This week, Kyle interviews Zen, a trader who shares his journey and experiences in the stock market. Zen talks about how he got started in trading, his successes and failures, and the importance of risk management and discipline. He also discusses his time in the Atlas trading community and the lessons he learned from it, emphasizing the need for traders to find their own edge and develop their own strategies, rather than relying on others. After discussing the challenges of navigating social media and finding valuable information and connections, Zen shares his recommendations for Twitter follows who provide valuable insights and support. They wrap up with a final encouraging word by Zen urging everyone to persevere in their trading journey and not give up.

About Zen:Zen began his trading journey in March 2020, diving into the financial markets during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially having little knowledge of investing, he was inspired by a friend's suggestion to capitalize on the market downturn, leading him to experiment with a small investment on Robinhood. His early success with a mortgage REIT sparked a deeper interest in trading. Over time, Zen expanded his skills, moving from swing trading small caps to trading options, and eventually found success in scalping shares. In 2023, Zen attempted to trade full-time and did well, especially trading Tesla. However, a few personal mistakes led him to step back and reassess his approach. Currently, he is focused on disciplined trading with a healthier balance, continuing to trade individual stocks and options on a smaller scale.
