Float Mechanics

Software engineer turned trader. Building my own automated trading systems since 2020. Full-time for 2 years. Focused on explosive price moves.

[Float Mechanics @FloatMechanics]

I started building my trading software in 2020 while working as a software engineer.

Two years ago I left my job to do this full-time. It's how I make my living now.

I build automated systems around explosive price moves. I'll share the work and the results here.

If you want big money, you better have some big fcking balls

@ZssBecker “You don’t need to be rich, you just need to make $10,000 a month.”

Bro, that’s $120,000 a year 😂😂😂

The funniest part is that you genuinely seem to think you’re describing a modest, minimalist lifestyle. Rich people have completely lost touch with what normal people earn.

@BrianLeeTrades I think the hardest part is realizing that YOU are part of the system. You can’t just force yourself to ignore emotions or drawdowns. The system has to be built around how you actually behave, not how you wish you behaved. If you keep interfering, that’s a bug in the system.

@BrianLeeTrades I get the locate issues, but when I zoom out, I honestly don’t see much edge degradation in my equity curves. Summer 2024 was exceptionally good, but maybe that was just a peak, not the norm. We’re still seeing plenty of crazy moves and opportunities.

@brunofaggion If everyone presses it just once, it's useful. But if people start pressing it multiple times (and they absolutely will), the growth becomes exponential and eventually the entire monetary system collapses.

@Post_Thirty What does “peaking” even mean? Career? Money? Happiness? Women? Without defining it, this makes no sense. And if you're talking about women, some men in their 40s and 50s are so attractive they can turn heads just by walking into a room. So what's your point?

@jacktradesnq I feel you. I see traders making tens of thousands of dollars A DAY and I’m like, HOW THE FUCK do they do it?

Then I realize money means something completely different to them. Some of these guys spend $50k a month just to live.

[Float Mechanics @FloatMechanics]

@MFT_Get_Funded First of all, how the hell do you spend $150k a year?
Second, it depends on how badly you want freedom. There are countries where you could live incredibly well for a fraction of that.
But you need the balls to pack up and move. And let’s not pretend that’s easy. It takes courage

[Float Mechanics @FloatMechanics]

@ScarfaceTrades_ Man, I really hope you’re right. Trading is stressful as hell for me. I constantly feel like my edge could disappear overnight.

Should I work harder? Take a psychology course?

When we were kids, we didn’t question everything. We just played, watched Dragon Ball and enjoyed life

@chriszak Sometimes YOU are the spiral, but whether you move up or down depends on your environment.

You can keep turning a screw forever, but if the hole has no threads, you’ll never move forward.

Find somewhere you can actually grow.

@willbakerships the problem is that our entire concept of work is outdated. we are still trying to preserve 20th-century jobs when most of those tasks are automatable.

hunanity needs bigger ambitions. colonize Mars, build megastructures, cure diseases, explore the universe.

[Float Mechanics @FloatMechanics]

@Tekeee This was very true before AI. Now that anyone can build software, I wonder how much longer it’ll remain such a great opportunity. Software itself is becoming a commodity.

But yeah, it was an incredible time to be a developer and build things from your bedroom.
