As I’ve said before, go back three years and look at who the big ADF traders were, especially the ones active on X. Almost all of them are gone. Sure, some may have just stopped posting, but in this game, when traders are doing well, they usually make sure everyone knows it. The small cap game has shifted. It used to be about holding and building a position with size, riding moves into the close or even swinging. Now it’s more about hyper scalping 2–5% moves, over and over again. If your brain is wired for that style, you can still make a living, but that high win rate, martingale-type approach comes with a catch: eventually, a fat-tail loss can wipe out months of gains. I’ve personally stepped away for now, closed my accounts and moved into Treasuries. I’ll come back if real EV returns to small caps, but with the rise of 24-hour trading and more widespread, AI-driven “China-style” manipulation, I don’t see that environment coming back anytime soon. What used to be a game where the top 95% could carve out a living now feels like it requires being in the top 99.999%. At some point, traders need to take an honest look in the mirror. Too many stay in this game longer than they should…and yes, a lot of that comes down to gambling addiction. If you think that doesn’t apply to you, it’s worth questioning that assumption. Life is short. You had a life before trading, and you’ll have one after it too. Think about the time, energy, and mental bandwidth spent trying to grind out an edge. That same effort could go into building something tangible, or investing in relationships and experiences that actually give something back.

A very shitty week in small caps for me. Thankfully, I’ve cut size so much that I’m still up a decent amount YTD. What’s most concerning is that the broader market was weak, and that’s usually when I do well. Clearly there are other factors at play now. I have a theory. On top of the usual Chinese and domestic riggers, we’re also seeing a real scalping renaissance. Some htb brokers seem to have figured out that by offering near-zero commissions to hyperactive traders, they can still make plenty overall without relying on PFOF. Now every dip gets bought by both short scalpers covering and long scalpers chasing. Nothing fades anymore.

If I am not mistaken long $NQ when under 10% from ATH has 100% win rate, now the tricky part is SIZING and TIMING.

Some of the most retarded things I've seen in trading: 1. I streamed all my trades from Jan 2024 till ~Aug 2025 my entire run from 30K to multi 8 figs on my mentor's discord, an unprofitable trader who watched everyday stayed unprofitable trading their own style for majority of it. 2. A trader spent a decade trading everyday for multiple tens of thousands of hours and still remains unprofitable. I found him interesting and we were on dms for awhile. I was honestly trying to learn from him. Later on I suceed heavily and hes never once asked me for help even tho I got him sponsored by my rich friend to trade with more funds. 3. I recently tutored my good friend's friend for two sessions as a favor as they were interested in starting trading. That person had a bunch of things they wanted to explore but I tried to help them focus on a few ideas. It was clear they wanted to explore their own style and I was left on read (thank god). 4. At the beginning I was in dms of 3 ex pro players daily about trading. I reached out to all of them about trading with me more closely. They all rejected or wasn't too interested at the time even though I was starting to find sucess. Most haven't reached out to me since or took like 1.5 years to do so when its too late. And many more... All these retards wanted to "be themselves" and "find their own way." They don't want to admit they are heading the wrong path and they don't want to ask for help untill its giga undeniable (too late). Honestly this is probably just normal human (retard) behaviour. And they think I am eGomAXxing because of how I speak. Realistically more real and humble than any negative trader. The first real hope I found in trading when I first started was from going through a paid discord looking at how people talk and msging the people I considered the smartest to teach me something. Most rejected and didn't offer much but @gabriel__daher who was profitable at the time helped me and taught me some shit. Reached out eventually and turned out he was no longer profitable. I taught him some shit for a few hours and dropped him off in another discord with some profitable traders as repayment for his kindness. Though basically I just left him a new starting point. He msged every fucking profitable trader there endlessly till he found a mentor. And now hes BALLIng. Honestly almost every 8 fig trader I know has found their initial sucess through some mentorship or from working together with other traders and developing together. I've personally learnt a lot from a lot of different traders throughout. But how do you get help from other traders? At the end of the day its all about give and take. Surprisingly people nowadays don't quite understand that. Instead they are entitled and demand help. They annoy you and threaten you instead. Their idea is if they are terrible to someone they will get help from them eventually. Bitch I rather burn all my fucking money than help you. It's honestly just a sense of pride and honor as well. As a taker you need to know your place and to at least try to give back or at least feel in debted to try to help them out later. Some people don't mind teaching a good guy who has potential and willing to work hard. Maybe try to be funny? Make them feel good for helping you. The people who leech more than they give will be cut out eventually or just receive less. For me how I got to learn from traders was by sharing to them than they did to me. Or if anyone ever shared something with me thats +ev first I would tax myself to give something back of value. But if those people take it for granted then thats that. As an example some people taught me some shit first like @irigstocks or Zero and I was too bad to help them back but now I have returned the favor to help them out of being WASHED AND TRASH AS FUCK. And of course my mentor who I have no idea where I would be now without him. But also without me I think he would be at 1/3 as well. Give and pay your debts. I still have some left to pay. (was gonna write something but im hungry peace)

If you invested in the S&P 500 in 2000 and held it until 2013, you broke even. 13 years, no profit, and you lost 50% to inflation. Think about it for a second.
