This week Steve Goldstein and Mark Randall are joined by Lance Breitstein, one of the traders featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards: The Next Generation.

Lance first read the Market Wizards series as a student, and years later he became one of the traders in it. Before that, though, he spent two years at Trillium Trading losing money, including a whole month when he lost every single day, and had the head of HR come down to ask what was going wrong. He talks openly about nearly quitting, setting himself a six-month “stop loss” on his career, and then breaking through to months where he made a year’s salary in a week.

This isn’t an episode about secret indicators. It’s about the human side of trading: what it really takes to make it, why most people never do, and why, for those with realistic expectations and a powerful reason to keep going, it can still be one of the most rewarding careers there is.

In this episode:

• The three pillars of performance: natural talent, how hard you work, and how effective those hours are
• Why hard work means something very different to most people, and the trap of doing the “comfortable” work
• Finding your powerful why, the reason that keeps you going when every sign says quit
• Why retail success rates fall well below 1% once influencers and funded-trader programmes get involved
• Delayed gratification, and why trading’s learning curve is better than most performance careers
• “Reality is undefeated”: making career decisions on expected value
• How sleep, drinking and lifestyle show up directly in your P&L

About Lance Breitstein

Lance Breitstein is a professional trader and educator with more than 15 years of experience in the markets. He became one of Trillium Trading’s top performers, setting the firm’s all-time annual P&L record with roughly $17 million in profits in 2020, and has generated more than $100 million in verified trading profits over his career. Lance was recently featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards: The Next Generation.

In this episode of the AlphaMind podcast, we sit down with Thor Young, who took the long way round into trading, starting out in IT before making the leap. Thor's refreshingly honest about the early days, blowing up more than one account before he finally scrapped his original strategy and built a systematic approach that actually suited who he is, not who he thought he should be. He talks about how meditation and a good community helped him get through the mental side of it, and why the real battle isn't the market, it's sticking to your own system when a drawdown is testing your nerve.

He also opens up about juggling trading with a full-time job and family life, including raising a neurodivergent child. It's a warm, honest part of the conversation, and one we think a lot of people will see themselves in, whether they trade or not.

Thor is the author of A Complete Day Trading System (2021) and has personally mentored hundreds of traders, helping them build greater discipline, consistency, and confidence in their execution. Today he trades live daily while mentoring alongside his partner, Dr. Vanessa Charland, through Market Alchemists, where together they continue developing systematic approaches and tools designed to bring clarity and structure to the trading process.

What Trading Can Learn From The Body Keeps the Score

with Steven Goldstein and Mark Randall

A trader knows the right move — and physically can’t make it. This episode is about why, and what trauma research reveals about performing under financial risk.

Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score has become required reading in trading circles — not because trading is trauma, but because the same nervous system mechanics trauma research has mapped in detail also govern how traders behave under pressure. Steven Goldstein and Mark Randall break down five lessons from the book and translate each one directly into the language of risk, drawdowns, and decision-making under threat.

What you’ll learn

•     Why the rational, decision-making part of the brain goes offline under perceived threat — and why “just follow the plan” fails in the moment

•     How neuroception, the nervous system’s unconscious scanning for danger, shows up as physical sensation before a trade goes wrong

•     Why a single catastrophic loss can fragment a trader’s whole sense of self, not just their P&L

•     Why journaling and post-mortem analysis alone rarely change behavior — and what bottom-up, body-based work adds

•     Why co-regulation with another person, not solo reflection, is often what lets a dysregulated nervous system reset

“The market doesn’t care about your story, but your body is keeping score whether you’re listening to it or not.”

In 2000, a young Japanese trader named Takashi Kotegawa (better known as BNF) began trading small-cap stocks from his bedroom with just $13,500. Eight years later, he had turned that modest stake into a staggering $153 million.

This legendary feat serves as the anchor for a recent viral X post by veteran trader Ryan Scott (aka The Flow Horse). Ryan’s post (linked below) argues a provocative truth: despite the cynics, it remains entirely possible to build a fortune in the markets. But if the opportunity is real, why do so few actually succeed?

In this episode, we welcome back veteran trader Matt "Pax" Kenah to dissect this debate. We explore the deep psychological, mental, and behavioral hurdles all traders face, specifically focusing on the challenges of transitioning to a home-trading environment and the discipline required to become one of the elite few who truly thrive.

