@valuetrader_ Genuinely keen to see this :) @El_Cadejo_ thought I'd tag you as you might be interested as well.

$SPY $MES Here we have it Over 15k profit in less than 4 weeks of trading with 0 negative days. All 5 eval accounts live next week. Video showing some live trading setups will be uploaded as soon as I can get it all together. Next week, we begin our live accounts so we can begin to get some payouts Note that I didn't even use my models the correct way. For the most part, as you'll see in the video, I market ordered my buys and sells, and I didn't set stops - my attempt to prove that neither algos nor the trading rules you are accustomed to are required to be a good trader (although I'd have made far more had I relied on scripts and automatic trading) My win rate was far lower as a result, but it still allowed for very good gains as you will see. This isn't to say stops are bad and limit orders aren't better. It's to say everything you think you know about trading doesn't have to be set in stone. I still have soft stops to prevent ego from allowing me to be stupid Keep in mind that although this hasn't been the trading that gives you lambos/bloodline retirements, nor the 100x gamble posts that gains followers en masse, it's a consistent style that generates - based purely on seeing this continue for a year - 100k-200k yr gains. And I rarely ever use enough contracts to create a blow up situation. Keep wins big, losses small. Now, it isn't realistic to expect 0 losses. It's part of trading. We'll have setback days/weeks (hell, months even if you're caught in a crappy situation), and that's completely fine. Don't make it an issue. Just reset and come back the next day, and stick to your system The goal is independence as a trader and flexibility in being able to do something you love in life instead of waking up and waiting for the weekend so you can live and relax. Now you'll end up waiting for the work week Hopefully this experiment I try is something that helps me assist some hard working traders achieve some level of independence as a trader over my time here on X. So if you're an unprofitable trader and wish to tag along, Id personally recommend a follow, a share, a like. I've nothing to sell you. I'll leave that to the retarded scammers on here whosteal your hard earned money Enough with the rant - as always, we reset, enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend, and we come back next week to move onto extraction Cheers 🍻

@TigerAIFinance what are your favourite stocks and how are they going? (with relation to when you got in up until now). (up to) 2% risk rule is king.

After years of mistakes in crypto (chasing altcoins, heavy leverage, bad risk management), I’ve simplified my approach in 2026. → ~85% BTC and stock trading → very little altcoin trading (volatility is too high) → Strict 2% risk rule with trades → Using AI to support research and stay calmer Simplicity + better tools + social life and sports = much better sleep at 40. Anyone else moving towards a more disciplined style?

@matthughes13 Another blast from the past @El_Cadejo_

Maybe $AZERO isnt gonna die after-all If this one survives then there is hope for the rest of the shitcoins out there

@OVcrypto He will be right again one of these times. At this point in time though, i have to ask if he is even a real person and not an entirely a fictional entity 😆

Yes millions

His name is everywhere on my TL, but at least millions of people are now aware that the crash is coming any minutes so they can all sell now.

@OVcrypto Good work on being a patient accumilator. I'm with you on btbt, i got out way too early on bmnr.

Live update on the #Ethereum treasury companies positions built in the last weeks/months. $SBET $BTBT $BMNR 1⃣ $SBET position 🔹Average buying price = 8.84$ 🔹Unrealized P&L = -12.7%

@willyjayducks I'm going to begin paying more attention again. Something must be up when xrp charts hit my feed or lists :D

$XRP is on breakout watch. If crypto remains green for a few more days this likely tags that $1.71 level. This is where the 200 Day MA is and a key fibonacci resistance.

@valuetrader_ I'm in it with you.

$VET Say it isn't so, $VET, say it isn't so

@lourenco_vs I like your idea. Longed it.

$SUI Level of compression on this long sideways move is insane. Currently breaking the downtrend. If you haven´t been paying attention, I suggest you do now.

@barnc0re Interesting as i often think about this but never executed on the idea of researching it, have you applied anything here to your system?

