Stream of Consciousness is a new Asymmetrist Live series: a slow, meandering investigation of Traders of Our Time, one chapter every two weeks.
Think of it as a small Asymmetrist book club—a chance to read or reread the book together, to pause on key passages, and to extend the ideas beyond the page.
Each session features close readings, new stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and reflections that have since been woven into Asymmetrist.
Asymmetrist itself is really the continuation of Traders of Our Time—a kind of Traders of Our Time II—and these streams live somewhere in between.
Previous Streams & Show Notes:
What to Expect
Revisit key moments and ideas from the book—expanding or forking them in light of what’s happened since.
Meet new stories and new ideas that have emerged after the book’s release.
Take part in a live conversation — ask questions in chat or during the stream; they will be answered live or in the following session.
Enjoy light “homework”: reading the next chapter before the next stream.
Move at a slow, thoughtful pace—these are not quick or flashy broadcasts, but reflective, long-form sessions designed to be savoured.
Why Join
It’s a quiet ritual: part book club, part conversation, part practice of slowing down.
The live format matters. You can read carefully, ask questions in the moment, and interact directly with me as the session unfolds. The weekend timing is deliberate—a good place to think, outside the trading week.
It’s also a way back into the book: to reread it with fresh eyes, or to read it properly for the first time.
Subscribers—free or paid—also receive the Idea Index: experimental notes and open R&D thoughts from the frontier of our profession, alongside occasional open essays from Asymmetrist.
One step is enough: join, read, and take part.
A Note Sent To Our Current Readers:
“I really want this to feel like an unrushed stream. A cozy one.
Something you can sit by the fireplace and sink into — especially for those who might find themselves more alone around Thanksgiving, Christmas, or the New Year.
We’ll move slowly and freely through ideas, trading and non-trading alike — embracing the long form that Asymmetrist stands for.
These sessions are a small ritual of reading, reflection, and companionship — something to do together, every two weeks.”
Stay Updated
Each stream will have its own unique link, but subscribers will receive automatic notifications before every broadcast—along with the next chapter to read.
See you there!
