My stock only, no option account in preparation for joining USIC in 2026.
To say that i am ashamed of myself would be taking it lightly. i shall be performing both seppekaku and bukkake tonight on myself. i have brought shame upon not only myself, but also my family.
I have been so proud of my 52% year that has been pinned up on the wall all year. Now i will wear this on the wall as a token of shame, a scarlet letter if you will, so now when i post charts others will come across my page and they will know that i am a fraud and an untouchable. The lowest member of the caste system.
Happy New Year, feel free to throw tomatoes on me as you pass.
I know your favorite trader has taken a $2k account and ran it up to 600k 14 times this year. Im not that guy, i have the risk tolerance of an eclair.
i started trading in 2017, when i was in my 20s and making a shit ton of money (for me) and wanted to get rich. I never blew up an account but i lost money consecutively for the next 4 years, coming in and out of trading when it appealed to me and then id come on Twitter and see everyone making all the right plays all the time and taking home my salary in a month and i would get discouraged and quit again but the love for trading, that passion, though dormant at times never dissipated, but why couldn't i make money? I left trading completely in 2021 when i heard about NFTs and crypto. Started wheeling and dealing magic internet photos, made a killing (for me), the most money id ever made in my life. Then that fizzled out, but now i had felt what it was like to make serious money, and i wanted that feeling again.
I took this newfound cockiness and came back to stocks/options ready to make it my bitch, but still i kept losing. Around Christmas of 2023 i decided that 2024 was going to be my year. I was going to give it my all, i would work my ass off after market close, sifting through charts, option flow, twitter, IBD, soaking up everything i could. i made a pact that i would post charts/flow that looked good to me on my twitter every night, that way in the morning i could come and see what the plan was going in to the day, i did this to hold myself accountable, i did this for me, but what ended up happening was it started picking up traction, i started getting followers! People whom i look to for advice and wisdom were now following me! I started getting offers, offers to promote a platform, to join a small group chat, to help out with flow in a trading discord, and along the way these habits i had made for myself, these steps i took to hold myself accountable, i started to see the results in my trading, i noticed that i stopped watching my PnL, i stopped getting upset over losses, my emotions started to level out, i was getting in the zone and holy shit i was making money consistently!
I still have a lot of work to do, this was a pretty easy market year and im well aware that if I wasnt so well placed for elections my % return would look a lot different. i still have a lot of work to do, but my god does it feel good to beat the market, to have a profitable year.
Im pretty much done for the year, especially after today im mostly cash so this is a fair assessment of my year.
51%, im thrilled. I havent made serious money yet, but i will. I know that now. Im here now, i have a seat at the table, and im not fucking leaving.
Sitting through a -8% pullback from equity highs in the portfolio isn’t fun, but it’s part of the game!
You can’t control what your stocks do. What you CAN control is acting like a dipstick and abandoning your process.
Trim into extensions. Trail the moving averages.
$FN Weekly chart. Today it put in its second highest close *if* the market can go back to up only tomorrow i think we could get a sender (will delete if wrong) Will keep this on watch remainder of week.
Hearing reports from my many hedge fund running friends that big money is about to turn from data centers into Latin American grocery store chains. (you didnt hear this from me)
$TBBB weekly chart looks ready to go to pleasure town (new highs)
$OSCR Daily and weekly chart both look really good. Daily chart holding the 21sma after breakout attempt and retrace, Friday saw some sizeable call buying for the name. Will be a watch for me this coming week.
$RNG With ER out of the way lets see what happens, overall weekly volume has picked up since February. I keep coming back to it because this base is so pretty.

$SPY $QQQ Being in Europe and completely off charts for 2 weeks this month definitely fucked me up. I missed a good portion of this run up this month but am still very happy with how my big account has performed this year.
This month has been a blessing, the real skill is keeping what I've made and when I see the market starting to turn reduce size and ease off gas.
$SPY $QQQ April was good to me. When the market gapped up and began to rip i was only about 20% invested, everything happened so fast. Market went from telling me i need to be all cash to almost immediately 100% invested and i didn't do well in that quick transition. i didn't want to force trades so caught the run with only about 50% invested at any given time.
On Monday i am leaving for London! I will be going to London, Edinburgh, and Paris. I have never been to Europe before so am very excited. If the markets could move sideways these next 2 weeks id really appreciate it.
$RAL Watching this into the weekend. I put less emphasis on round even numbers like 1000 lots but still i dont see flow regularly in this name and the chart looks primed. Option chain not very liquid so if i do play itll be shares. Looking for a close over $63
$NAVN On watch tomorrow, double inside day. A 15min close in the purple zone for a potential long. Todays lows would be over 5% away from this entry so id probably play the days lows.
