In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with BOFOMOMO to discuss small-cap trading, scalping, risk management, adaptation, and what happens when a trading edge stops working.

Bo first discovered the market during the COVID era after seeing how much volatility could exist in individual stocks. From there, he became obsessed with day trading, joined online trading communities, studied low-float small caps, and eventually developed a fast, order-flow-driven style built around precision, tape reading, and cutting losses quickly.

But this episode is not just about scalping. It is about evolution.

Bo explains why the small-cap market became more difficult, how old micro-timeframe setups stopped paying the same way, and why he had to adapt by expanding beyond long-side scalps into a more balanced, two-sided approach. He also discusses the role of broker selection, locates, short-side patience, slippage, algos, and why his short-side development has actually improved his long-side trading.

This conversation also goes deeper into the psychology of trading: stubbornness, giving back gains, hot-streak complacency, mental health, community, mentorship, and the importance of staying in the game when the market gets cold.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony Nieto sits down with Jack Schwager, legendary author of the Market Wizards series, and George Coyle, co-author of Market Wizards: The Next Generation.

The new book continues one of the most important traditions in trading literature: in-depth interviews with exceptional traders who achieved extraordinary results through unique methods, relentless work, strict risk control, and the ability to adapt as markets change.

Jack and George discuss how this new installment came together, what makes this generation of Market Wizards different, and why many elite traders first went through major failures, blowups, and painful learning curves before reaching extraordinary success.

They also explore small-cap short selling, option selling, negative asymmetry, adaptability, trader psychology, journaling, playbooks, and the hard work required to compete at the highest level.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Zander Odom, a young trader who skipped college to pursue trading full-time—and built a systematic edge through backtesting, risk management, and relentless self-improvement. Zander shares how he first discovered trading at 13, why small caps became his focus, and how he moved from random chart-based decisions to a structured playbook built around defined entries, exits, risk, and backtested samples. Zander discusses the snowboarding accident that left him paralyzed, how he rebuilt his trading setup with adaptive hardware and voice tools, and why trading became a blessing that allowed him to continue pursuing his purpose.
