Watch now as Jason Shapiro provides powerful insights into his unique price action trading strategies and contrarian approach to reading trader positioning charts across the stock market, futures, and currencies. We’ll explore the exact methods Jason uses—as a successful trader and featured Market Wizard—to fade crowded positioning, navigate extreme volatility, and identify high-reward/low-risk opportunities by watching the tape. Learn how to ignore the "fake narratives" and focus on the news failures and positioning data that actually move the needle in today’s markets.
Retail traders are obsessed with finding online gurus who promise a 90% win rate. The reality? The greatest institutional traders in the world only win about 57% of the time.
In this discussion, Jason Shapiro sits down with a macro market veteran to break down the massive disconnect between retail expectations and professional risk management. They expose why algorithmic trading actually creates "free money" for patient humans, how the massive 2020 pandemic liquidity injections crushed traditional models, and why learning from "The Perfect Failure" is the only way to survive in this business.
Dive deep into the "Five Pillars" framework of professional macro trading. Learn why tracking the MOVE index is vastly more important than the VIX, how to track non-traditional global liquidity, and why holding absolute loyalty to any asset—whether it is Bitcoin, Gold, or Equities—will ultimately destroy your portfolio.
