Here is a quick 1 minute clip from "The Masters of Trading" Dan Zanger interview back in 2005.

Dan highlights some very important points which still hold true today and even more so in this current 2025 market.

- Not to be in the market all the time
- Less trading
- Limit exposure ( 3 - 4 positions max)
- Stalk the market and let it set up
- Anticipate 2 - 3 big trend moves per year. ( 8 - 12 weeks per move )
- Let it set up all over again.

Trade less!

A big part of my strategy is concentrated positions and to hit these positions when the deck is stacked in my favor. I talk about this a lot on here but I think this clip sums it up perfectly!

@aot3015 @AOTtrades Not perfectly no. But 172 held good enough to take a stab at it.

@AOTtrades $AAOI idea from this morning working well!

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@AOTtrades

Thinking out loud

$QQQ either revisits its ATH $7 higher or it trades back into $720 support before.

Long $7 upside
Short $21 downside

Timeframes matter

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@ontheslabs @AOTtrades Especially if you're sizing 200, 300, 400 or even 1k shares at a time.

@AOTtrades $SOXL intra-day higher low to work with here

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@it_is_Randy @AOTtrades

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@AOTtrades there's your initial risk covered on that $SOXL higher low intra-day trade

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@dmellos27 @AOTtrades No, $260 - $265 intra-day

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@RampCapitalLLC I think that trait goes hand in hand with actually being a consistently profitable trader.

Many traders struggle with regulating emotion. For the most part if you're autistic your emotions tend to be quite muted in even the highest pressure situations. I could go on about this.

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@zerohedge You could overlay $AAOI on this chart from April forward and it would basically look the same.

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@AOTtrades Lets ride.

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@tejas_bhosale @AOTtrades Thats a good spot for a T1

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@AOTtrades Good morning Stewie and AoT!

Watching $AAOI around the $165 - $170 level for a dip buy day trade today at some point.

[Trader Z @TraderZ]

@AOTtrades that $MSTZ idea this morning is now trading into 9.4x AHs. Big move off of that $8 level this morning!
