Episode #57 From Patterns to Profits: Bill Fanter’s Trading Framework

In the latest episode of The Queen of Automation, I sat down with Bill Fanter, a live trading educator who makes the stock market feel a whole lot less intimidating. Bill is based in Las Vegas, ironically, he doesn’t gamble, and instead focuses on helping people “be the house” in the market by trading with discipline and strategy.

We dove into the psychology behind trading, why 80% of success comes from mindset and only 20% from technical skills, and how greed and fear move the markets. Bill shared why chasing “hot tips” on TikTok is a recipe for disaster, the importance of risk management, and why you should never trade more than 10% of your account balance. He also walked me through how he built a thriving online community where members can watch him trade live alongside other professional analysts, get a free weekly watch list, and take part in his masterclass, all powered by automation that keeps his business running like clockwork.

One of my favorite moments was hearing how Bill’s students are now bringing their kids into the program, teaching high schoolers and young adults not just how to trade, but how to understand market technicals for long-term wealth building. We also got into the nitty-gritty of trading technology, the quirks of platforms like Think or Swim, and why even the best systems can still be at the mercy of internet service providers.

If you’ve ever been curious about live trading, automation in financial education, or building an engaged membership community, you’ll get a ton of insight from this conversation.
