He lost money swing trading long in his sophomore and junior years of college before discovering short selling in his senior year — where he turned $5K into $1 million in eight months. But the lessons didn't stop there. He lost $500,000 in the following three months, teaching him the importance of wiring out profits and never trading with money he couldn't afford to lose.Discover what Phil calls "extreme risk management" — why he expects to be green immediately on every entry, how he pyramids into positions, and why he never adds to losing trades. Learn how cutting out C and D trades doubled his profits, why he sizes down during drawdowns, and how studying your biggest losses is where the real edge is found.Phil walks through real trade examples including his seven-figure SMCI short, the MSTR parabolic reversal, and the frustrating SLV silver trade that didn't perform to his expectations. He also shares his biggest losses — including $2 million on GameStop — and the psychological lessons that came with them.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ How Phil turned $5K into $1 million shorting small caps in college✅ Why cutting out "garbage trades" doubled his profits without adding risk✅ His extreme risk management rules — expect to be green immediately✅ How to pyramid into positions and scale out of winners✅ Why wiring out monthly changed his psychology forever✅ How to size down during drawdowns and push hard when things workWhether you're a short seller or long-biased trader, Phil's insights on discipline, position sizing, and studying your data will help you trade with a clearer mind and a stronger edge.Enjoy!- The TraderLion TeamTimestamps:0:00 - Welcome & Phil's Background4:26 - Discovering Short Selling in College5:09 - Turning $5K into $1 Million Senior Year6:26 - What Kept Him Going During Tough Times8:44 - Resources for New Traders Today10:52 - Studying Charts & Technical Analysis12:49 - Cutting Out C and D Trades17:46 - The "Addicted Trader" — Market Wizards Chapter19:34 - Risk Per Trade & Position Concentration20:22 - Losing $500K After Making $1 Million22:29 - Extreme Risk Management Explained24:30 - Pyramiding Into Positions25:39 - Biggest Drawdowns: Dryships & GameStop27:27 - Sizing Down During Drawdowns30:20 - Reading Market Health & Conditions30:48 - The Mental Side of Losses34:15 - SMCI Trade Walkthrough39:43 - Scaling Out of Winning Trades41:52 - SLV Silver Trade Breakdown48:45 - MSTR Trade Walkthrough54:23 - Options Strategy & Zero DTE58:40 - Daily Routine & Scanning Process1:03:22 - Scaling Challenges as a Short Seller1:05:35 - Selling Options for Income1:07:31 - Defining Risk & Mental Capital1:13:20 - Wiring Out & Trading with a Clear Mind1:14:52 - Advice for New Traders1:17:37 - Studying Your Data & Reviewing Trades

His journey is one of the most compelling entrepreneur-to-trader transformations we've featured on the show.Steve started trading in the 1990s as a teenager, catching his first monster trade in EMC — a 500% gain with no clue what he was doing. But trading took a backseat when he built two software companies from the ground up — one growing to 250 employees before being acquired.When Steve returned to trading full-time in 2017, it took him two years to become profitable — and during that time, he blew up multiple accounts. Then came Volmageddon in 2018, when his XIV position "went to the center of the earth and became a flaming pile of trash." But Steve got back to work the very next day. Through discovering Qullamaggie, Minervini, and Jim Roppel, he transitioned to swing trading the market leaders — and never looked back.In this episode, Steve walks through his complete trading system, the "factory" mindset he uses to build repeatable processes, his setups and entry triggers, position sizing rules, and 10+ real trades from both 2025 and early 2026 — including Bloom Energy, Hood, Palantir, Credo, SanDisk, and his short trades in Nugget and Silver. He also shares how he uses the VIX as a timing tool and the key lessons from his 21.5% January 2026 performance.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ How Steve's 20 years building startups shaped his "trading is a business" philosophy✅ The Volmageddon disaster — and why you need a "spoonful of delusion" to survive✅ His transition from day trading to swing trading the market leaders✅ Setups he trades: flat base breakouts, undercut & reclaims, higher lows, 6/20 crossover✅ Position sizing: 3-5% starters, pyramiding to 12-15%, targeting 0.1-0.2% risk per trade✅ 10+ real trade walkthroughs with entries, adds, trims, and exits — bar by barThis isn't just theory — this is the real process behind a 70%+ year in the US Investing Championship.Enjoy!- The TraderLion TeamPublic Sponsorship Disclosure:Paid endorsement.Brokerage services provided by Open to the Public Investing Inc, member FINRA & SIPC.

Over the past two years, he's achieved a verified return of over 1300%. In this episode, Chris goes deep into his swing trading process, breaking down his biggest winners and losers from the past year and sharing the exact stats, setups, and mental frameworks that power his consistent outperformance.Chris came from nearly a decade of professional poker—taking calculated risks every single day under intense pressure—and still found that trading pressure was significantly higher than anything he experienced at the poker table. That background taught him the importance of tilt control, position sizing, and never letting a few losses cascade into a death spiral.This year, Chris kept his drawdowns within his strict 5% monthly band, held his winners longer, and focused on identifying the difference between "persistent trenders" (names to hold) versus "climactic movers" (names to sell into strength). He candidly breaks down his biggest misses—CoreWeave and Pony—where oversizing and high expectations led to cascading losses, and explains exactly how he's preventing that going forward.🔥 What You'll Learn:✅ The 5% monthly drawdown rule: how limiting losses preserves capital and prevents the "trader death spiral"✅ Why win rate doesn't matter: 30% winners with massive R:R still produces 166% returns✅ Episodic pivots explained: buying 50%+ gaps into all-time highs on monster volume✅ Position sizing secrets: how to pyramid into winners while cutting losers fast✅ The CoreWeave and Pony disasters: oversizing, tilt, and lessons learned from his worst stretch of the year✅ Persistent trenders vs. climactic movers: when to hold for the 10-day EMA vs. sell into strengthWhether you're struggling with drawdown control or looking to improve your ability to hold winners longer, Chris's detailed trade reviews and brutally honest self-assessment provide a masterclass in systematic improvement and mental mastery.Enjoy!- The TraderLion TeamPublic Sponsorship Disclosure:Paid endorsement.Brokerage services provided by Open to the Public Investing Inc, member FINRA & SIPC.
