In this episode Lance dives deep into what he believes are the reasons that he has found such success as a trader, including his tremendous work ethic, maintaining a long term perspective, and reviewing what he describes as "the most important moments" in his trading. As Lance puts it, it's not enough to just work hard at trading by looking at charts or reading analyst reviews all day. In order to make it, a trader must really dig into working smarter by identifying and refining the nuanced aspects of trading that will compound and pay out exponentially over time. Lance gives a number of detailed examples of how any trader can accomplish this during their review process with examples of watching back how they traded, journalling, and doing a daily report card.
Lance also breaks down few different real world and theoretical discretionary trades and how he would approach them. In one example of a theoretical capitulation trade, he outlines how he would capitalize on a panic if a "boring" mega cap stock like Bank of America (BAC) dropped +20% in a matter of minutes. Other examples that Lance speaks to are real world trades that have happened recently, including catching the recent lows of Carvana (CVNA) and buying the breakout of Tesla (TSLA) from last fall. Beyond outlining how these trades worked, Lance dives into his thoughts and conviction behind these big trades. He describes the thought process and stock selection by specifically identifying stocks that he believes every trader is wanting to be on the same side of the trade.
The roadmap to becoming a wildly successful trader is outlined from virtually A to Z by Lance. As he says multiple times, there is no magic formula or secret to becoming successful. It takes committed, deliberate work to refine the craft of being a trader and this is done by removing limiting beliefs, being self-aware, staying objective and honest with yourself, being ready for any given outcome, giving back and being a contribution, living in accordance of your values, and committing to a growth mindset in order to improve every day.

Lance is gem of a person thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and taking the time to say you enjoyed it.
Fantastic interview. If you are very early in the trading game, you may not realize that pretty much everything you need to be successful is laid out right here. If you have been in the game for a while, You can hear the distinctive ring of wisdom running throughout Lance's words. You don't have to agree with everything he says, I probably agree with 90% of it, but really everything you need to be successful is right here.
Agreed Josh! So glad you enjoyed it. Lance drops gem after gem here. I'm with you! Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Simply amazing how traders that have the ability to make solid amount of money are willing to offer help. Abundance oozes through their being. Thanks for this fine upload.
So glad you’re watching our podcast and I agree with you that the generosity of Lance and some other very successful trader’s generosity know no bounds. Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Absolutely amazing interview.
Kim, thanks for interviewing Lance that seems to be a rather generous person that is happy with life.
PS: less than 1100 views on mid June 2022. This is a major evidence that there many hidden gems on TH-cam. You just have to search for them.
Thank you so much Diogo! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Lance is very special. If you’re digging my podcast perhaps you’d be willing to consider helping me to spread the word. Pls do subscribe!
Lance is unbelievably eloquent and experienced. I think he’s the perfect guy to convey information and advice to traders who have a couple years of experience and are trying to shift from breakeven to consistently profitable. Not to say this information isn’t extremely valuable to already profitable traders, b/c it is, but the information he is sharing would’ve exponentially accelerated my learning curve back in the day when I was consistently breakeven. Great interview, and as always, phenomenal execution on Lance’s end. Appreciate all of your time!
Thank you so much for watching and more taking the time to share your thoughts. I really appreciate it! So glad you dug it. Thank you for trusting us with YOUR time!

1:10:30 The Power of Greed, No Matter How Much You Have You Always Want MORE!!!
It’s part of the human condition - but there are practices that can mitigate this -self awareness - noticing it is afoot is one. Gratitude for what is me already has is another
Wow! what a great interview. One of the best if not THE best❤
Thank you so much Dem! I agree - Lance gave us a killer interview
Another wonderful interview. Really appreciated what he said about back testing as well as about what “rich” is lol and taking on a dream and what that takes. So much more in this interview. Highly recommend a listen! This man is wonderful. Thanks Lance.

Amazing interview! Thx for this! One of Lance’s tip was to record the trades and that was a game changer.

This was a very good interview. As a beginning trader Lance's story is very relatable. I love this content. Thank you

Lool the hottest trader out there right now, must be them biceps. A++ content as per
Thank you for watching! And taking the time to let’s us know. It means a lot.
Very good content thanks
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to say so! 🙇♀
You can lose your home, car and file bankruptcy and still feel much better about yourself than when you have that trading loss. It turns out trading is not just a numbers game. What lance says here must be taught in schools. This is human behavior psychology. The extend to what he says could help someone is beyond the trading arena.
I agree 💯 perfect! Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts!
Did or does Lance ever day trade options? Or strictly stocks? Inquiring minds would like to know thank you!
Hit him up on Twitter to inquire
The bank of america part was really funny, 35 bucks to 26 in 2 mins lol time to backtest
Thank you for watching Michael!
Lance "guess what" Breitstein.
Guess what John? I dig it! What say you Lance? ;-)
What's this guys net worth anyway? We just supposed to assume he's super successful.
I don't know what that number is but yes Lance is incredibly successful and not only monetarially but in many ways.
He was the number one trader two years in a row at a top tier prop firm and made in excess of 10 million dollars per year. Trust me, if he was not being truthful about this, the other traders there would call him on it. He's legit. I think he's also posted audited proof. But honestly, if you have seen the grifters and snake oil salesmen out there, you can tell that Lance is not one of them. Plus, as far as I know, while he does appear in SMB videos, he's not really selling anything.
Why don’t you put in the work and find out yourself? His background, resume and accolades are out there.
Profitable legitimate traders can sniff out the frauds. Think of any subject you have expertise or mastery in. You know who’s bullshitting you and who’s real.
