Advice for my younger self... hmm...... | STR 544

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/09/08

I was recently asked, “Hey Clay! What would be one bit of advice you’d give a younger version of yourself?” What a great question! In this episode, we dive into one of the simplest — yet most powerful — financial principles that hides in plain sight - or does it? While it sounds obvious, many people struggle with this principle, and the consequences can add unnecessary stress, debt, and financial insecurity. We’ve all learned about this as young children, yet somehow it tends to get lost in the

A Misleading Component of Context | STR 543

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/09/01

We hear it all the time: context is king. This is certainly true and is an important part of the discussion or decision making process. When we focus it into trading, context is extremely important! With that said, I recently read an article from a psychology professional who makes a super interesting point. Is it anything revolutionary? I don’t think so. But it is one of those dynamics that sort of hides in plain sight and therefore is overlooked. The problem is, overlooking this dynamic can have

$53,400 GONE in a Matter of Minutes...| STR 542

2025/08/25

$53,400 gone in a matter of minutes. It sounds a bit far-fetched doesn’t it? Unfortunately, it’s not and is the reality of the situation for a very courageous member of my private trading community. This past week a screen shot showed up in our private chatroom showing their results and it left us all shocked and saddened. How could this happen? What was he trading? Does he plan to keep on trading? There are several very important lessons to be learned. I have nothing but respect for this person as

A Warning for Traders and ChatGPT... | STR 541

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/08/18

There is a new study making its way around from MIT in regards to what ChatGPT is doing to people’s brains. In my opinion, none of it is shocking; however, it also made me think about all of us as traders. I’m open to the idea that maybe I am overthinking this and it’s not necessarily true, but I’m pretty confident I’m at least in the general area of truth. Finding consistency and success in trading is a very hard thing to do as I’m sure many of you already know, and while it may seem like ChatGPT

How to Create Crazy "ROI's"! | STR 540

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/08/11

Personally, if someone showed me what I’m about to show you, I would not believe them. I would immediately say, “No way! What’s the catch???”. As much as it would disappoint me for you not to consider what I talk about in this week’s episode of the podcast, I’d truly understand. If you are looking for a way to create some crazy return on investments (“ROI’s”) in your monetary world, then you need to do what I’m doing! None of this is a Holy Grail or “get rich quick”. None of this is easy. But the

The Pitfall of Demo Trading... | STR 539

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/08/04

It’s certainly not a new topic to the ClayTrader world, but it’s a topic that I’m not sure can ever be talked about too often. Good ole’ demo trading is one of the more complicated dynamics in all of trading. I think this is because there are so many different angles and considerations that need to be made in regards to its actual value. As the years continue to pass me by and I hear more and more stories from traders, I’ve begun to get a bit more solid in my current position on the topic. While I’m

Market Makers? LOL... | STR 538

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/07/28

Are there any more dreaded words in the minds of some traders than “market makers”?!?! Who knows, perhaps you now have goose bumps or the hair on your arms is standing straight up! If you are one of these people who believe it is very important to pay attention to “market makers” and their games, let’s take a step back and do some thinking. While I can understand your concern and focus on market makers, please… STOP IT. All the talk and drama around market makers is totally overblown and in all

Fighting Anxiety and Tilt... | STR 537

2025/07/21

Anxiety and “Tilt”. Perhaps those two words cause goosebumps and/or for the hair to raise up on the back of your neck! I’m with you! In the world of trading these are two very common and powerful pitfalls that we must learn how to navigate. I recently had a couple of traders ask me how I fight against each of those. This is a very thoughtful question and comes from a place of someone being self aware and truly wanting to improve as a trader. I certainly can’t proclaim to have all the answers, but I

Day Trader Geography (Be Aware!) | STR 536

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/06/30

I recently came across an article on CNBC that sparked a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough. Perhaps you are well aware of day trader geography, but oftentimes it’s one of those concepts that hides in plain sight. The best way to find success as a day trader (or really any kind of trader/investor for that matter) is to ensure your expectations are aligned as closely as possible with reality. A key component in this task of aligning expectations and reality is understanding day trader

Calendar Critical Thinking... | STR 535

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/06/23

“Today” (the day I recorded this episode) I was reminded of how I need to do a better job of deploying my critical thinking skills around the economic calendar. Thankfully the trade I was in turned out really well, but wow, the opposite could have just as easily been true. I know I’ve talked about the economic calendar before on the podcast; however, the lesson I was reminded of “today” is certainly one worth offering up to you as a reminder. Hopefully none of this is coming across as overly

