenario forced him to re-evaluate his trading career and figure out a way forward to support his family. Discover how PAX overcame this massive setback and successfully shifted his approach from floor to screens in this week’s episode of the Speculators Podcast.