“When a trader stops trying to fix themself, and starts understanding themself, that's when trading can really transform. “ – Andrew Menaker – The AlphaMind Podcast 

In this episode, we explore how performance coaching transforms traders’ mindsets, sharpens decision-making under pressure, and builds routines that sustain a long-term edge.

Hosts Steven Goldstein and Mark Randall sit down with performance coach and professional trader Andrew Menaker to examine the psychological shifts that drive lasting improvement in trading performance.

While many view trading as a technical challenge—charts, systems, strategy—Andrew argues the greatest gains come from transforming the person behind the P&L. Through coaching, traders develop self-mastery, which produces clearer decision-making, healthier risk-taking, and greater resilience—leading to significant improvements in performance.

In this episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, host Steven Goldstein shares a personal reflection on the transformative power of the “Reset” in trading.

Navigating the challenging world of markets requires more than just technical skill—it’s also about mastering mindset and resilience. In this context, the Reset is a powerful tool that helps traders reconnect with the present moment, regain focus, and clear mental clutter that can hinder performance.

Steven reflects on his own trading journey and how it led him to become a performance coach. He explores how implementing a Reset allows traders to shift from emotional reactions to calm, focused decision-making, ultimately enhancing their effectiveness and consistency.

Whether you’re facing a tough trading session or seeking to refine your mental approach, embracing the Reset can be a game-changer. Tune in as Steven discusses how this simple yet profound concept can elevate your trading mindset, foster greater self-awareness, and help you perform at your best—even amidst market chaos.

Welcome to a very special milestone—Episode 150 of the AlphaMind Podcast. To celebrate this achievement, we’ve recorded an extraordinary episode with one of the most successful and respected private traders in the trading sphere: Mark Minervini. 

Over the years, Mark—also featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards—has been a top request from our listeners. We’re thrilled to finally sit down with him and explore the mindset, perspectives, and strategies that have powered his remarkable 45-year trading career. 

In this episode, Mark generously shares his personal journey, starting from very humble beginnings. Growing up in poverty, dropping out of school early, and initially pursuing a career in music, Mark's path was anything but conventional. He recounts his early years filled with failures, blow-ups, and account losses—a recurring pattern in his first five years in the markets. Yet through perseverance, he developed the processes, mindset, and attitudes that ultimately created his success.
 
Mark’s story is an inspiring testament to resilience, process development, and a winning philosophy—one he now shares broadly through his writings, mentoring, and educational programs. His insights have helped countless traders start with their own capital and realize their dreams of success. 

We’re honoured to present this in-depth conversation with Mark Minervini, whose experience and wisdom continue to inspire traders worldwide.

Welcome to episode 149 of the AlphaMind Podcast. Unlike most episodes that feature seasoned traders with decades of experience, today we’re delighted to speak with Blayn Marshall, someone who is still in the early chapters of his trading career, navigating the initial challenges and lessons that come with it. 

Blayn began his trading journey facing the common hurdles many new private and retail traders encounter—initial losses, steep learning curves, and the pursuit of
consistency. Recognizing the potential of automation and systematic strategies
in today’s landscape, he has shifted his focus toward building multiple
automated trading systems. Using a disciplined, low-risk approach, he is now
starting to see the rewards of his efforts. 

What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is gaining insights from
someone who is starting out in a very different environment—one shaped by the
technological advancements and abundant resources of the 2020s. The
opportunities, tools, and access to information available today create new
doors and perspectives that simply weren’t possible even a decade ago, or when
most of us began. 

We hope you enjoy this fresh, insightful discussion with Blayn Marshall.

At the core of exceptional trading is the individual trader—you! While we diligently focus on the transactional elements of trading, such as market analysis and risk management, we often neglect the importance of optimizing ourselves to engage effectively with these aspects.

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked physiological dimension of trading with Dr. Tracy Gapin, founder and CEO of the Gapin Institute. As a leading expert in men's health and performance, Dr. Gapin specializes in helping senior executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and athletes enhance their health and performance.

