For breakouts, no end-of-day entries. Only the first hour. For anticipation and reversal setups, I enter in the last 5 minutes before close in anticipation.
WHY TRADERS NEVER WALK AWAY ON TOP
From Jesse Livermore, to Marked Wizards, to crypto whales… most traders never walk away on top and often go on to blow themselves up after spectacular runs.
I explore why this is and how you can avoid it.

Gilbert Strang, an MIT professor, taught the same linear algebra course for 62 years. When he delivered his final lecture in May 2023, students from around the world tuned in online to watch.
The course is MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra. Millions of machine learning engineers, data scientists, quants, and self-taught programmers learned the essential math behind AI from his clear, free video lectures, even though most never stepped foot on the MIT campus.
Strang joined the MIT faculty in 1962 and retired in 2023. When MIT launched OpenCourseWare in 2001–2002, he was one of the first to embrace it fully. While many professors hesitated, Strang saw it as an opportunity to share mathematics with everyone. He filmed his lectures and made them freely available.
He completely changed how linear algebra is taught. Instead of starting with abstract vector spaces and proofs, Strang began with something simple and visual: matrix multiplication. He built intuition first using concrete examples, then introduced more advanced ideas like eigenvectors and singular value decomposition. He insisted that students should be able to explain every concept with a small, tangible matrix before moving to theory.
Beyond the content, his teaching style stood out. He spoke to students with genuine respect, patience, and kindness, never using words like “obviously” or “trivially.” He regularly paused to check if anyone was lost and treated beginners as thoughtfully as he would his colleagues.
As a result, Strang became the default linear algebra teacher for much of the planet. Universities in many countries began recommending his lectures to their own students. Some even replaced their in-person courses with his videos because they could not match their clarity.
His final lecture ended with a long standing ovation. Strang seemed surprised by the applause, smiled humbly, and simply thanked everyone.
In his short comment under the YouTube video, he expressed gratitude for a wonderful life of teaching and hoped others would continue teaching the subject well. No self-promotion, no grand farewell—just quiet sincerity.
When you add up every version, every upload, help sessions, and all the different recordings MIT has shared over the years, the total has surpassed 20 million views.
Today, the full course, including all lectures, problem sets, and solutions, remains freely available on MIT OpenCourseWare. One of the most important mathematical foundations of modern AI is still just one click away.
"There are two types of stock moves. Magnitude moves and duration moves.
Magnitude moves are moves in which a stock makes a very big, rapid move. The magnitude and speed of the move are critical in this kind of move. Stock goes up 20-50% in just a few days, or makes a triple-digit move in a few weeks.
These are explosive momentum burst moves and are more common.
Duration moves are when the stock keeps going up for a long time. But speed may not be fast. There are stocks that go up slowly in a stair-step fashion.
As a trader, you need to choose which one to focus on, as that has implications for your entries, exits, and sizing.
I only focus on magnitude moves. I have no interest in duration moves.
Looking at the price action the past few days, it feels like everyone is getting shaken out trying to chase highs.
The tape has changed a little bit compared to April/May. Looking away for the first 30-minutes - 2 hours and then checking back will save your account.
Price action is doing nothing wrong!
I'm in the new Market Wizards book!
This book series was a huge inspiration and motivation when I first read them in 2011 when I was struggling and being included myself is a massive honor, thanks to @jackschwager and @gfc4!
I'm also very lucky that I found two trading communities early in my journey @PradeepBonde and @IUTraders that in hindsight turned out to be Market Wizard factories!
Danas se održava studentski protest na Slaviji. Iako je zvanični program najavljen od 18 časova, Beograd je od ranih jutarnjih sati u znaku protesta.
Protest i sva dešavanja pre i posle pratite na našem sajtu👇

Krenulo zagrevanje, danas nam u Beograd na Slaviju dolaze ljudi iz cele Srbije koje sam upoznao u ovim najtežim vremenima za državu, građane i narod! Minimum njih 200.000, a sada nas ima na milione. Jedva čekam da ih sve vidim. To vam je, braćo, sestre i prijatelji, definicija bogatstva! Dobrodošli!
Moram da vam kažem ne��to, uopšte se ne plašim za našu budućnost jer imamo mlade ljude koji nas vode napred, imamo starije koji su to razumeli, imamo naše penzionere koji više ne padaju na jeftine priče! Sve to zahvaljujući studentima koji su u najgorim situacijama ostali mirni, staloženi i održali ovu dugu borbu protiv mafijaškog sistema. To nikome nije pošlo za rukom 14 godina!
Vodite nas, deco. Bezuslovna podrška studentima.
Srbija ili mafija!
Studenti pobeđuju!
