1000x

Hosted by Avi Felman

Two former hedge fund traders analyze markets in real-time, focusing on crypto, AI, and macro trends from a practitioner's perspective.

The brief

This is a fast-paced, often live-streamed show where two ex-traders think out loud about the market's bleeding edge. It's less about long-term fundamentals and more about identifying and navigating short-to-medium term "flows"—from AI and crypto to geopolitical catalysts. The hosts treat markets as a game of information and psychology, sharing specific theses and trade ideas with an edgy, unfiltered humor.

Its blend of high-level macro analysis with the granular, often cynical, perspective of actual traders stands out. Unlike many finance shows, it focuses on "flows over fundamentals" and the psychological gamesmanship of the market, complete with a fast-paced, live-stream format.