We delve into the critical relationship between mental and physical health, highlighting how internal processes significantly impact healthy cognitive function. A well-functioning cognitive process boosts trading productivity by facilitating clear market interpretation and fostering objectivity in decision-making. It reduces stress and anxiety, enabling more effective judgments and execution. Furthermore, it increases resilience in the face of setbacks, assists in managing risks and emotions, encourages acceptance of outcomes, and promotes detachment from ego—key components for continuous improvement and adaptability.

Prioritizing your well-being also offers additional benefits: it can lead to a longer, healthier life, creating a true ‘win-win’ scenario.

Join us for an insightful discussion that could transform your trading journey.

Everyone wants to achieve as much as possible with minimal effort and pain, often seeking "cheat codes." However, some realize that maximizing rewards requires working smarter and acknowledging that risk-taking involves discomfort. These individuals embrace, manage, and learn from risks rather than looking for shortcuts, making them more likely to succeed.

When I started trading, I, too, wanted to gain without experiencing pain. Over the years and through many challenges, I learned that true success lies in engaging with the discomfort that comes from taking risks.

Success in trading extends beyond analysis, systems, and methods. While being competent in these areas is essential, they are only foundational. Achieving game-changing success requires a deeper understanding of trading and an awareness of what you are up against.

To transform your trading, you must develop advanced skills, comprehend market challenges, and navigate the complex systems at play. This involves recognizing the three intertwined challenges of trading:

1. Your understanding of the external market environment.
2. Your self-awareness and engagement with your internal environment.
3. Your process for achieving specific outcomes as you navigate both of the above environments.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned trader, this episode offers valuable insights into "Developing Yourself as a Trader," a field rarely explored yet so crucial to success.

As part of this episode, we highlight our new High Performance Trader Learning Programme launching in March, the first ever comprehensive programme looking as Trader Development.

We welcome back the brilliant Jason Shapiro for the fourth time as a guest on the AlphaMind Podcast. Jason, a talented trader featured in Jack Schwager’s book ‘Unknown Market Wizards,’ where he is famously known as 'the contrarian,' always has powerful and deeply insightful views on the art and challenges of trading. In this episode, he generously shares insights into his unique trading philosophy, illuminating the nuanced approach that distinguishes him in the trading landscape.

In this episode, we focus more closely on what it takes to be a trader at the personal, psychological, and behavioural levels. As Jason says, it's not so much about what's on the outside, but what's on the inside that matters.

Listeners, whether you are beginners or experienced traders, will find invaluable guidance from Jason, including understanding how your analysis fits in with what you are trying to achieve as a trader when taking risks, being realsitic about your returns and performance, dealing with discomfort, learning from the past, and mustering the courage to take a contrarian position when your analysis supports it. Join us as we delve into the mind of this exceptional trader whose unconventional strategies continually reshape the dynamics of the trading world.

Join us for an engaging episode as we delve into the world of investing with Chris Vermeulen, a seasoned financial expert with over 25 years of experience. Chris challenges conventional investing wisdom by advocating an innovative approach he calls Asset Revesting. This method empowers investors to achieve higher returns, lower drawdowns, and even profit during bear markets by owning only assets that are rising in value.

Chris is the founder of TheTechnicalTraders.com, a platform offering Asset Revesting signals and education on technical analysis, position management, and risk management strategies. He is also the author of "Technical Trading Mastery" and his latest book, "Asset Revesting," which explores this groundbreaking investment style.

With his philosophy rooted in capital preservation over the traditional buy-and-hold strategy, Chris argues that diversification might be risky for mature investors. Instead, he suggests focusing on rising assets while avoiding those in decline, using technical analysis to spot and confirm trends. This approach can help investors achieve above-average returns while minimizing risk.

In today's episode, Chris shares his unique investment strategy, emphasizing how capital preservation should come first, followed by growth. With extensive experience advising over 20,000 self-directed traders, Chris provides insights into making money in all market conditions with reduced risk.

In this week's episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, we welcome Pradeep Bonde of StockBee, a highly regarded trader in the retail trading community. Pradeep entered the trading world later in his career after a successful tenure as the head of marketing for DHL and FedEx in India. His passion for trading was ignited when he spent time alongside a colleague who actively traded the markets. Captivated by his colleague’s approach, Pradeep embarked on a love affair with trading, but the journey to success was anything but smooth.

