In this week’s Venture Trader Live session, Lincoln broke down one of the most counterintuitive truths about trading success — that randomness isn’t the enemy; it’s actually the path to predictability.
Drawing on decades of experience and new insights from his “Trading DNA” framework, he showed traders how to turn uncertain outcomes into measurable progress — and why controlling your process, not the market, is the only way to achieve consistent long-term returns.

TL;DR:
Trading success is about process, not prediction.
Randomness, when structured correctly, creates measurable patterns.
Most traders lose because they chase timing — not systems.
“Trading DNA” helps you design a strategy aligned to your temperament.
Your job as a trader isn’t to make money — it’s to design and follow your process.
From Chaos to Control: Why Process Beats Prediction
Coach Lincoln reminded traders why they show up week after week: “You’re spending your most valuable asset — your time — to learn something that actually works.”
He began by tackling the root cause of inconsistency: traders obsessing over strategy tweaks instead of defining a repeatable process. “You can’t depend on the market to give you the results you want,” he said. “You have to create a process you can depend on.”
He also defined what that process must include:
Specific predictions about outcomes.
Rules that make those predictions come true.
A feedback loop that confirms whether results match expectations.
He compared most traders’ behavior to “panning for gold” — hoping to strike it rich instead of methodically sifting for consistency.
“The problem isn’t your intelligence or your tools,” he said. “It’s the lack of a verifiable process that gives you confidence over time.”
Lincoln revealed his personal turning point — a 2019 breakthrough using mathematical principles of randomness to measure predictability.
“It electrified me,” he said. “I realized the market’s randomness wasn’t my enemy. It was my data source.”
The Power of Predictability — and Your Trading DNA
Lincoln introduced the concept of Trading DNA, the unique set of traits that shape how each person trades best. Drawing on examples from Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Michael Burry, he showed how every great investor tailors their process to fit their natural temperament.
“Burry couldn’t trade like Buffett,” he explained. “You can’t trade like your favorite guru. You have to learn to trade like you.”
This individual calibration, he emphasized, is what creates predictable outcomes. When traders align risk, frequency, and reward to their own style — rather than chasing someone else’s — they stop fighting their instincts and start compounding results.
Coach Lincoln also showed traders how to quantify their edge — not through luck or “gut feel,” but through hard data.
Using the Trading Edge Calculator, he demonstrated how small adjustments in average profit, loss, or frequency can dramatically improve long-term results.
He challenged viewers to think like professionals: “You can’t get better if you don’t measure,” he said. “When you track your process, you stop hoping for profits and start expecting them.”
