Sleep no more? How will your trading strategy adjust to 24/7/365 on-chain markets?  In this episode of IBKR Podcasts, host Steven Levine sits down with Adrian Reid, founder of Enlightened Stock Trading and a 20-year veteran of rules-based, systematic trading, to explore the seismic shifts reshaping today's markets.

Discover why Bitcoin's volatility is starting to resemble high-beta tech stocks, how to adapt trading systems when overnight gaps disappear, and why constant market-watching is a trap rather than an edge.