In the early stages of his trading career, Pradeep experienced the classic rollercoaster ride that many new traders face, marked by significant wins followed by devastating losses. Although he had a strong appetite for risk, the emotional toll of this tumultuous trading style began to negatively impact his mental well-being. Recognizing the need for a change, Pradeep drew on his robust background in business and logistics to restructure his trading approach. He developed favoured setups and adopted a strategy of taking partial profits, and hitting singles, which involves compounding multiple small wins. 

In this insightful episode, Pradeep shares his journey and the wisdom he’s gained along the way. He discusses the classic mistakes that many traders make, such as failing to establish a clear trading process and falling victim to the ‘island mentality’ whereby they focus on getting rich quickly with dreams of an island home and luxury cars, instead of mastering the more mundane yet essential art of consistently making money.

Join us for this enlightening discussion filled with valuable lessons from Pradeep Bonde, as he offers practical advice to help traders navigate their own journeys in the ever-evolving trading landscape.

Join us for an enlightening episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, where we delve into the transformative world of performance coaching for traders. Hosted by AlphaMind's own Randall and Steven Goldstein, this engaging discussion features Kim Ann Curtin, famously known as The Wall Street Coach. 

In this dynamic conversation, we explore how performance coaching serves as a vital catalyst for traders, empowering them to unlock substantial improvements in their trading performance. Kim-Ann shares with us the critical role of coaching in enhancing self-awareness and facilitating personal discovery, helping traders achieve their fullest potential while navigating the complexities of the financial markets.

We'll also confront a pressing issue—the hesitation many traders and trading firms feel when it comes to seeking coaching and performance enhancement. As we compare this mindset to the culture in other high-performance arenas, particularly elite sports, we highlight a stark contrast. In sports, engaging with coaches is the norm, while many in trading continue to struggle with the belief that they must not seek additional help.

This episode further examines the self-sabotaging attitudes that often prevail, especially among men, who may dismiss the idea of asking for help. Despite compelling evidence from research showing the transformative impact and impressive return on investment of performance coaching—the median ROI is around 700%, though in almost a fifth of cases it was around 5000%*—the trading industry has yet to foster a robust culture of continuous improvement.

Discover invaluable insights and perspectives that challenge the status quo and encourage both traders and firms to embrace performance coaching as a powerful avenue for growth and success. Tune in now to learn how investing in coaching can lead to profound and transformative outcomes!

To be a great trader, you have to be a great learner as well as a continual learner. This includes learning about yourself, who you are, what you do, and how you do it. However, if we don't have feedback systems that allow us to see ourselves and our actions more objectively, we will always view ourselves through the lens of our biases and ego. This is why using a journaling tool is so valuable.

In this compelling episode, we welcome back the duo behind Tradeciety and the brilliant online trader journaling tool, Edgewonk: Rolf Schlotmann and Moritz Czubatinski. These two trader journaling experts know all about the challenges and benefits of trader journaling, including the personal challenges that arises in committing to an activity that many acknowledge as incredibly beneficial but which they too often neglect. This neglect is akin to an athlete shying away from their full training routines, which eventually sees them losing out to those athletes who do fully embrace their full training routines.

This episode delves deep into the art of journaling and its capacity to enhance peak performance. Rolf and Moritz also provide valuable insights into the evolution of Edgewonk, a tool that has facilitated the creation of nearly 60,000 individual trading journals. They share how traders leverage their cutting-edge platform and provide a glimpse into the forthcoming enhancements planned for Edgewonk.

We are thrilled to extend an exclusive offer to AlphaMind listeners: a $20 discount on Edgewonk by using the voucher code "alphamind20" during checkout.

Our exploration extends beyond elite athletes to encompass the necessity of excellence in trading and investing activities, uncovering the shared principles of an elite mindset across diverse fields.

Join us as Simon emphasizes the transformative power of actions over mere thoughts, unveiling the path to inner peace, joy, and fulfilment by reconnecting with oneself at the core.

It is all to easy to think the answer to success in trading solely hinges on top-tier analysis and the application of sophisticated trading approaches and systems. However, overlooking the essential factor of nurturing and optimising the person doing the analysis and applying their trading decisions within the volatile and uncertain context of markets is a critical oversight.

