I sat down with my friend Ilya Zlotnik, who is also my financial advisor, because I keep seeing the same problem in the trading world…being a great trader doesn't make you a good investor. To break it down, I walk Ilya through five "trader avatars," so we can cover what someone might want to do with their money at every stage of their trading career. I also open up about my own journey from cleaning pools to building my early war chest, wasting time picking stocks when I thought I was "smart," dealing with real estate headaches, and eventually simplifying down to index funds after years of chasing complexity. My hope is that this conversation helps you actually hold onto and compound the money you work so hard to make.

🐂 I trade with Clear Street and we both value trader education and development. That is why they are my paid partner of choice!: https://tinyurl.com/ClearSt-Lance ___________________________ 📱Follow my socials: X: https://x.com/TheOneLanceB Insta: https://www.instagram.com/theonelanceb ___________________________ 🎥 I suggest you watch these next: Check out my other interviews here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdPbJ9p2Ao9sACNyEhgDO0sMgAC-WCTyR ___________________________ ABOUT ME

If you’re new to my channel, my name is Lance Breitstein. I spent over a decade trading equities at Trillium, setting the record for the highest PNL in a single year as their Top Trader. I trained dozens of traders to become successes while managing Trillium’s Chicago office. With over $100m in verified profits, I now spend my time focused on turning good traders into greats and greats into GOATs. Advisor to SMB Capital and mentor of 7- and 8-figure PER YEAR traders. I am to be profiled in the next edition of Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards.

The journey is never easy. Trading is one of the most difficult, but most rewarding jobs imaginable. I am here to help you on your path, wherever that leads you.

May you want it bad enough to overcome any obstacles. -(The One) Lance B ___________________________ DISCLOSURE Information shared here is for educational purposes only.
