- No Country for Bad Trades: The RSI Setup
In this episode, Kyle sits down with Cam to break down another piece of his trading system: the RSI strategy.
Unlike Gap and Go, which is built around momentum and breakouts, this setup is a mean-reversion strategy. The idea is simple: find strong stocks that are temporarily oversold, then look for the bounce.
Cam walks through how he uses a two-period RSI, why he looks for signals below 10, and how he exits once RSI recovers. He also explains why this works better on large-cap, institutionally supported names (especially Nasdaq 100 stocks) and why it falls apart when applied to smaller, lower-quality names.
The conversation also covers how RSI fits into a broader portfolio of strategies alongside Gap and Go, Close/Open, and Opening Range Break. Cam explains why diversifying by strategy can create a smoother equity curve, keep capital working in different market conditions, and reduce reliance on any single setup.
They also get into the practical side: how to size the trade, why earnings create the biggest tail risk, whether stop losses help or hurt, how options can be used to define risk, what delta and expiration ranges make sense, and why selling puts may be another way to express the same idea.
This episode is a deeper look at building a full trading system... Not just finding one setup but stacking strategies that complement each other.

This week we let ChatGPT help pick the news stories (which seemed like a good idea at the time), and honestly, it kind of worked.
We start with Russia reportedly having to buy gasoline after Ukrainian drone strikes hit their refinery capacity, which turns into a bigger conversation about energy markets, gasoline and diesel, and how cheap drones are completely changing the math of modern warfare.
Then we get into Japan potentially pushing its giant pension funds to bring more money back home, the AI trade still running through SK Hynix and GPU demand, and the Fed now treating AI infrastructure spending as one of the things keeping inflation hotter than expected.
So there is real market stuff in here.
But also, this is Dan and me, so we also talk about a squirrel getting loose in a Meta office, a bear breaking into a shopping mall on a military base, Britain trying to survive heat waves with better refrigerators and tiny fans, Pepsi making a very questionable Wild Cherry post in India, AI reading ancient Roman scrolls, Pompeii, Pink Floyd, and whether Wendy’s Biggie Bag is secretly one of the better recession trades on the board.

Kyle and Dan start with the June Fed meeting, rate cut expectations, and the problem with central banks refusing to give clear guidance. Then the conversation jumps from Russia’s interest rates and Ukraine’s drone warfare to Waymo recalls, delivery robots ignoring police orders, and whether old cruise-control stories were actually just time travelers making bad assumptions.
They also dig into the SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk’s supervillain status, data centers in space, AI simulations, media consolidation, Sam Bankman-Fried’s pardon request, stablecoin ID checks, and whether crypto actually has useful applications beyond speculation.
By the end, they’re debating blockchain use cases, Bitcoin mining as a heating system, data center energy demand, coal, Santa Claus, and why Dan’s mom once ruined Christmas coal by soaking it in water. It’s might as well be an afterhours episode…

Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy53m - Jun 26, 2026 - No Country for Bad Trades: Momentum
In this episode, Cam and Joel go deeper into the force behind the Gap and Go strategy: momentum.
Cam breaks down what momentum actually means in the market, why stocks can get repriced violently when institutions realize they were wrong, and how that repricing shows up through gaps, volume, and continuation. Using examples like AGL and HWM, they walk through why some stocks keep running long after most traders would have taken profits.
The conversation also digs into the data behind momentum trading, including R multiples, maximum favorable excursion, Monte Carlo testing, and why a small percentage of trades can account for the majority of returns.
They also cover one of the hardest questions in trading: when do you take profits, and when do you let the trade keep working?
Later in the episode, Cam explains how he’s using AI, backtesting, and his own trade history to study momentum, refine his process, and better understand where rules end and human judgment begins.

George shares what’s new at TradePro Academy, including the move away from Discord, the launch of a cleaner community platform on Circle, and a simplified one-price membership structure. He also talks about how the trading education space has changed, why traders often overload themselves with too much information, and why simplifying your process can make decision-making easier.

And because it’s George, the conversation also includes OnlyFans jokes, Florida iguanas, hockey, housing, Murphy’s Law, and why saying “please” to AI might be a future-proofing strategy.

** Available to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/bcggOmLmfm0 **
Most traders see a stock gap up 15–20% at the open and assume they missed the move.
This episode is about making that the beginning of the trade… not the end.
Cam and Joel break down the Gap and Go strategy: a momentum-based system designed to identify stocks that gap hard at the open and continue moving higher. The conversation covers the full framework, including:
- the exact screening criteria
- how to use the first 5-minute candle for entries
- stop placement and position sizing
- profit-taking rules based on risk multiples
- why float and volume matter
- and how the strategy was tested across thousands of trades over a 10-year period.
They also discuss:
- why the strategy works in both bull and bear markets
- how to manage a small account
- the role of institutional buying in momentum
- and why the best systems are often the most mechanical.
If you’ve ever struggled with chasing momentum (or skipping trades that never come back), this episode provides a structured framework for handling both.

