Most Trading Advice is GARBAGE… Here’s The Real Deal https://t.co/tVRWyeHB8q via @YouTube

99% of the advice you hear on social media and even CNBC and Bloomberg is garbage. Worse. It is actively making you a less profitable trader by encouraging FOMO trading and distracting you from the skills you ACTUALLY need to win

Day 32: Spun Off The Rails https://t.co/wPxAdCY437 via @YouTube

Train wreck day yesterday... but not gonna lie. I got lucky.

Like this post to tell JLoc his career is in social media and building a brand!!

It’s fifteen million times easier than trading, and he’s the only person I actually take an interest in following on X. No one else.

This young man needs to know he has a money making machine at his finger tips, and it’s not buying and selling options!!

[PotentialShift @PotentialShift]

Dude!!! Your career is social media man!!! Listen to me, you have a gift for this. You are the ONLY person I actually care about following on this thing, and I bet a lot of other people feel the same. That means something buddy!!

If you want to use trading as your vehicle, ok, good choice. But honestly, you just posting about your life is interesting

Start focusing on building a brand

It’s is 1,789 times easier than making money trading

God Bless, Sir

My take from yesterday morning on $SPY, certainly still relevant today. More to come on what today looks like

One thing I like about X though, I can warn you… knowing what’s going on in markets is prerequisite of successful trading, but far from the most important thing

Execution and timing trump prediction Every. Single. Time.

[PotentialShift @PotentialShift]

I see Trump is talking about peace and then saber rattling on #Iran. Back and forth, often on the very same day

Luckily for traders and $SPY, the market has now been conditioned to ignore the Iran headlines

Until bombs start falling or a peace plan is signed Iran news is becoming less and less relevant

Day 29: Trading Rules In Flux https://t.co/OsTvhQ7gx6 via @YouTube

Back, after some solid time off. Fresh eyes, and a clear head. And my exit and entry rules in flux, which is not a good thing.

[PotentialShift @PotentialShift]

I’m going to spend this weekend actually back testing some new ideas. My strategy again, and this week reinforces it… if I had executed it perfectly, which I didn’t, and which has to be factored in… right around $100 profit

And by the end of the week, yes, this was a good week for it. We had some action. Wasn’t dead

Not acceptable. $300-$500 a month, with great execution and fairly favorable conditions is not gonna cut it

Day 27: Another Day In A Slow Market https://t.co/KD5ovA4p8R via @YouTube

These are the markets that really make or break traders... the slow ones, and whether you try and force it or can be patient

Unbelievable. The move of this market and $SPY heading into this weekend. Just no quit in it??

Two rules to bubbles, and we are seeing one now: they always go further than you think

[PotentialShift @PotentialShift]

Alright, you got me. I’m a little allergic to back testing. I know, for a guy who’s preaching system trading, it’s like a priest who’s fooling around.

I do “eyeball” it running through old charts. I’ve also been staring at charts for 12 years… poor excuse, but it does buy me some leeway

You know what really bothers me about backtesting, truthfully… if it worked, why aren’t there that many more systems out there? And that makes me a little uncomfortable. Esp with AI now. If backtesting can prove a system works or doesn’t… there should be more winning systems

Yuck. Which makes me think either A) the market is too random to be beaten or B) at some point human judgement MUST be a part of any system.

If backtesting alone can’t find winners, and there are very very very few winners, then a hybrid is necessary. Rules AND judgement… and I guess I think that’s the real answer

Quantifiable, rules based judgement, but judgement that can’t be backtested.

Yea man… yea… the more I ponder it the more I think that’s the answer

If backtesting alone could make winners, we’d see a lot more winners. It takes a combination of a rules based system that can be back tested, AND an X component of judgement that elevates that system above something mechanical

BUT that X factor has to be rules based too, strictly. It’s just something that doesn’t show up in charts. And I don’t know exactly what it is other than a human judgement component