What are today's most popular trading educators teaching retail? I conducted a deep research with AI... I've learned that knowing how to identify when/where/how traders are trapped is a key "unlock" in trading. And i know that learning things from a first principles perspective is what leads to subconscious competence & improvisation/adaptability in future, so i set out to anchor my core understanding with data. The idea is: Whatever trading strategies are getting taught online the most is probably a decent reflection of how the majority are actually trading, and since we know market makers have all that data, and we know they possess the capital size to move price, and we know they're incentivized to manipulate price action to create patterns/scenarios that lure the most traders in as possible for most efficient profit model possible (they need resting liquidity in order to take their massive positions as stealthily as possible), then by knowing what knowledge retail is consuming we can get an idea of what behaviour MMs are seeing and therefore deduce what traps MMs are likely to set. (👆 and this is not even mentioning the possibility of the other end of the chain: educators being incentivized by exchanges/brokers under the table to teach certain styles that favour MMs) But what trading strategies are the majority using? Well what are the biggest sources of information? I asked AI to scrape the internet: "Find the top 50 most popular trading educators online (across all market types), find what trading methodology they're specializing in teaching, and give me a rank of the most common trade styles/methodologies." I also told it to define popularity using total follower count across all major social media platforms (even if a lot of them are fake/bought, at this scale the subscriber amount still projects "social proof" to most ppl, positioning them as authorities, thus creating a feedback loop of more followers, which then creates a parallel feedback loop of those followers regurgitating that knowledge elsewhere online, solidifying it in the zeitgeist and validating the educator cred further). And i told it to get specific with finding their technical approaches, among other things in the prompt (like telling it the reason why i'm ultimately asking, etc). ChatGPT's new 5.5 model didn't cut corners lol, it spent 1h 12m researching this. 🤯 In my almost-2 yrs using gpt, that's the longest research i've ever seen it do. Usually it's around 5-20 mins. 🎁 Anyway thought i'd share the high-signal parts: "The broad result is pretty clear: plain-vanilla price action and trend logic still dominates by educator count and aggregate reach, momentum breakout/day-trading is next, and SMC/ICT language is the fastest-growing secondary doctrine, especially in forex and index education. Dedicated options-volatility education is big but much narrower, and true order-flow/footprint/volume-profile teaching remains influential but comparatively niche." "Across the 50-educator sample, the most common teaching bucket is still price action / trend following / classical chart logic. That includes support and resistance, trend continuation, breakout-retest logic, pullbacks into value, daily/4H structure, and the usual zoo of wedges, channels, flags, and fib retracements. It is not sexy, but it has ridiculous distribution because it is adaptable across forex, equities, crypto, and even Indian index/options education. Representative public descriptions include TraderNick’s pullback/trend-following framework, Rayner’s trend-following/price-action brand, and Peter Brandt’s long-standing classical-charting posture." "If I reduce the whole thing to one practical rule, it is this: the best counter-trades usually come from failed textbook entries taught by large educators, not from exotic secret sauce. Obvious breakout fails. Obvious pullback zones fail. Obvious FVGs fail. Obvious short-vol assumptions fail. The market loves to humiliate the largest coherent crowd first, then trend afterward while they puke their stops into it. Finance is often just crowd psychology wearing a tie and pretending it’s sophisticated. Sometimes the tie is made of Fibonacci." "The internet’s dominant trading-education diet is not exotic. It is mostly structure, breakouts, pullbacks, value zones, and highly repeatable retail execution templates. That means the chart locations most likely to generate trapped traders are also the most obvious ones: breakout pivots, premarket highs, first pullbacks, fair-value-gap taps, and short-vol ranges right before expansion. If you want the counter-trade, stop looking for mystical hidden footprints under a blood moon. Start by mapping where the biggest teaching doctrines tell the crowd to click buy or sell — then wait for the doctrine to fail." Check screenshots for more depth:

@itsToghrul @matthughes13 The only thing that gives me a little hopium on Hood retracing a little in the very short term is that volume is decreasing on price going down. Seems to be oversold after hours / pre-market.

@matthughes13 It will drop down to the 50s, mark my words It's just a crypto proxy, at least for now Look at the correlation with $BTC

$HOOD is in process of closing the month of April back above its 20-month MA. 2 more days left for confirmation Bears shouldn't fight bullish trend reversals

@BobLoukas Who would have thought business could be so personal. Twitter is a disgrace. I must admit Bob, the higher this goes the more tempting it is to lighten up the stack a little bit, it could give great buy back opportunities.

Typical script for Bitcoin in the declining phase is around the $85k level before resumption of the trend.

@GoldnGuitars Would be great to get you on with @camelfinance around the metals DCL or future WCL timeframe.

Should be DCL today as C wave appears to be completing. $GDX #Gold #Silver

@Bobby_1111888 Internalise it. Will it. Make it reality once more.

$2.00 + is loading for XRP.

@valuetrader_ @chrono_chartist I follow him in one of my lists, but after seeing his demeanour on camel finances last interview, i stopped or muted him, something was off and i don't follow traders who are reinventing themselves in front of me, too chaotic.

@chrono_chartist Cant tell you how sad it was to see Tony suddenly become a whining little cry baby these last 6 months. You make hundreds of calls and finally mark a local top on one of those many assets correcly, and it becomes your entire personality Dude became a grifter as soon as he could

To everyone commenting here. I am blocked therefore I cannot comment. Which btw bothers me none. Its pretty straightforward. Nothing I said was untrue. People backing Tony here is Ben fans and just backing Ben as thats the main thing that triggered them. Its as simple as that, you can search for yourself what happened in 2023. Its THERE. I did not make it up. I got blocked with a specific word choice that shows me it's not about the comment I even made. Its clearly bias and my posts was getting little much with the opposing view. Its clear to me. He has attacked so many accounts on here recently that I regard as good people and good accounts. He started talking in certainties and I bet you he has already started hedging his posts with price going up. So people will see for themselves with time. Time shows lots in this place. I even gave him advice in dms and was just nice to him as you never know what someone is going through when he went of on Decodejar. To the guys like Strange saying it how it is. Thank you and it's okay. Let him and his fan base go on with their community. I wish them Goodluck.

@ccjdjff Which ones of these give you that tingly feeling on the back of your neck the most?

The worst thing ever is when no one talks about the stocks I own $LGN $ONTO $DIOD $COHU $STM $LSCC

@El_Cadejo_ There are a lot of emotional responses around, objectiveness is leaving the building.

I see a few local top indicators for sure... But I also see a lot of macro bottom indicators:

@CyclesWithBach Any thoughts on the impending earnings?

$HOOD Getting very close now.. Breakout attempt looks imminent! Question is not if, but when...

@matthughes13 Are you still tracking this one, Matt?

$BTBT is just doing what almost every single altcoin is doing. Building a base before launch mode activated

@OVcrypto Cheers, just scaled in a little, the chart looks like good R:R on face value, the market however.. Still anticipating a little more Eth hate before we get a decision.

@Ryanish Hi, not bad the spot position is built, now we will see if the ETH play is coming or not. Cheers

$BTBT position update Smaller position than SBET, but still buying the blood on BTBT: 🔹New purchase at $1.31 🔹Average buying price = $1.97
