Why Engineers Make Great Investors (From a Superyacht Engineer)
As a marine engineer who’s spent years in the engine room fixing high-pressure systems under tight deadlines, I’ve realised the skills that keep a 100m yacht running smoothly are the exact same ones that crush it in the markets:
• Debugging complex problems all day trains you to analyse charts and data without emotion – no panic selling when the market “overheats”.
��� Risk management is life or death at sea: one wrong calculation and things go south fast. Same with position sizing and stop losses.
• Patience – overhauling a main engine takes weeks of methodical work. Investing? Compound over years, not days.
• Systems thinking: We build redundancies and follow protocols. In trading, that’s sticking to your strategy, backtesting, and letting winners run.
• Volatility? Try handling 10m swells while keeping generators stable. Markets dipping feels like calm waters in comparison.
Not every engineer gets rich trading, but that logical, process-driven mindset gives us a serious edge. NFA, just my experience turning wrenches into wins.

Patience paying off on the challenge account 3k-1Million. $OSCR biggest gainers today and $ASTS overall. No positions added or removed in December or January.

Precious metals rising- a sign?

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@TheLongInvest I listened the first time- cleared out all margin, sold off a lot of shares and now holding only undervalued positions.

What I did this week:

I changed a sea water pump on the Caterpillar main engines. Then stripped the old one down and overhauled it ready as a spare.

I fixed a bridge window wiper that was not functional,

I repaired a galley induction hob.

I completed performance reviews for the engine room team.

I handed over to the other Chief engineer .

I sat on the beach at St.Marteen watching the planes land.

Flew home.

Checked over the charts and news regarding current holdings in challenge account.

Continue to hold:

$ASTS target $150
$NVO target $150
$ZETA target $30+
$HIMS target $130
$JD target $100+
$OSCR target $40+
$ETH target $15,000

I will not sell any of these positions until these targets are hit and I will add on drops. I have many more stocks I would like to add but running the challenge account in the same manner I started out and only adding capital from salary. In the style of a small account I will not add for the next two months- why? Because people use their excess cash at Xmas on family and not investments.

Green day to end the week but down overall this week. Dipped back under $10K.Made no moves again this week as happy with all positions.

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@GrindeOptions 2-4000 per week

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@WheelieInvestor I’m of the same opinion.

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@Leo_Traydes Do you think they just gave up ?

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@midascabal I’m leaning towards $NBIS.

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@LEADER_TRADING I believe it will go lower but it’s definitely a good price to start averaging in.

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@LandoInvests Me too

@NefflynBe People

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@ruth_capital @Polymarket Not good for retail- the more they trade the more they will lose

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@weary_centurion Agreed. Waiting for nearer 30

[TheHullTrader @TheHullTrader]

@ruth_capital @WatcherGuru That’s funny but $PYPL will be over 120 soon enough
