Details

Education is the foundation of successful trading and community/support is the glue that holds it all together. At Band of Traders, our mission is to provide you with educational resources to sharpen your trading skills. Our thriving Discord community is a great source of inspiration, motivation and camaraderie. We are bringing together traders of all levels for no-nonsense insights into the trading world. We don’t sugarcoat the truth because traders must have the ability to evaluate their trades, strategies and emotional states in order to achieve personal growth. That growth is an integral part of becoming a master trader. We believe that we are stronger together, learn more together, and have better trades together. Our weekly Round Table episodes are casual conversations about the week's trading lessons, educational content, strategies, and all things trading. Our rotation of co-hosts keeps the discussions fresh. Plus, once a month, we’ve got a special treat – a Round Table with expert guests to dive deep into a specific topic. These episodes drop on Mondays. On Thursdays we release our in-depth guest interviews and informative miniseries episodes, all with a focus on trading and trader education. We cover a wide range of topics including stocks and options, FOREX, and futures. Don’t just listen, get involved! Our community members not only share insights, trade ideas, charts and journals, they actively participate in podcast content. Beyond suggesting possible guests, we encourage our listeners to consider recording an episode with us and an expert guest they have questions for. Many of our guests also participate in our Discord discussions, giving traders of all levels opportunities to learn and connect. Are you ready to embrace the true essence of trading? Join us on the Band of Traders podcast, where we uncover the real world of trading, one episode at a time. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced trader, we have something for everyone. Explore our episodes, connect with fellow traders, learn from each other’s successes and failures, and grow as we trade together.

2yrFlipper:

Two years after leaving his position as an ARB clerk in the corn futures market, 2yrflipper found himself deeply entrenched in the world of bond trading. His journey took a significant turn when he became one of the early adopters of trading technology, wielding one of the first handheld devices in the trading pit. Despite acknowledging his limitations as a pit trader, his connection with Chip Kenyon, a prominent figure in the bond pit, paved the way for a remarkable opportunity. For the following two years, he immersed himself in trading a staggering volume of contracts on Chip's behalf, gaining invaluable insights into the intricacies of the trading screen that has fueled a long and successful trading career.

“Don’t Manage the Money… Manage the Trade” - Scalping w/ 2yrflipper
APR 25, 2024
“Don’t Manage the Money… Manage the Trade” - Scalping w/ 2yrflipper

Jeff (2yrflipper) is back for a deeper dive into the art of scalping, as he emphasizes the importance of knowing when to scratch a trade and how to catch edges. Jeff discusses the significance of correlations in scalping and the importance of staying organized, as well as his use of delta and timers in his trading strategy. Jeff recommends starting with a one-lot position size to maintain consistency and learn from each trade, and to focus on managing the trade rather than the money. Developing quick twitch muscles and practicing clicking fast can benefit new scalpers, as well as looking for anomalies in the DOM and time and sales to identify opportunities for scalping. Scalping requires dedication and the ability to stay focused for long periods of time, and Jeff emphasizes the importance of executing trades only when there is a perceived edge and staying away when there isn't.

Apex Fills & Using Momentum - Roundtable
APR 14, 2024
Apex Fills & Using Momentum - Roundtable

This week’s roundtable features a lively discussion around Mr. Banks’s recent “experience” with an Apex eval account, and Fleri shares some ideas about how to incorporate momentum into our trading. The panelists discuss their experiences with Apex, highlighting issues such as lack of transparency and poor customer service while also mentioning Top Step as a prop firm with good customer service. In terms of gauging momentum, they emphasize the importance of watching rotations and levels, as well as volume and tape reading, to determine the strength of a move. They discuss the significance of counter rotations and the disrespecting of support or resistance levels as indicators of momentum. The good, bad, and ugly highlights the importance of taking a step back after an unfortunate event and everyone makes Bold Masters Predictions in honor of Baba Yaga!

Mr. Banks:

Working as a commercial banker and trading on the side helped Mr. Banks develop his trading style into what it is today. As a banker, his main thought is: “What’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?” Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives and limit the unknown factors.

“Only a Trader Could Understand This” - Humanity w/ Anthony Crudele
APR 11, 2024
“Only a Trader Could Understand This” - Humanity w/ Anthony Crudele

Anthony Crudele, host of Futures Radio Show joins Cleo and me to share how he got into trading and podcasting, and the (mostly) positive impacts of them on his personal life. The conversation then shifts towards sustaining success and how it can be harder than attaining it initially. Anthony shares how the pressure to keep what you have and continue building on it can be overwhelming… External and internal pressures, such as expectations from others and the fear of losing what you've gained, make sustaining success difficult. Navigating this requires envisioning yourself as a successful trader, acting as if you are already successful, and seeking guidance from mentors or successful individuals. Anthony then talks about his growth as a trader and how he has learned to slow things down and be more patient. He shares how his relationship with trading has evolved and how he now sees it as a puzzle to solve rather than a constant chase for profits. They also discuss the challenges Anthony is currently facing and how he deals with losses and setbacks before concluding with a reflection on how trading has shaped him as a person.

About Deli:

Anthony Crudele is a seasoned Futures trader with 25+ years of experience. His journey began in 1995 as a runner at Lyn Waldock, marking the initiation of his experience in the financial markets. From there, he took on various roles, eventually becoming one of the youngest members on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), holding multiple seats and actively participating in the early stages of electronic trading. Crudele’s 23-year membership at the CME solidified his passion for the industry.

Beyond his trading career, Crudele has made a significant impact on the Futures industry as the founder of “Futures Radio Show” in 2014, the first Futures podcast. Over the past decade, the podcast has offered valuable insights through interviews with industry experts.

Crudele’s trading style evolved from scalping to a hybrid approach, emphasizing execution, market environment analysis, and knowing when to trade big, small or not at all. His Beacon indicator, born out of personal trading challenges, serves as a mean reversion tool, aiding traders in navigating market dynamics and avoiding trades against prevailing momentum.