This week we tackled this topic with Louisa Nicola, a renowned neurophysiologist and human performance coach, who is a visionary in the realm of optimising high performance in trading, investing and business.

During the interview, Louisa emphasised the symbiotic relationship between physical well-being and cognitive performance. She articulated how nutrition, good quality sleep, and physical exercise fuels not only the body but also the mind, enhancing decision-making abilities, and the vital mental resilience crucial for navigating the dynamic and uncertain landscape of trading.

Louisa's insights should inspire and empower you to adopt a comprehensive approach to your own lives, acknowledging the profound impact of wellness on your success in your work as a trader and beyond.

In this insightful episode, we sat down with Adam Birkett, the Global Trading Lead at Cargill Ocean Transportation division, which trades physical and derivative cargo, freight, and shipping products globally across all major markets, to delve into the profound concept of "The Power of Non-Attachment in Trading."

Adam has spent nearly his entire career at Cargill Ocean Transportation. He has been a trader, led a major trading team, worked in Risk Management, and then transitioned to becoming the lead for the trading side of the business, overseeing over 80 traders across multiple centres worldwide.

At the core of our conversation lies a fundamental principle: the ability of traders to distance themselves from ego-driven impulses and negative outcomes while making critical decisions amidst market turbulence. Adam eloquently describes how seasoned traders master the art of non-attachment, disentangling their identities from their trading activities, whilst also candidly acknowledging how challenging this is to do and sustain in real-time.

Adam discusses how, by detaching from ego-based desires and fears of negative outcomes, traders can achieve greater mental clarity and emotional equilibrium. This enables them to navigate the unpredictable waters of the market with a calmer, more rational mindset. Adam emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's trading process and not succumbing to impulsive reactions to market fluctuations and unfavourable outcomes.

In this enlightening chat, Adam illustrates his views with real-world examples from his extensive experience, speaks candidly about his own humbling episodes in his career, and shares some insights into the work they do at Cargill to aid better decision-making and performance across their highly successful business.

This week we talk with Robert Van Eyden, author of Badass Trader: How to Trade Your Way to Riches

Robert is a true veteran of the markets with over three decades of invaluable experience in the dynamic world of markets, predominantly in his home country, South Africa.

Robert's remarkable journey has seen him excel as an analyst, trader, investor, lecturer, and wealth manager. Currently he serves as the CEO of IG Markets South Africa.

The central premise of "Badass Trader" revolves around the tantalizing notion that as barriers to entry for traders have diminished, the doors have been opened to a realm of untapped potential and virtually boundless earning capabilities for people keen to develop their own trading practice.

However, there is a twist, and that is that though it appears deceptively easy is, it is in truth, a hazardous journey fraught with challenges and dangers which very few are able to successfully navigate.

That is why Robert says, ‘trading is the hardest way to make easy money’.

Within the pages of "Badass Trader," Robert delves deep into the crux of the matter, dissecting the hurdles that obstruct the path to success. Drawing from his wealth of experience, he generously imparts the mindsets, mantras, and principles that can safeguard traders from the snares laid out by the unpredictable markets.

Tune in now to hear Robert talk about his own painful experiences in markets and what he learned from them, that inspired him to write ‘Badass Trader’.

Life, markets and trading, often tries to wear you down, challenging your confidence, and shattering your self-belief.

This week's guest on the AlphaMind Podcast takes us on a unique journey, deviating from our usual guests. Once you hear what she has to say, you'll hopefully recognise its relevance not only to your trading but also to much broader and deeper aspects of your work and life.

Maria Iliffe-Wood is a seasoned Executive Coach and specialist in Leadership Development. She is the author of two books, one aimed at coaches, focusing on developing their coaching presence, a vital skill in coaching and other high-performance fields. However, it's her recently published second book, 'A Caged Mind,' that inspired us to invite Maria to the AlphaMind podcast.

At AlphaMind, our primary focus is  on  individuals who take on the role of traders, and other challenging high performance roles, in the complex and uncertain worlds they inhabit, and how they can bring the best of themselves to their work and these challenges.

They face constant tests from the outside world which seek to expose their weaknesses, undermine their processes and behaviours, and attempting to hinder them from achieving the sort of high-performance they are potentially capable of.  This battle largely happens within them, and this is where the real battle for success happens.

