Starting traders usually try to go faster. More screens. More trades. More signals. More stress. But speed is not automatically an edge. Very often, it is just a faster way to overtrade, overfit and break your own rules. This green line is my weekly "buy the dip" model on S&P 500 stocks. It trades once per week. The logic is intentionally boring: - Find stocks already in an uptrend - Trade only when the broad market is also in an uptrend - Define the dip on a weekly chart - Check entries on Monday - Manage the trade with SL/PT Just a simple systematic process repeated over and over. I like slower trading because it usually has a better chance of survival. Fewer decisions to mess up. Less noise to react to. Less temptation to optimize the strategy into something fragile. Of course, slow trading has drawbacks. You usually do not want to run this type of model with leverage. It will tie up a lot of capital. Returns take patience. It will not give you dopamine every morning. But as a foundation, it makes a lot of sense. Build the robust, boring portfolio first. Then add faster and more advanced strategies on top. Starting with speed often feels exciting. Starting with robustness is usually smarter. I track this model and its open positions in real time on my blog: Live Trading Models / Buy the Dip (weekly) Use it for inspiration.

@traderthiz Congrats Thiz!

April '26 Can't even remember the last time i had an all green month. Looks alright on paper but in reality fumbled the biggest opp of the month just by waking up late. ($CAR) Been kindve detached from socials in '26 so far, IRL just been slammed busy but some awesome stuff happening. Lol those of you who've known me since like 2020/21 prob remember how much i always talked about wanting to get up out of the "hood". Past dreams finally moving into reality as we start to build our current dream home! I'll post some more updates on that in near future but its going to be awesome man. Not quite the mutli-acre lot i wanted; but still a great size lot in a really nice neighborhood, family and friends nearby. I'm insanely pumped; not getting any younger yaknow. Might aswell send it now! With all this going on i've been more risk-adverse just taking the money as it comes these last few months.. seen too many stories of people blowing up big right before closing lmao.. i'd like to just avoid that entirely. Hope everyones doin well man seen alot of doom n gloom on here last few months. Keep your heads in it!

@Braczyy My biggest red days have almost always come after massive green days/weeks Overconfidence gets me in more trouble than almost anything else The “I’m untouchable, everything is working” mindset is a deadly place to approach the market from.

AI 虚拟女友一个月赚4.3万美金！ 我今天看到这个帖子，直接看呆了。 一个21岁的 Austin 大学生，用 AI 造了一个叫 Maya 的 OnlyFans 账号，第一个月就赚了4.3万美元。 问题是——照片里那个女孩，根本不存在。 Maya 22岁，UCF 心理学辍学生，1247个付费订阅者，单月最高一个粉丝就刷了1847美元。 她没有拍视频，没有真人打字，所有消息都是 Claude Code 写的，所有照片是 Flux 生成的，声音是 ElevenLabs 合成的。整个 Maya 只是他 MacBook 里四个 .md 文件。 以前造一个 AI 虚拟网红要花半年甚至一年半，现在只需要4个星期，下一个可能就是一个周末。 作者详细写了 Maya 的四个文件： persona.md 写她完整的人设、背景、喜好； voice.md 锁声音风格； flux.md 固定长相和拍摄风格； brain.md 记录每个订阅者的记忆和互动历史。 Claude Code 每次回复前都会读这四个文件，从不崩人设，也从不忘记粉丝说过什么。 真的很感慨，技术栈已经简单到可怕的地步。 以前的 Aitana López 花了18个月，现在 Maya 4周就跑通了。 这已经不是科幻，而是任何一个有 laptop 的人都能复制的路径——从 OnlyFans 到 Instagram、TikTok、Twitch，随便哪个平台都能套。 AI 让“虚拟人”成本降到了几乎为零，剩下的唯一瓶颈，是你有没有那个 taste 去决定这个虚拟人要成为什么样子。

Shoutout to @801010athlete & @OliverKell_ for teaching me to own the leaders coming out of a correction. Track RS and buy them on weakness for the win. 🏆

I’ll have friends hit me up asking to learn how to trade. I’ll send them 50+ weekly recordings with hundreds of examples and the zen bible which covers all the details of the system I trade. Not a single one reaches out after that. Same goes for the vast majority of traders that join DZT. The work ethic of most traders is abysmal. You can quickly separate yourself by doing the work 90% won’t even attempt.

Another one for the books! We officially closed out the $NBIS naked put today, walking away with a solid $73 profit. It’s all about consistency and high-probability setups. We’re keeping the momentum high and the account green.📈

Reached my 10k step goal for the day and was feeling good, until my wife told me how many steps she got today.

@khan_m_baber 😂

When @_TraderLarry scalps versus when I try scalping. 😂 Mine is the 2nd shot 😂

Qullamaggie made $100M trading stocks. His first piece of advice to new traders: Don’t do it. You’re probably not going to make it. And if you’re going to ignore that advice. Put in 60-80 hour weeks for a decade. Thats how I made it.

@optguru Should have insurance regardless of whether she needs the permit or not., imo.

#divx, I need help from those of you that are parents with older kids. What's the best way to get them in car insurance? Oldest might need to take the car to high school, but to get parking permit she needs to show proof of insurance. Thanks in advance 🙏

I think it has more to do with the strategy when considering quantity of trades. There are plenty of swing traders who are great at what they trade and make impressive amounts of money. If comparing the same strategy, then I agree, more reps 'should' equal improved skill over time. (I am a scalper)

@karaoke_andi More trades more reps

One trade per week? Here is my take on it. It's like with fighting. A punching bag doesn't fight back. Only the real thing prepares you. A lot of guys in this space tell you "1 model, 1 trade per week, all you need". I am not saying there is merit in "less is more". I am just telling you that I sometimes fire 10-20 trades per day. Real money on the line. Now I am asking you: who builds the skill faster? The guy who hits the punching bag or the guy who engages in sparring? The guy who takes one trade per week or the guy who puts on multiple trades per day?

@My_Investmement @Lovey1973 I am going to let this grow inside a bigger size pot next and then decide whether to plant it in the ground or not.

@_TraderLarry @Lovey1973 Is it going on the ground or staying in the pot for its life? I wish we could grow avocados in my area.

Avocados tree update. Getting ready to transplant into a larger pot today. She's approx 21" tall now. @Lovey1973

Please pray for my husband, he got stung by a bee in the forehead. He’s in the hospital now, his face all swollen and bruised. He almost died. Luckily I was close enough to hit the bee with a shovel.
