On this episode of Words of Rizdom, we sit down with Fredy Sarmiento, a former institutional market maker with more than 20 years of professional trading experience.Fredy reveals what actually happens inside institutional trading desks, why he doesn’t believe banks and market makers are deliberately “hunting” retail stop losses, and how the hedging requirements of the options market create enormous flows that move markets. He also shares what it was like handling positions worth hundreds of millions and even billions, losing twice his permitted risk on his first trading day, losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis and rebuilding his career from scratch.Fredy also explains why he walked away from FX, why he believes every futures trader should understand options flow, and the mindset required to survive in trading for decades rather than years.

On this episode of Words of Rizdom, we are joined by Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund (With George Soros), which achieved over 4,200% in just 7 years. Jim was one of the most successful investors of his generation, building one of the greatest track records in hedge fund history alongside Soros, who later became known for making over $1 billion on the famous pound trade.Jim gives a serious warning to traders and investors: nearly every market in the world is booming, markets are making all-time highs, and whenever people say “it’s different now”, you should be very worried.In this interview, Jim breaks down why problems are coming, why timing can wipe you out even when you’re right, why the number one rule is don’t lose money, and what traders can learn from gold, silver, central banks, George Soros, market crashes, global investing and decades of surviving in the markets.

On this episode of Words of Rizdom, we are joined by Andy Krieger, the trader behind executing one of the most successful trades of all time. He executed a $300M trade that helped set the playbook George Soros later used to break the pound. With that trade he set a record in 1987 as the world's highest-earning trader. Andy breaks down how he used options, liquidity, market psychology and stop levels to crash the New Zealand dollar, why options are “nuclear bombs”, why retail traders have no edge in short-term noise, and what traders should actually focus on if they want longevity.

We also discuss George Soros, Bill Lipschutz, Paul Tudor Jones, Stanley Druckenmiller, Ray Dalio, options trading, market inefficiencies, information flow, why retail traders are disadvantaged in short-term noise, and why the best traders think in probabilities, time horizons and psychology. This is real trading history.

We hope you enjoy this episode!
