Day Trading Plumber

Matt Simpson is a professional buyer in the construction industry who trades on the side -- and that blue-collar authenticity is the entire appeal of Day Trading Plumber. This isn't some Wall Street insider or finance guru dispensing wisdom from a corner office. It's a working guy sharing what he's learned from trading options and forex while holding down a full-time job. The show has a perfect 5.0 rating on Apple Podcasts, though that's from a small pool of 17 reviews. Still, those reviewers consistently praise Matt for being upfront about the risks of trading. He doesn't sugarcoat the losses or pretend every week is profitable. That honesty resonates with listeners who are tired of the "quit your job and trade from the beach" narrative that dominates social media. Episodes cover a wide range -- options strategies like the wheel and iron condors, forex setups, crypto observations, and broader economic commentary about labor markets and supply chains. Matt ties his trading to real-world economic conditions in a way that feels natural rather than forced. The conversational tone makes it feel like you're catching up with a friend who happens to trade. Here's the catch: the show hasn't published since January 2022. The 95-episode back catalog is still available and still relevant for the educational content, but don't expect new episodes anytime soon. If you're looking for a relatable, no-pretense perspective on what it's actually like to trade while working a regular job, Matt's archive is worth your time. Just know going in that this one appears to be finished.
