Introducing Churning and Chatting, my new trader interview series.

20 years of trading, from the 2008 financial crisis to retail hyperscalping in the 2020s. Meet an ex-MBC prop trader, Knish, whose entire MO is to finish green every single day.

fired from a podshop today? want to do a tell all interview about the end of your career and the worst moment of your life--plz DM ill make funny cartoons about it and itll maybe get 1k views.

I still laugh re-reading these stories and Pete’s epic cartoons. For the record, Pete drew that cartoon never having seen what the gift wrapping prank (pictured) ACTUALLY looked like! Shoutout @CryptoGoo5e 🤣👊

Additional comments from me:
-As an office manager, I was SO a massive asshole at times.
-My goal was to push everyone to be their best. Not always productively. As one of my trainees says, exact same as how MJ gets described in The Last Dance.
-I cared so much about all of my trainees, all of us, reaching their full potential and I was in the trenches leading by example.
-For all the money… the best memories of my career were the laughs, the friendships, and the work outings. My god, the ridiculous stories of wins, losses, and crazy office antics. I should be in jail or hell for the pranks and jokes I made. Statute of limitations, sorry Cary Grill! 🚫🤐
-IMO, at @TRLM… you competed against, were driven nuts by, and loved every single person around you all at the same time. A beautiful borderline toxically competitive environment of young hungry traders. God bless capitalism’s purest form!
-By definition, most trainees don’t make it but im damn proud of the many millionaires I printed in that office. They did all the work, I gave them the path. And to those that didn’t make it, I hope I prepared you for whatever came next in your life. So much respect to all my trainees, the many I’ve stayed in touch with and seeking forgiveness from those I didn’t 🤣
-I think the end of the article is the most important part. We only perceive others through our own experience and values. I could never understand why trainees didn’t share the hunger or intensity I did. Many on X don’t understand why I do what I do. With maturity, we come to realize that we all are unique and acting out our own values.

To all my Trillium brothers, trainees, and fans… what a wild ride it’s been 🙏❤️

$OMH looks brutal. What other stocks have gone from 3 to 12 to 3 to 12+ like that? That’s the type of move that destroys Professor Boring type of systems that rely on higher timeframe backside signals.

New post by tomorrow or earlier unless I’m just a massive gigantic procrastinating piece of shit loser

Huge upset last night! Terminally online dems are funnier than terminally online righties.

I laughed a little after Nov 2024. I laughed uproariously this morning. I think getting labeled the humorless side really compelled lefties to up their meme game.

by popular demand I have installed a dark mode--just click the bottom right hand moon icon. looks ugly to me but some people have to protect their eyes i guess 🙄

Churning and Chatting #3: Meet Crash, a $50 million trader who takes pain shorting parabolic moves.

churningandburning.com/2026/10/churni…

Met a “failed trader” today (his words). Been at it since 2021.

You have to eat a lot of shit to make it in this game. Best sign he’s built to do that? He’s still an optimistic Jets fan.

Inspired by @peterkto latest interview with 'Crash'

Shorting parabolics has huge edge, and is mechanically much easier than breakouts. But timing can still be difficult..

This chart sums it up pretty well (‼️never before seen stats)
