Welcome to "The Humanity of Trading," a miniseries hosted by Kyle and Cleo, where we pull back the curtain on the high-stakes world of day trading and reveal the humans behind the charts. This isn’t just another finance podcast—think of it as your backstage pass to the drama, comedy, and downright weirdness that come with being a trader. In each episode, we sit down with traders to chat about their journeys, their strategies, and the occasional trading horror stories. Ever wonder what goes through a trader's mind when the market goes haywire? Spoiler: It's not always pretty, but it is always interesting. We dive into the psychological side of trading, exploring the mental models and coping mechanisms that keep traders (mostly) sane. From handling the stress of massive losses to celebrating those big wins, we invite our guests to share it all with honesty. And because we like to keep things practical and fun, we sprinkle in some mini coaching sessions, where the tables turn and our hosts get some coaching attention too, revealing their own trading quirks and learning experiences. Whether you're a seasoned pro, a newbie, or just curious about what makes traders tick, "The Humanity of Trading" promises to be an educational, entertaining, and sometimes wild ride.
