- Baseline Evaluation: Followup with Vanta Trading
As promised, the follow up discussion with Vanta Trading's Mr. Banks and Baba Yaga is here. Listen in as they offer Kyle some ideas and direction on how to improve his trading... From gaining confidence and patience to exit strategies and improving setups, they manage to cover a lot in a short amount of time!
Vanta has also extended their trial window to 14 days, giving everyone an opportunity to take advantage of the evaluation for free!
About Baba
Solving problems, helping set goals and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts, ranging from non-profits to real estate and everything inbetween. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the "inside out."
About Mr. Banks:
Working as a commercial banker and trading on the side helped Mr. Banks develop his trading style into what it is today. As a banker, his main thought is: “What’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?” Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives and limit the unknown factors.
About Vanta
When entities are profitable, they are considered "in the black", we took the concept of Vantablack, a brand name of super-black coatings with a reflectance below 1.5% in the visible spectrum...in other words, VERY BLACK. We guide, educate, provide community, and equip traders to understand the benefits of a consistent approach to the market. Founded by Mr. W Banks and BabaYaga with the goal of expediting the path to profitability for traders. Providing video reviews of trades as well as trade setups and methods-not a call out room for passive participants to listen in on- but telling, showing, guiding on things they have learned through their years of experience - members hear live conversations about positions, areas of interest, and overall process from the team. Vanta Trading is both a title and a goal, for traders to be deep in the black over the long haul.

The third installment of our dedicated options series kicks off with a great discussion between Blayne Macauley (Host of the Penny Lane Podcast) and Erik Smolinski (Creator of esInvests) about modifying your trading plan to fit your schedule, with Erik sharing some ideas that require less hands-on management. Afterwards, we review last week's homework and look at a paper trade by one of the students. Homework for this week is light, continue to refine your strategies and prepare for an open Q&A next time.
Check it out on YouTube if you want to be able to see Erik's screen!

About Erik:
Erik is a lifelong investor and self-made millionaire looking to share how others can achieve the same. He is hoping to share his experience with active and veteran military members to expose them to opportunities.
He came from a single parent low-income household, worked odd jobs as a kid, and began investing in high school. Erik wasn't going to attend college and planned to enlist in the Marines, but a mentor directed him to apply for a scholarship (which he earned). While he pursued his undergrad, he dug deeper into investing and trading - finding derivatives which he primarily trades. He completed over 6 years of active duty before transitioning to the reserves, earning an MBA during his last year. Erik then spread into real estate and angel investing as his means grew, to accelerate capital growth.
About Blayne:
At the age of 23, Blayne Macauley authored the 5th ranked real estate blog in the world. She started an art business in 2016, which she built into a 6-figure company within 3 years. In 2020 she founded The Penny Lane Podcast about retail trading, which was ranked among the top investing podcasts on iTunes and was featured in the New York Times. She is a daily market commentator, author of "The Intermediate Trader Blog," and podcast host for the Place Your Trades Network. She was featured in the documentary film The New Americans by Ondi Timoner.
Blayne has worked as the Marketing Director for a luxury real estate company, Beacham & Company, Realtors, for the past 17 years.

Joining Kyle in the China Shop this week is Pauli Walnuts, the man behind Pauli Probes the Markets! Listen in as Pauli shares how he got into trading after initially setting out to learn how to invest. From crossing paths with an infamous Pump and Dumper to the insanity of the meme stock craze, there were a lot of "learning" opportunities on Pauli's journey! We also discuss Pauli's struggle with ADHD along with his motivations for starting the Substack and discord!
About Pauli:
Pauli has been trading for four years. Having witnessed the small cap madness with AMC, he made and lost a fortune in the first few years of his trading career. Soon enough, when the market turned and many traders walked away from the market, Pauli continued to try and find a method in the madness and discovered the S&P 500 futures. In doing so he began sharing what he saw every day in his daily review at the start of 2023. Pauli now has over 4,000 followers on twitter and his daily blog is read in 47 states and 64 countries worldwide.
Being a Londoner, outside of trading Pauli enjoys following his favorite soccer (football) team and is a big fan of music. In soccer Pauli bleeds red for his beloved Arsenal, but his taste in music varies from jazz to hip-hop to reggae and country folk music, if it sounds good, he digs it!
Pauli wants to help traders of futures build a flourishing community and healthy comradery in what can be a lonely business, in doing so he has amassed a discord of over 700 futures traders and hopes to continue to build on the educational side of his blog posts all for free and all for the sake of building a community for newcomers and experienced traders to thrive in.

Joining Kyle in the China Shop this week is Tony Pawlak, full-time trader and Master coach with RealLifeTrading.com! Listen in as Tony shares his story and the lessons he learned from the many setbacks he encountered. From lacking a plan, to not enough EDU and missing risk management controls. Tony suffered through all the beginner mistakes and shows us how to make it out on the other side. And be sure to check out Tony's page at RealLifeTrading.com to take advantage of his generous offer!
About Tony:

He currently acts as a master coach with Real Life Trading, sharing successful market strategies learned from experience. For anyone interested in making money through the stock market, Real Life Trading offers an abundance of online educational resources, including a YouTube channel with 55k+ followers.

His openness, and even gratefulness, of his starting failures (he lost close to $100,000) can bring inspiration and support to individuals who are just beginning market trading or whose ventures have been fraught with loss. Tony wants others to benefit from the tough lessons he learned. He wants to share his unique market trading strategy, which he has not seen anywhere else, so others can succeed and reach the same financial freedom and independence that he now enjoys.
