The Day Trading Show

Austin Silver runs ASFX and co-hosts The Day Trading Show, which leans heavily into futures trading -- a niche that doesn't get enough podcast coverage. With 279 episodes and semiweekly releases, there's a solid rhythm of new content to keep up with, and the interview format means you're hearing from a rotating cast of professional traders rather than just one perspective. The VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) methodology comes up a lot here, which makes sense given Austin's background. He and his guests talk through how they use VWAP as an anchor for their trading decisions, along with order flow analysis and tape reading techniques. If those terms are new to you, the earlier episodes do a decent job of laying the groundwork. Prop firm trading is another recurring topic. Austin regularly interviews traders who've gone through prop firm evaluations, discussing the specific challenges of trading with someone else's capital -- the payout structures, the drawdown rules, and how to stay mentally composed when you're one bad day from losing your account. These conversations get surprisingly candid about the actual pass rates and failure modes. The show has a 4.4 rating from 57 reviews on Apple Podcasts, which puts it slightly below some of the more established trading podcasts. The production is decent -- most episodes include video versions linked in the show notes if you prefer watching. Austin's interviewing style is energetic and direct. He asks pointed questions about specific trade setups and P&L numbers, which keeps things grounded in reality rather than vague motivational talk.
