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.
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
The series runs from now well into the new year — a steady rhythm to reflect on 2025 and set the groundwork for 2026.
It’s a quiet ritual for traders, readers, and thinkers alike: part book club, part hangout, part practice of slowing down.
Subscribing also gives you full access to Asymmetrist — for now completely free — a growing library of essays, interviews, and reflections that already reads like a whole other book.
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 every other week!
Thank you,
