@pavelibarrameda Lay off the AI for a bit man. Love your stuff but it cheapens everything

We have a fresh match on the horizon. This might get bloody. Viewer discretion is advised.

@MickWest Why are you happy to take his word on this?

Sean Kirkpatrick reveals what was shot down after the Chinese Spy balloon. More balloons, one from a Boy Scout troop, and the other a Happy Birthday balloon. Both shot down with $500K missiles. youtu.be/bi0H_mkwTW0?t=…

@MiddleOfMayhem debunker slop

@MiddleOfMayhem Ever feel like you are wasting your time with this? You aren't smart enough for any debunks, so you just pick low-hanging fruit to ridicule, and you even do that badly. Low engagement, angry cringe-slop.

Update: UFO celebrity Lue Elizondo has cancelled the entire first month of his speaking tour, due to a motorcycle accident several weeks ago. Ticketmaster showed only 10% - 15% of tickets had sold for his April 22 opening night before the cancellation.

@L2WTrades There is no buddy.

my trading buddy celebrates red days harder than green days seriously loses $2k, takes himself to dinner makes $4k, eats ramen at home i thought he was insane until he explained the psychology that made him $500k last year: you're celebrating wins and depressing over losses you're conditioning your brain backwards here's the reward system that keeps you broke: WHAT YOU DO NOW: win trade: feel amazing, celebrate, post about it lose trade: feel terrible, hide, hate yourself YOUR BRAIN LEARNS: winning = dopamine hit losing = pain RESULT: you become addicted to the winning feeling you chase winners (need that dopamine NOW) you hold losers too long (can't accept the pain) you take trades that aren't there because sitting out feels like missing a dopamine hit you just programmed yourself to fail here's what profitable traders do: INVERSE REWARD SYSTEM: win trade: stay neutral. it's just data lose trade properly: CELEBRATE. you followed rules YOUR BRAIN LEARNS: winning = normal, no big deal following rules = reward RESULT: you're not addicted to winning you let winners run (no need for immediate dopamine) you cut losers fast (still get reward for following rules) you sit out garbage days without anxiety because not trading IS following rules the truth is really simple: i don't celebrate P&L. i celebrate EXECUTION if i check the candle profile and the wick doesn't support expansion and i close my laptop - that's a win. i followed the filter. most traders would have forced a trade anyway because their brain needed the action if the previous session didn't reverse and there's no setup at 9:30 and i take zero trades - that's a win. the system said no trade. i listened. the guy who took 6 trades that day lost $3k trying to manufacture setups that didn't exist if i see NQ break out but YM doesn't confirm and i DON'T enter - that's a win. the divergence said the breakout is fake. sitting out saved me from a wick-out that would have cost $1,200 if i follow every rule perfectly and still lose $1k because the market did some shit nobody could predict - that's a WIN if i break my rules, add size emotionally, skip the confirmation, and make $2k because i got lucky - that's a LOSS "so you're happy when you lose money?" i'm happy when i EXECUTE correctly. the money follows execution. if i chase money, i fuck up execution. if i chase perfect execution, money comes automatically this is how you should journal: TRADE 1: -$890 notes: "session profile confirmed continuation. gap was aligned. SMT confirmed. V-shape was there. entered correctly. stop hit exactly where planned. market reversed off a higher timeframe level i didn't see" rating: 10/10 trade reward: went to nice dinner TRADE 2: +$2,340 notes: "no session confirmation. candle profile was a large wick. entered anyway because i felt like it was going to work. got lucky" rating: 3/10 trade punishment: no trading next day REWARD yourself for the loss PUNISH yourself for the win because one had perfect process one had terrible process results don't matter. process matters implemented this for 90 days: OLD SYSTEM (reward outcomes): celebrated wins → became addicted to the winning feeling depressed over losses → avoided taking stops forced trades on no-setup days → needed the dopamine result: held losers, cut winners, overtraded net: -$8,200 NEW SYSTEM (reward execution): celebrated following the system regardless of outcome celebrated sitting out when the filters said no trade punished rule breaks even when they made money result: let winners run, cut losers fast, took 60% fewer trades net: +$27,600 same strategy same setups same market different reward system here's the framework: GOOD EXECUTION + LOSS = REWARD YOURSELF you followed the system. you checked the candle. you checked the session. you checked the assets. everything aligned. you entered. it lost anyway. that is a PERFECT trade. pay yourself. nice dinner, movie, whatever BAD EXECUTION + WIN = PUNISH YOURSELF you skipped the filters. you entered without confirmation. you traded outside your session. you got lucky. you just reinforced every bad habit that will blow your account next month. punish: no trading tomorrow. no reward your brain doesn't know P&L it knows REWARDS and PUNISHMENTS right now you're rewarding P&L that's why you're broke start rewarding EXECUTION watch what happens

