In this episode, I break down the three non-negotiable steps I’ve seen work again and again for traders who finally stop spinning their wheels and start making real progress.

We cover how to define your trading North Star, how to reverse engineer your edge into focused daily work, and how to review your performance properly... without over-analysing or burning yourself out.

Have you ever seen the film Zulu?

It’s not really a war film.

It’s a lesson in discipline under pressure.

In this episode, I break down what the Battle of Rorke’s Drift teaches us about trading… why structure beats strength, why survival matters more than heroics, and why holding the line is often the real edge.

A calm look at discipline, risk, and behaviour when things get uncomfortable.

Most traders don’t fail in year one, they fail in year two.

In this episode I break down why traders stall, burn out or blow up in that 12–24 month window, and how to make sure you’re one of the few who actually push through and build consistency.

Most traders swing between two extremes: trading so small it doesn’t matter… or trading so big it destroys their ability to think clearly.

In this episode, we break down how to actually find the sweet spot... the size that engages you, keeps you disciplined, and doesn’t sabotage your edge.

Plus, the two phases every trader must go through before scaling up.

You took a trade you shouldn’t have… moved the stop… oversized… maybe all three.

Now you’re staring at a red number and feeling disgusted with yourself.

Here’s the thing: that emotional spiral is where traders get wrecked... or rise.

This episode is about what to actually do when you’ve just messed up… and how the best traders break the cycle before it breaks them.

You’ve got the idea. The backdrop lines up. You know what you want to do…

But you’re waiting for that perfect trigger... and before you know it, the move’s already gone.

In this episode, Mark breaks down the concept of the feeler position, a small, early entry that keeps you aligned with the trade idea while managing risk.

We explore:

• When to use a feeler trade (and when not to)
• How it shifts your mindset from hesitation to action
• Why it sharpens your focus and reduces FOMO
• How to build a position around a solid thesis. even when conditions aren’t perfect

If you’ve ever said, “I knew it was going to move, but I didn’t take the trade…” — this episode is for you.
