About this episode

Zander Odom shares his journey from a young trader to building a systematic trading approach while overcoming personal challenges.

In this episode of The Trader's Journey, Anthony sits down with Zander Odom, a young trader who skipped college to pursue trading full-time—and built a systematic edge through backtesting, risk management, and relentless self-improvement. Zander shares how he first discovered trading at 13, why small caps became his focus, and how he moved from random chart-based decisions to a structured playbook built around defined entries, exits, risk, and backtested samples. Zander discusses the snowboarding accident that left him paralyzed, how he rebuilt his trading setup with adaptive hardware and voice tools, and why trading became a blessing that allowed him to continue pursuing his purpose.
