  • Why Drawdowns Break Traders (And How to Survive Them)
    Jul 13 2026

    Every trader who has quit trading did so during a drawdown.

    In this episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we discuss this difficult topic and what you can do now to prepare.

    Topics include:

    • Drawdowns are psychologically much harder than most traders expect
    • The biggest pain isn't the money - it's questioning whether your strategy actually has an edge
    • Having only one strategy makes your identity more dependent on its success
    • Programmatic sizing rules help eliminate emotional decision-making

    And much more...

    If you've never had a drawdown or aren't planning on having any more, then you can skip this one. :-)

    Otherwise...

  • The Best Trading Ideas We've Shared in 100 Episodes
    Jul 6 2026

    In this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, we reflect on 100 episodes of the podcast. (!!)

    We compare the most popular episodes by downloads with those we think are most valuable.

    Michael and I independently came to the episode with a list of 3 episodes we thought were the best.

    I was shocked when we compared the lists!

    Whether you're new to the podcast or a veteran of LYOP, this is a good episode to learn which concepts we think are the most valuable to serious traders.
