Most retail traders don’t lose because of the market. They lose because they bought the illusion.

In this episode, we break down the mechanics behind the modern trading “guru” machine — dopamine marketing, fake urgency, rented Lambos, cherry-picked screenshots, and recycled strategies sold as secret systems. We dissect how front-running, selective disclosure, paper accounts, and survivorship bias create the myth of effortless profitability.

This isn’t outrage. It’s analysis.

You’ll learn:

• How manufactured scarcity and social proof hijack your decision-making
• Why most course sellers can’t survive audited transparency
• The math behind survivorship bias and simulated performance
• How to spot front-running and signal-selling traps
• Why discipline, position sizing, and downside control beat hype every time

Then we flip the script.

Instead of chasing personalities, we outline what a real trading edge looks like:
Defined risk. Repeatable process. Data-backed expectancy. Mechanical risk management. Capital preservation first, growth second.

Because trading is binary at its core — you either have an edge, or you’re liquidity for someone who does.

No gurus. No fantasy. Just structure, risk, and truth.
