In this interview, I sit down with David Hanlin (aka the Laptop Legend), who’s made over $13M trading—and he’s still making six-figure mistakes.
We break down:
• What a “round trip” really is (and why it’s so frustrating)
• How traders can be up $100K–$300K… and give it all back
• Why choppy markets + FOMO trap even experienced traders
• The small adjustment David made that instantly turned things around
This is real trading at a high level—wins, losses, and everything in between. No sugarcoating.