A False Lens for Futures Trading... | STR 534

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/06/16

Are you someone who is intrigued by futures trading for some reason, but are hesitating to trade them? Perhaps you don’t think you have enough time to “learn how to trade something new”. Or maybe, you do have the time, you’re just a bit overwhelmed in terms of “where should I learn how to day trade futures?”. On the surface, these scenarios seem to be totally legitimate and make perfect sense. If you answer a certain question as “yes”, then these scenarios become a massively false lens. Odds are,

A Basic Way to Get Better...| STR 533

2025/06/09

My YouTube live streams continue to deliver these podcast episode ideas! This past week I had a few interactions that, once again, reminded me of how some people could better themselves as a trader by doing one simple thing. To be fair, I suppose it is not the simplest thing to do, but again, to be fair, it’s also not in the realm of reasonableness to say this thing is impossible to do. I admit I probably get more frustrated than I should when I encounter these situations, but I can’t stand watching

The Trump Tweet. We’re all aware as traders by now how a single press of a button can send the markets into full blow roller coaster mode. We’re also aware of how a press conference about a certain topic can contain an off the cuff remark that, once again, sends the market into full blown roller coaster mode. I’ve been asked enough now the same general question where it makes sense to address it via a podcast. The question goes something like this, “Hey Clay, how do you navigate and manage this type

Will AI Destroy the Markets and Trading? | STR 531

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast ·

2025/05/26

More and more people are asking about AI and what I think the effects it will have on the markets. It’s not a crazy question at all. Is AI something that is going to wreck the markets and destroy everything we know as traders? Are we going to be eaten alive by its vast intelligence and ability to think way quicker than we are? The core of the question is this: will there be any room for human traders, or are we going to become instinct? Let me give you my thoughts. Spoiler alert, it’s a very simple

Self Deception. Are You a Victim? | STR 530

There is nothing worse we can do to ourselves as traders and investors than deceive ourselves. Deception can be a tricky thing. Self deception can be an even trickier thing. I wouldn’t say I was shocked by the discovery, but the livestream on YouTube continues to deliver valuable lessons and reminders for us in the trading world. There is quite a bit of self deception occurring and I’m doing my best to put an end to it. I used to fall victim to it as it is something that seems to be totally

Small Cap and Low Float Stocks... DANGER! | STR 529

Not a whole lot of money but want the opportunity to grow it fast? Looking for something that moves extremely quickly? Did you stumble upon someone explaining just how much money can be made with these small cap and low float stocks? Listen. I get it. I really do. Like most of us, when we first get started on our trading journey we don’t have a whole lot of capital to work with. Because of this, the logic follows that by trading these types of stocks we’ll be able to create more capital and then

Do you have the entire context when it comes to risk management? This is a critical skill within the world of trading and one that must be mastered if you want any true chance at success. Perhaps you’re now asking, “How do we determine the entire context for risk?” Well, in all actuality, it revolves around a single question. Once you answer this question, the numbers will drive themselves from there. Without this question however, you won’t be able to proceed forward in any coherent manner. Yes,

This Type of Trading Is... Fake? | STR 527

Hmmmm… is this type of trading fake? That’s what I was recently told and perhaps you’ve heard someone make the same claim. This interaction happened on a live stream which was ideal as I could interact with this person in real time. Did this person bring hardcore evidence to the table to support their claim? Were they able to present a case that did indeed expose this trading strategy as fake? I think it’s worth examining their claims and seeing if they carry with them any merit. My goal with myself

Do you find yourself struggling in an area of your trading? You aren’t alone! The world of trading is a constant struggle. Oftentimes, it’s the struggle against all those crazy voices in our head that want us to do really stupid things. Other times, it can be more of a unique struggle that won’t be the same for everyone.

Unless you went outside, dug a hole, and shoved your head into it.. You know things have gotten pretty wild around the world from an economic standpoint. If you’re anything like me and others know you’re “in the markets”, you know things are getting dramatic when people start texting you with “you ok?”... “what is going on?”.. Etc. We’re in a unique time and I want to point out what I believe to be the most important indicator to keep an eye on. It’s already being talked about in the headlines
