JUST IN: Brentwood Police say 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson acted in self-defense, say no charges will be filed.

The development comes as new footage appears to show Ritchson's neighbor blocking the road while he was on his motorcycle.

"After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued," said the Brentwood Police Department.

"Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense."

"Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges."

The case has been closed.

got a DM from a guy who said he made $1.2M trading last year

looked at his profile. 847 followers. no course. no discord. posts maybe twice a week.

thought it was cap

asked him to prove it

he sent broker statements. verified. real.

so I asked him one question: "what's your strategy?"

his answer changed how I think about trading forever.

"I trade one pattern. literally one. for 9 years."

"just one?"

"just one. bullish engulfing at daily support. that's it."

"you made $1.2M from bullish engulfings?"

"I made $1.2M from being the most patient motherfucker on planet earth."

he explained:

when he started, he was like everyone else. 47 indicators. 12 strategies. telegram signals. news trading. scalping. swing. everything.

blew $340k in 4 years.

his wife told him he was done. trading was over. get a real job.

"that's when I got serious."

he spent 6 months backtesting ONE setup. bullish engulfing at daily support. over 3 years of data. (i don't even know how the fuck support/resistance work lmao)

found it hit 61% of the time with average 2.8R when traded correctly.

"that was enough. I didn't need anything else."

now he wakes up. checks daily charts for 15 minutes. if the setup is there, he takes it. if not, he plays golf.

"some weeks I take zero trades."

"doesn't that drive you crazy?"

"it drove me crazy for the first 6 months. now I don't even think about it. no setup = no trade. the market owes me nothing."

I asked about his typical month:

- trades: 8-12
- winners: 5-7
- losers: 3-5
- average month: $70-120k

"you make six figures taking 10 trades a month?"

"bro most months I make more than I made the entire year when I was taking 10 trades a day."

this broke something in my brain.

we've been told MORE effort = MORE results

but trading is inverted

LESS effort = MORE results

because effort in trading usually means:
- more trades (more mistakes)
- more screen time (more emotional decisions)
- more analysis (more paralysis)
- more indicators (more confusion)

he told me his screen time went from 8 hours per day to 45 minutes per week.

his income went from -$80k/year to +$1.2M/year.

inverse correlation

I asked for his advice to new traders:

"pick one setup. test it. prove it works. then do ONLY that setup for 3 years. you'll be rich and everyone will think you're a genius. you're not. you're just patient."

before I ended the call:

"one more thing. everyone who tells you trading is hard is right. but not because the market is hard. because DOING NOTHING is hard. that's the actual skill. doing nothing while everyone else is busy losing money."

he hung up.

probably went to go do nothing.

[L2WTrades @L2WTrades]

sat next to a 20 year old guy on a plane who casually mentioned he made $4.5 million last year

didn't look rich

t-shirt

jeans

beat up backpack

i asked what he did

"i trade futures"

"full time?"

"yeah, about 3 hours a day"

"$4.5 million in 3 hours a day?"

"well, it's not really about hours, it's about decisions. i probably make 10-15 decisions per month that matter. the rest is just waiting"

"what do you mean?"

"most people think trading is constant action. it's not. it's 99% waiting for your setup, 1% executing. that's why most people fail. they can't handle doing nothing"

he pulled out his laptop

showed me his calendar

90% of trading days marked: "NO TRADE"

"this is march, see? 31 days. i traded 7 times. made $380k that month"

"7 trades made $380k?"

"yeah, because they were the RIGHT 7 trades. everyone else took 200 trades that month and lost money because they were WRONG trades. quality over quantity"

"how do you know which 7 to take?"

"i don't trade unless i'd bet my house on it"

"what?"

"every trade, i ask myself: would i bet my house on this setup? if the answer is no, i don't trade. most setups? the answer is no. but 7 times this month, the answer was YES"

he kept talking:

"the biggest mistake retail traders make is thinking they need to trade every day. you don't. you need to trade WHEN YOUR SETUP APPEARS. some months that's 15 times. some months that's 3 times"

"what about consistency?"

"consistency isn't daily trading. consistency is ONLY taking your setup. if your setup appears once a week, you trade once a week. if it appears 5 times in a day, you trade 5 times that day. the market doesn't care about your need for action"

"but i feel like i'm wasting time if i'm not trading"

"that's employee mindset. you think time = money. it doesn't. correct decisions = money. i make more doing nothing 24 days a month than you make forcing trades every single day"

he was right

i was trading out of BOREDOM

not opportunity

i tested this for 90 days:

BEFORE "house bet" filter:
- 156 trades
- 41% win rate
- -$3,800

AFTER "house bet" filter:
- 11 trades
- 73% win rate
- +$14,200

11 trades in 90 days

because i stopped trading

and started WAITING

the plane guy was right:

"most traders are addicted to action. they need to DO something. that's why they lose. the real money is in doing NOTHING until the perfect setup appears. but doing nothing feels like you're not working, so people force trades"

"how do you handle the boredom?"

"i have a life outside trading. i go to the gym. i read. i travel. trading is 3 hours a day MAX. the other 21 hours i'm living. you guys are staring at charts 12 hours a day hoping something happens. that's not trading. that's gambling addiction"

he closed his laptop

"here's the secret: the less you trade, the more you make. i know guys trading 500 times a month making $0. i trade 15 times a month making $400k. the difference? i'm SELECTIVE. they're ACTIVE. market rewards selectivity, punishes activity"

flight landed

he gave me his card

"if you want to make real money trading, stop trying to trade every day. start waiting for YOUR setup only. 90% of trading is waiting. 10% is executing. master the waiting and you'll make more money doing nothing than everyone else makes doing everything"

i never saw him again

but i think about that conversation every single day

the math is simple:

you're not paid by the trade

you're paid by the CORRECT trade

taking 200 trades with 40% accuracy = -$5k

taking 20 trades with 70% accuracy = +$50k

same account

different approach

completely different outcome

most of you are over-trading

thinking activity = profit

it doesn't

selectivity = profit

the traders making $500k+/year

they trade LESS than you

not more

they're better at WAITING

not better at TRADING

master the wait

make the money