In this episode, Cam and Joel move beyond theory and into real chart analysis, breaking down exactly how high-probability setups develop—and how experienced traders actually manage them.
Using real examples like HWM, GE, Tesla, and CAT, Cam walks through his full process: identifying clean setups, timing entries, scaling into positions, managing risk, and deciding when to take profits—or hold for larger moves.
But this episode goes deeper than just patterns. It explores why some charts work better than others, how institutional participation shapes price action, and why understanding market conditions can be the difference between a good trade and a great one.
If you want to see what a repeatable trading system looks like in practice, this is where it comes together.

In this episode of Band of Traders, Kyle and Dan take a live, unscripted tour through Polymarket, using it as a lens for market psychology, narrative formation, and content discovery.
What starts as curiosity about how prediction markets work quickly turns into a broader discussion about how these markets price probability, react to news, and create opportunities for thinking in options-style frameworks. Along the way, they explore everything from corporate earnings and central bank leadership to geopolitics, AI bubbles, celebrity culture, sports, and even chess championships.
Rather than treating Polymarket as a place to make bets, the conversation treats it as a real-time map of what people believe, fear, and expect to happen next—and how that information can be mined for ideas, trades, and better questions.

Dan and Rae join Kyle after watching Jake Paul's brutal loss to Anthony Joshua… Six rounds of running followed by getting his jaw broken in two places. They break down why the fight was less boxing match and more public execution, discuss whether we're obligated to keep watching Paul's fights, and debate if spectacle has completely replaced sport in modern entertainment.
Ray fills us in on her political aspirations: she's running for Ohio governor as a Republican to ensure voters have a choice on the primary ballot. The gang discusses closed primaries, political kayfabe, and why sometimes the art project IS the point.
Trump signs an executive order to reschedule marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 but what does that actually mean for dispensaries, research funding, and your weed stocks? The crew debates whether executive orders are just temporary wins that get undone every four years.
Plus: AI customer service is garbage (Kyle's Lowe's nightmare), why AI makes up 70% of its research, Peter Piper Pizza's AI phone ordering disaster, Darwin Awards haven't been given since 2022, frontrunners to replace Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, and why Germans use "Kevin" as an insult for annoying Americans.

The data broker industry generates $500 billion annually selling your information without permission. Valt is building the infrastructure to flip that model, giving users control of their data and the ability to monetize it themselves.
Founder Zac Wickstrom and CCO Jarrett Truett join us to explain why every previous attempt at building a data marketplace has failed, and how they're solving the fundamental chicken-and-egg problem. With an exclusive partnership with Sentinel's decentralized VPN, they're bringing in users now with a product people actually want, while building toward the ultimate goal: 10 million users earning $10+ monthly from their own data.
The technical breakthrough? EZI, a novel cryptographic protocol they invented that's 10,000x faster than standard zero-knowledge proofs. It enables data to be provably private yet still monetizable, solving the paradox that's plagued every data marketplace attempt.
Key Topics:
- Why engineers have more access to your data than you do
- The $500 billion data broker industry and why lawmakers want change
- How Valt defeated the data marketplace chicken-and-egg problem
- Exclusive Sentinel DVPN partnership as competitive moat
- EZI cryptographic protocol: 300 seconds vs. 42 days for data syncing
- Current traction: 20,000 MAU, revenue positive, 400% monthly growth
- Product roadmap: Valt AI for "Googling your life"
- Seed round details: $3M raise at $20M valuation targeting $1B at Series A
- Why data sovereignty is the next major consumer movement

Zac:
Zac Wickstrom is founder of Valt, building the world's first viable data marketplace. After dropping out of college and moving to San Francisco for App Academy, he worked at Power and Wayfair, where he realized engineers had far more access to user data than users themselves.
This insight led him to invent EZI, a cryptographic protocol 10,000x faster than standard zero-knowledge proofs, solving the fundamental challenge that's caused every data marketplace to fail. Backed by Gain Ventures with 20,000 monthly active users, Zac is building the platform that gives people control of their data while creating a new economy where individuals, not corporations, profit from personal information.

George:
A former mechanical engineering consultant with over a decade of hands-on design experience, George Hu made the leap into blockchain in 2018 after attending a Harvard blockchain conference that “hooked” him on its revolutionary potential.
Frustrated by failed ventures and the “chicken-and-egg” problem of product vs. funding, George taught himself modern coding (JavaScript, Solidity) and built Dunback Meadow from the ground up.
Dunback Meadow is a decentralized, multi-format content and AI agent marketplace… Think YouTube meets OpenSea meets Patreon but powered by blockchain. Creators upload podcasts, videos, art, 3D models, or AI agents and license them directly to humans or AI, with instant crypto payouts.
George’s vision: Become the economic layer of the “agentic web” - where trillions of AI agents transact autonomously, negotiate contracts, and pay each other in real time.
No middlemen. No ad revenue splits. Just creators owning their value.
