🚨 do you understand what just happened with the SpaceX IPO..
Fidelity quietly dropped its minimum account requirement from $500,000 to $2,000 - a 99.6% cut that lets millions of small retail investors in days before the biggest stock debut in history.
The catch is who they need to sell to.
- SpaceX reserved up to 30% of the offering for retail, far above the usual single-digit share
- Selling within the first 15 days triggers Fidelity penalties up to a permanent IPO ban
- At a ~$1.675T pre-money valuation this IPO creates more exit value than every VC-backed IPO of the last decade combined
- The xAI side lost $6.4B from operations in 2025, dragging a Starlink-powered company billions into the red
They opened the gates right when the smart money needs someone to sell to. Read the prospectus before you become it.
@MariusSm1th Hey Marius!
Have you tried TraderSync? It’s the trading journal I liked the most out of the ones I’ve seen. It has everything you probably need and I really like the interface. I’ve actually been thinking about building something similar for myself in the future.
The best advice I got in my 20s: When you feel stuck, shrink the time horizon. Don't ask what the year needs. Ask what today needs. One finished task. One workout. One closed loop. One hard conversation. Momentum is a byproduct of movement. Remember that.
Trading advice that I wish was given to me when I first started -
Fade the herd, but know sometimes the herd can be right. Don’t blank on a logical setup just because consensus aligns with the bias. If it’s logical, then take it. Manipulation works both ways, traps only work if the herd is confident after winning.
A conceptual edge does not exist. Most traders use the same mix of conceptual strategies but it’s the psychological aspect and risk tolerance that provides them an edge to be profitable.
Journaling isn’t underrated enough. Everyone knows they should, but they still don’t. It’s something that is more important than it sounds. It’s where you truly learn the context of your process and how you refine & optimize your unwrapped gifted mistakes. Yes mistakes are a gift, so embrace them.
Leave runners and trail stop losses, but trail logically. Trailing a SL too early will keep you out of many winning trades and sometimes trailing too late or not at all gets you unnecessary loses. Many times when a 5R trade hits full TP for 100% close, price continues onward for what could have been a 25R to even 50R+ trade. On logical setups where the probabilities make the most sense, sometimes consider leaving a small size/minimum risk runner instead of fully closing exposure.
@CanadianPM For a moment, I thought you were talking about the Trump regime. Are you not going to comment on that? We Canadians stand in solidarity with the American people too.
@donalt Anyone who has seen the video knows this was murder. A doctor was present and prevented from providing care, and an ambulance was blocked after she was shot.
I entered this trade with a smaller size because ETH hadn’t hit the level I was waiting for when I opened it. It finally tapped the level this morning, but I was asleep and didn’t have my orders set, so I missed the chance to add more.
I manually closed the trade after that third 8h candle on ETH, since it also formed a 3 drive in this move. ETH corrected more than SUI, but I’m fine taking a small profit here.
Most people give up right before it finally starts to make sense.
At the beginning, everything feels exciting.
It’s new. It’s fresh. You see the potential, the freedom, the success.
You feel unstoppable.
Then reality shows up.
You start to realize how much work it actually takes.
The hours. The silence. The discipline.
At first, you fight through it with motivation, but motivation fades.
Soon, you hit the wall.
Progress slows.
The results don’t match the effort.
You start doubting yourself,
and the dream that once lit you up now feels heavy.
That’s the moment most people quit.
Not because they can’t make it, but because they don’t realize how close they are.
Every big goal has a breaking point.
That moment where it feels impossible, that’s not the end.
That’s the transition.
It’s the point where growth shifts from external to internal.
Your skills are there, your foundation is built,
but your mind hasn’t caught up yet.
And that’s why it feels so hard.
Every person who ever made it went through that stage.
The moment of exhaustion, confusion, and doubt,
where quitting feels like the only logical choice.
But if you can hold on a little longer,
if you can push through when everything in you says “stop,” something changes.
The work starts to compound.
The lessons start to click.
And what once felt impossible suddenly feels natural.
Progress doesn’t show up when you expect it.
It shows up after you’ve proven you’re willing to keep going without seeing it.
So if you’re in that phase right now, tired, frustrated, questioning everything, please remember this:
you’re not failing, you’re transforming.
Don’t quit now,
because you’re closer than you think.
Everything you’ve worked for is on the other side of this wall.
Keep going.
It’s about to make sense.
