Episode 248 of The Automation Station — the Friday show on The Pulse from the Tradier Hub — is a quicker one, and it’s built around the part of PeakBot that’s been growing fastest: the marketplace of trader-partners whose strategies the platform automates for copy trading. With a scheduled guest pushed to a later week, Dillon and Ben use the time to introduce a wave of new partners and explain how the marketplace works.
Before the tour, the usual trader trivia (after-hours trading means buying and selling outside the regular 9:30-to-4:00 session) and a “did you know” that pairs nicely with the show’s philosophy: markets often rebound fastest when headlines are at their worst, because the bad news is already priced in and it only takes a small positive surprise to flip sentiment. It’s a reminder that the market runs on expectations and emotion as much as data — and a case for letting a bot trade while you sleep.
The heart of the episode is the new partner lineup, spanning very different styles. Ronnie V of the High Five Collective is a momentum trader and growth investor with two portfolios and a community of more than 64,000 followers. Option Wolves is SPX-specific, running credit spreads, iron condors, and debit spreads for a community of over 350 traders — a “sniper” approach now automated. JR28 (Jovan), already an options-buying partner, is launching a futures portfolio. Bullish Buzz brings futures trading on MNQ and MES with a full education-and-alerts ecosystem, and Alpha Shark (Andrew Keen) adds unusual-option-flow copy trading. Together they push PeakBot past 20 to 30 live partners across equities, options, and futures, with more launches still uncovered.
The hosts are candid about why the show’s attendance has been sporadic — vacations — and they lay out a plan to bring one trader per week onto the show going forward, so subscribers can hear each partner’s story, strategy, and track record firsthand. Their reasoning is a recurring theme: partners with more educated communities see better retention, because when a loss comes those traders understand why and don’t panic. The pitch, as always, is to pair great educators with automation software that runs their strategies hands-free.
They wrap with the week ahead. King AI and King AI Turbo are being turned off over the weekend on renewed Middle East tension — a US–Iran ceasefire that ended with “talks of talks” — with CPI on Tuesday and a Kevin Warsh appearance keeping the bots off early in the week, leaving roughly half a week of automated trading. Partners, of course, decide their own schedules. A little World Cup banter and a shrinking-screen StreamYard gremlin close out a light, marketplace-focused Friday.
