Why Smart Traders Still Blow Up Their Options Accounts

May 6, 2026·41 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

High probability doesn't mean low risk. That one misunderstanding is behind more blown accounts than any bad strategy, and it's a lot easier to fall into than most traders realize. This episode breaks down why traders lose big on options even when the odds look good — and what's really going on when a trade that "should have worked" takes out a significant chunk of an account. Andy, Noah, and Corey cover position sizing, the psychology of loss aversion, and why the recovery instinct after a bad trade often leads to even bigger mistakes. If you've ever thought "one good trade will fix this," this episode will change how you think about risk — and about what it actually takes to last in this market.