Maria's book delves into her own journey through life, grappling with her own challenges and life's trials. She shares her throughs and reflections on her travails, from the perspective of someone who has come through her difficult challenges, and emerged on the other side, a stronger, better and far happier person for it.

Maria's story is all of our stories, and thus encourages introspection about one's own life journey and the obstacles faced. Her experiences can be applied to you and your own work, enabling you to embrace to reflect upon how you can embrace you own innate wisdom and bring it to every aspect of your professional life.

The full title of Maria's book is: "A Caged Mind: How Spiritual Understanding Changed a Life". It can be purchased on Amazon at this link here.

Clive Ponsonby graduated from Cambridge University as a Mathematician and then ventured into the dynamic and unpredictable world of Spot FX trading in the 1990s. This move was unconventional for someone with a highly academic background, transitioning to an environment dominated by fast-paced, streetwise, and quick-witted traders, many of whom hailed from non-academic backgrounds.

Clive developed a deep passion for this wild world and quickly applied his own skills and abilities to excelling in this space. Over the next two decades, Clive thrived in FX trading, securing positions at some of the world's leading Investment Banks. His journey started at Bankers Trust, a renowned hub of trading talent in the 1980s and 1990s, followed by the Swiss Banking giant UBS, and finally culminating at JP Morgan, where he served as an Executive Director of FX trading until his departure from the banking world in 2018.

In this interview, Clive candidly shares his experiences as a trader, delving into the challenges of applying various types of analysis in the trading process. He also explores the essential mindset, behaviours, and attitudes necessary for effective analysis in trading, while expressing his passion for the exhilarating trading floor atmosphere, particularly during significant events like the monthly Non-Farm Payrolls.

In the enticing world of trading, where money, glory, and glamour beckon, millions are drawn each year, hoping to strike it rich. Yet, only a fraction ever truly succeed, and even those who do often emerge battered, bruised, and occasionally traumatized.

In this week's podcast, we have the privilege of speaking with someone who has traversed the unpredictable landscape of trading, enduring numerous ups and downs along the way. Meet David Hale, a seasoned proprietary trader with over two decades of experience. David's firsthand account is chronicled in his self-published book, 'Cash Rules: Reminiscences of a Prop Trader.' Unlike the glossy portrayal often associated with trading, David presents an unvarnished and honest perspective.

During our conversation, David delves into the dizzying heights of triumph and the heart-wrenching lows of failure, recounting tales of immense gains and devastating losses. He fearlessly explores the depths of despair and the arduous journey to recovery. Additionally, David generously shares his insights and experiences on how one can truly make money in the world of prop trading. His refreshingly candid book sets the tone for our conversation, where authenticity takes center stage.

David bravely acknowledges his own flaws and candidly discusses how they have often exacted a toll over the years. It's a rarity to encounter a trader willing to confront their weaknesses head-on. However, we all possess our own imperfections, and it is those who acknowledge and comprehend how these flaws impact their trading that tend to have a far greater chance of success.

If you're captivated by David's story, I encourage you to explore his book, 'Cash Rules: Reminiscences of a Prop Trader.' Available in both paperback and Kindle formats, it offers an insightful and thought-provoking read. To get your copy, simply visit this Amazon website link.

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of 'Radical Responsibility' with Mandi Rafsanjani, a performance coach who specializes in trading psychology. 

Mandi defines Radical Responsibility as an extreme form of accountability, where one takes full ownership of their actions and the outcomes, even in the face of external events beyond their control.

 Mandi first came across this concept while working with trading legend Linda Raschke, who demonstrated exceptional resilience and adaptability in dealing with setbacks - a common occurrence in the world of trading. 

Inspired by Linda's approach, discusses with us how practicing Radical Responsibility can help traders develop the emotional fitness required to navigate the highs and lows of the market.

In this vibrant conversation, we explore the nuances of Radical Responsibility and its relevance to trading, and its connections to building self-awareness, developing a mindset for high performance trading, and reframing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth.

Whether you're a trader or not, the concept of Radical Responsibility has something to offer in terms of taking ownership of your life and achieving your goals. So join us as we explore this powerful mindset and how it can revolutionise your approach to trading.
