Theme Park Economics for Traders
What a Seasonal Business Can Teach You About Cutting Trading Losses
Imagine you own a theme park.
Giant rollercoasters, kiddie rides, overpriced snacks — the whole lot.
You look at your year-end numbers and think:
“Damn. I’m running this thing full-time and still losing money. Maybe I need to shut it down and start trading the S&P for a living…”
But then you dig into the numbers and realise:
Spring & summer? Crushed it.
Winter? Dead. Empty. Bleeding cash.
The fix?
THE FIX
Close for winter.
Cut the overhead.
Turn it into a profitable business.
Same logic applies to your trading.
Your P&L might look messy…
But maybe the answer isn’t more effort, more trades, or a new strategy.
Maybe it’s removing the one thing that quietly ruins your edge. What’s your trading winter?
The breakout you always chase?
The FOMO scalp after a big win?
The oversized revenge trade?
The Friday afternoon boredom trade?
Whatever it is, cutting it could change your trajectory. That’s the idea behind today’s new podcast episode:
