    #150 Mark Minervini: From Humble Beginnings to Mark Wizard and Trading Legend

    Welcome to a very special milestone—Episode 150 of the AlphaMind Podcast. To celebrate this achievement, we’ve recorded an extraordinary episode with one of the most successful and respected private traders in the trading sphere: Mark Minervini.  Over the years, Mark—also featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards—has been a top request from our listeners. We’re thrilled to finally sit down with him and explore the mindset, perspectives, and strategies that have powered his remarkable 45-year trading career.  In this episode, Mark generously shares his personal journey, starting from very humble beginnings. Growing up in poverty, dropping out of school early, and initially pursuing a career in music, Mark's path was anything but conventional. He recounts his early years filled with failures, blow-ups, and account losses—a recurring pattern in his first five years in the markets. Yet through perseverance, he developed the processes, mindset, and attitudes that ultimately created his success.   Mark’s story is an inspiring testament to resilience, process development, and a winning philosophy—one he now shares broadly through his writings, mentoring, and educational programs. His insights have helped countless traders start with their own capital and realize their dreams of success.  We’re honoured to present this in-depth conversation with Mark Minervini, whose experience and wisdom continue to inspire traders worldwide.  You can learn more about Mark, his services, and his educational programs—including his Master Trader Program and Superperformance Workshop at the links below: Website: www.minervini.com   X: https://x.com/markminervini Master Trader Program & Superperformance Workshop Details: https://mtp.minervini.com/   Review of the Master Trader Program: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67f3a87b5ea94c2111bbc838/6845ba2f8a93f372dca3466a_mtp-review.pdf  AlphaMind: Powering Performance in Global Markets AlphaMind brings powerful change, growth and development to people and businesses within global markets.

    #149 Blayn Marshall: A Younger Trader’s Journey and Perspective on Developing Systematic Trading Strategies

    Welcome to episode 149 of the AlphaMind Podcast. Unlike most episodes that feature seasoned traders with decades of experience, today we’re delighted to speak with Blayn Marshall, someone who is still in the early chapters of his trading career, navigating the initial challenges and lessons that come with it.  Blayn began his trading journey facing the common hurdles many new private and retail traders encounter—initial losses, steep learning curves, and the pursuit of consistency. Recognizing the potential of automation and systematic strategies in today’s landscape, he has shifted his focus toward building multiple automated trading systems. Using a disciplined, low-risk approach, he is now starting to see the rewards of his efforts.  What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is gaining insights from someone who is starting out in a very different environment—one shaped by the technological advancements and abundant resources of the 2020s. The opportunities, tools, and access to information available today create new doors and perspectives that simply weren’t possible even a decade ago, or when most of us began.  We hope you enjoy this fresh, insightful discussion with Blayn Marshall. You can learn more about Blayn at www.blaynmarshall.com and catch his trading insights on his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@Blayntrades.

    #144 Tracy Gapin, MD: Enhancing Trading Performance Through Physiological Insights

    At the core of exceptional trading is the individual trader—you! While we diligently focus on the transactional elements of trading, such as market analysis and risk management, we often neglect the importance of optimizing ourselves to engage effectively with these aspects. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked physiological dimension of trading with Dr. Tracy Gapin, founder and CEO of the Gapin Institute. As a leading expert in men's health and performance, Dr. Gapin specializes in helping senior executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and athletes enhance their health and performance. We delve into the critical relationship between mental and physical health, highlighting how internal processes significantly impact healthy cognitive function. A well-functioning cognitive process boosts trading productivity by facilitating clear market interpretation and fostering objectivity in decision-making. It reduces stress and anxiety, enabling more effective judgments and execution. Furthermore, it increases resilience in the face of setbacks, assists in managing risks and emotions, encourages acceptance of outcomes, and promotes detachment from ego—key components for continuous improvement and adaptability. Prioritizing your well-being also offers additional benefits: it can lead to a longer, healthier life, creating a true ‘win-win’ scenario. Join us for an insightful discussion that could transform your trading journey.

    #143 Rick Bandazian Jr: Mindset of a Sniper Trader

    In this episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, we sit down with Rick Bandazian, a seasoned event-driven trader who applies his own unique sniping style in the markets. With nearly 17 years of experience in eat-what-he-kills prop trading, Rick takes us on a journey through his trading philosophy, processes, and the mindset that has enabled his success. Originally hailing from the NJ/NYC area, Rick began his career as an investment banker at JPMorgan before being recruited as an event-driven analyst at First New York. After a stint helping launch a hedge fund with a portfolio manager, he later moved to the National Bank of Canada to focus on event-driven ideas and merger arbitrage. After the 2008 financial crisis, he returned to First New York, transitioning from analyst to trader. Now, with well over a decade of trading his own capital, Rick shares invaluable insights into his trading style, the risks he navigates, and the fears that accompany being a self-directed trader. Join us as we explore the intricacies of Rick's trading journey and the lessons learned along the way. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the mind of a skilled trader. Rick has also started a substack about a positioning experiment that has garnered a small following. - You can find out more about that at this link: https://offthetape.substack.com/p/macro-positioning-330-softs-and-wti AlphaMind: Powering Performance in Global Markets AlphaMind brings powerful change, growth and development to people and businesses within global markets.
