got a DM from a guy who said he made $1.2M trading last year
looked at his profile. 847 followers. no course. no discord. posts maybe twice a week.
thought it was cap
asked him to prove it
he sent broker statements. verified. real.
so I asked him one question: "what's your strategy?"
his answer changed how I think about trading forever.
"I trade one pattern. literally one. for 9 years."
"just one?"
"just one. bullish engulfing at daily support. that's it."
"you made $1.2M from bullish engulfings?"
"I made $1.2M from being the most patient motherfucker on planet earth."
he explained:
when he started, he was like everyone else. 47 indicators. 12 strategies. telegram signals. news trading. scalping. swing. everything.
blew $340k in 4 years.
his wife told him he was done. trading was over. get a real job.
"that's when I got serious."
he spent 6 months backtesting ONE setup. bullish engulfing at daily support. over 3 years of data. (i don't even know how the fuck support/resistance work lmao)
found it hit 61% of the time with average 2.8R when traded correctly.
"that was enough. I didn't need anything else."
now he wakes up. checks daily charts for 15 minutes. if the setup is there, he takes it. if not, he plays golf.
"some weeks I take zero trades."
"doesn't that drive you crazy?"
"it drove me crazy for the first 6 months. now I don't even think about it. no setup = no trade. the market owes me nothing."
I asked about his typical month:
- trades: 8-12
- winners: 5-7
- losers: 3-5
- average month: $70-120k
"you make six figures taking 10 trades a month?"
"bro most months I make more than I made the entire year when I was taking 10 trades a day."
this broke something in my brain.
we've been told MORE effort = MORE results
but trading is inverted
LESS effort = MORE results
because effort in trading usually means:
- more trades (more mistakes)
- more screen time (more emotional decisions)
- more analysis (more paralysis)
- more indicators (more confusion)
he told me his screen time went from 8 hours per day to 45 minutes per week.
his income went from -$80k/year to +$1.2M/year.
inverse correlation
I asked for his advice to new traders:
"pick one setup. test it. prove it works. then do ONLY that setup for 3 years. you'll be rich and everyone will think you're a genius. you're not. you're just patient."
before I ended the call:
"one more thing. everyone who tells you trading is hard is right. but not because the market is hard. because DOING NOTHING is hard. that's the actual skill. doing nothing while everyone else is busy losing money."
he hung up.
probably went to go do nothing.

Absolutely ice cold take.