@TheProfInvestor A guy I know bought the same company you are talking about and it didn't pull back ever and shot up 1000%

"Just hold" is the worst advice in trading. I'm probably going to piss some people off with this but I don't care. Every pullback, someone says it. Every correction, there it is. "Just hold. It'll come back. Don't panic sell." Here's the thing - sometimes it doesn't come back. And even when it does, you might be so broken by then that you sell anyway. Real example: Guy I know bought at $80. Good company, decent fundamentals, all that. Drops to $70. Everyone tells him "just hold." Drops to $60. "I'm long term, I'm holding." Drops to $50. He's down almost 40% now. Getting nervous. But everyone keeps saying hold. A year later it climbs back to $65. He sells. Just happy to be "only" down 18%. Stock's at $95 today. Nobody talks about this part: "just hold" only works if you sized it right from the start. You put 40% of your account in one stock? You can't hold through a 50% drop. Your brain won't let you. You'll sell at the bottom. Overleveraged? Can't hold. You'll get forced out. No real thesis beyond "good company"? Can't hold because you don't even know what you're holding FOR. "Just hold" is what people say when they have no plan. What actually works: Know why you bought. Real thesis, not just vibes. Know where you're wrong. Have a stop. Size it so you can actually stomach the swings. Check if your thesis still makes sense. If it breaks, get out. I've held through 20% pullbacks that doubled because I knew exactly why I owned them and didn't size like an idiot. I've also cut 8% losses because the reason I bought it stopped being true. "Just hold" isn't a strategy. It's cope. Have a plan. Size right. Know your exits. Then you can hold through the noise.

@ZeroHedge_ LOL 🤣

@andrew_nfx These fake stories are actually the worst. You are terrible.

Spoke to a guy at the end of last year who had blown $34,000 across one year of trading. Not $34k in prop firm fees. $34,000 of his own money. Real capital. Gone. He wasn't reckless. He wasn't gambling crypto at 100x leverage. He was just chasing high RR. Every strategy he ever ran was built around 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 risk-to-reward. He'd read everywhere that 'you only need to be right 30% of the time at 1:3RR to be profitable.' So he built his entire trading identity around that. The problem? He was hitting 28-32% win rates consistently. Just below breakeven. Month after month. Some months a big winner would bail him out. Most months he'd slowly bleed. The losing streaks were brutal - 8, 9, 10 losses in a row was normal for him. And every time that happened, he'd start second-guessing entries. Missing trades. Then revenge trading to catch up. Then blowing the account. I asked him why he never considered lower RR. He said: 'Isn't that the amateur approach? Proper traders aim for 3R minimum.' This is the myth that cost him $34,000. I showed him my numbers. $2M+ in payouts. Average RR: 1:1 to 1:2. Win rate: 65-70%. He went quiet for a moment. Then asked: 'Why does nobody talk about this?' Because high RR sounds more impressive. 'I only need to win 30% of the time' sounds like a cheat code. But living through a 10-trade losing streak every single month destroys most people mentally before they ever find consistency. High win rate keeps you in the game psychologically. And with prop firms - fewer big drawdowns means fewer blown accounts. Means more payouts. Means more scaling. He switched to a 1:1 - 1:2 RR model focused on high probability setups. Within 4 months his win rate was sitting at 63%. First funded payout came in month 5. $2,100. Small. But his first in 6 years. You don't need a 1:5 RR to build serious money from prop firms. You need to WIN. Consistently. Stop making trading harder than it needs to be.

@GAndersonTrades Posting fake losses for engagement should get you banned.

DONT BUY $SPY PUTS! LESSON LEARNED 😞

@IncomeSharks Do you think that is actual analysis of a chart. A fuckin lobotomy patient could have done this

Bitcoin squiggles continue to look better and better.

@ACInvestorBlog Eveyone seems to think Nike is dead. Because they bought some cheap brand that won’t be here in ten years. Nike is here and it’s not going away. Buy the stock bitches.

