Most traders fail because they lie to themselves. This content teaches you how to stop. Delusional Trader examines the psychology of markets and the stories we tell ourselves — the narratives, blind spots, and behavioural patterns that shape decisions long before price ever moves. Drawing on two decades of trading and investing experience, the show explores how humans think, react, and rationalise when money is on the line. No hype, no shortcuts — just clear, experience‑driven insight into why markets behave the way they do, and why we behave the way we do. It’s part behavioural finance, part market observation, part self‑awareness — delivered with honesty, clarity, and a dry edge. New episode every week