$NKE momentum is slowly coming back... im expecting an $ORCL day soon :) Breakout watch over 44.4

AI sucks man

@Mr_Derivatives STOP SAYING 'FUTES'

If Hyperliquid SPX is showing -2.4% If Wall Street Tech IG is showing -1.7% And the actual Futes opens flat or god forbid green…. I will never quote those two ever again.

@Mr_Derivatives STOP SAYING 'FUTES' IT'S SO ANNOYING

Hyperliquid showing $SPX down 2.3%. Correlates to about a $SPY $665. Actual Futes open in 3 hrs. Gonna be fun.

@Mr_Derivatives Muting the word “futes”. So annoying

Anything can still happen between now and tomorrow when Futes open. You all should know this by now. So take this Weekend IG values with a grain of salt regardless of which side you are currently on (long or short). With that said though, a good chunk of this entire 8-10% rally was under the impression a ceasefire/truce was happening this weekend. So unless something positive happens in the next 24 hrs, futes “should” be decently red. If it’s green, I’ll be shocked.

@Nebraskangooner You seem like a good guy. Brighter days are ahead, I am sure. Keep going.

For some reason I'm struggling mentally recently. Usually I can control my thoughts and generally be happy and enjoy things. Lately I'm just in a rut. I haven't been enjoying working out. I haven't wanted to do anything during the day or even find enjoyable things to do. I just want to do nothing. Daily tasks seem like they drag on forever and my brain wants nothing to do with them. I don't even know why I'm posting this. Maybe saying it out loud will help me snap out of it. Sometimes your brain just hits a wall and you feel like there's no way out of it; even though you know there is. You know what I mean?

@mikealfred Hilarious, you think you got it right. I'm not on their side, but Iran did not cave to anything.

@IncomeSharks @R1chardMaur1ce @CarsonTalkMoney @Couch_Investor @TheRealBirnbaum @YodaStockInvest Your name is In Come Sharks

@R1chardMaur1ce @CarsonTalkMoney @Couch_Investor @TheRealBirnbaum @YodaStockInvest I don't know DividendMaster3030 says they just bought the dip so I trust them more than that guy who's name sounds like a food Buffet

This implies that so far the legend thinks this is not a big decline and I agree. Knife catchers need to read this. Just trying to help. @CarsonTalkMoney @Couch_Investor @TheRealBirnbaum @YodaStockInvest

@IncomeSharks @amitisinvesting Are you actually dumb? Stocks surge at the moment of the actual news announcements on the second... and you still attribute moves to other stuff.

@amitisinvesting Or as simple as Turnaround Tuesday after a 5 week losing streak.

Two reasons we are green today: 1. WSJ headline last night said Trump is willing to end the war without re-opening the Strait. 2. Trump post this morning basically “confirmed” this by telling allies to buy oil from the US, not the Strait, essentially making the claim that the Strait is not as important. Now, it’s obviously very important, but Trump can’t leave Iran with the *perception* that they left in order for Iran to feel comfortable to reopen the Strait. He needs to leave with people feeling that the Strait doesn’t matter so that if the US does leave, Iran can tell their people that they forced the US out and now can reopen it but Trump will tell the American people that we left because there was nothing else to do since we destroyed the military and the Iranians are opening it because they need the oil money, not because the US wasn’t able to militarily get them to reopen it which is WHY he is now downplaying the importance of the Strait. The market doesn’t care about anything other than the Strait opening and today, for now, the market feels that maybe there is a better chance of it opening which is why we seem to be green… Until the next headline. What. A. Volatile. Market.

@IncomeSharks @amitisinvesting Or you know… trump is lying again?

@amitisinvesting Not sure how true it is but heard someone say there are basically 2 Iran's right now and that makes a lot sense. We talk to the leadership we want in power and are ignoring the other one

IRAN SAYS THEY HAVEN’T HAD A SINGLE NEGOTIATION WITH THE US IN 31 DAYS 💀 markets…don’t like that Iranian Foreign Ministry: - We have not conducted any negotiations with the United States during the 31 days of the war. - What happened is a request for negotiations accompanied by American proposals that reached us through some intermediaries, including Pakistan - Our position is clear, and it is that we are dedicating all our efforts to defending our sovereignty amid the continuation of American aggression.
