HOW I COUD HAVE SAVED @traderkylec $278,641 (AND PROBABLY SAVED YOU SOME MONEY TOO)!

Here is my reaction video to the worst trading month of Kyle's career. The truth is he didn't do anything that bad, but at his level, a few key nuances could have helped save him big money.

Many other traders in my network made these same mistakes. Learn from this and let others pay the tuition for you!

A CRITICAL MESSAGE TO ALL TRADERS

I would be remiss not to speak about the carnage that went on in the crypto markets yesterday. To those who just lost everything in the liquidation - this message is for you. And to those who had no exposure whatsoever - this message is also for you.

As awful as this moment feels, there is no undo button. But life does go on. I know that feeling. That pit in your stomach, that internal prayer that all of this is a bad dream. That desire that you could just go back in time and make those small changes you were so close to making. I feel you. I’ve been there multiple times.

No matter how many times it happens, it feels like your world collapses. You try to control your thoughts but your mind goes right back to what happened. It all seems hopeless. But if you’ve ever built anything once, you’ve already proven you can build again. Whether you lost $1,000, $1 million, or $100 million, the pain is real. Nobody’s pain should be minimized.

No matter how rich you are, you still feel those same primal emotions. We are programmed to feel that way. In fact, the more you lose, the heavier it often feels because the more your wealth has become your identity.

But recognize this: what you are feeling is our primal programming. Our evolutionary psychology to preserve and protect resources. That programming is flawed though.

We always have one ability: to take control over our thoughts and feelings. To recognize that we don’t need to keep reliving the same pain. As they say in Buddhism, being struck by the first arrow hurts. But we don’t need to keep forcing ourselves to get hit by the 2nd and 3rd and 4th. Even if it feels impossible, we can focus on the breathe and find control over our thoughts and emotions.

Money isn’t the most important thing in life. The things that truly matter can’t be bought, and they can’t be taken away by a liquidation - your health, your loved ones, your integrity, your ability to start again. The biggest gift we have is life itself and the freedom to carve a new future. That agency is what defines us as humans.

Get outside. Spend time with friends and family. Seek help if you need it. There is always room for a brighter tomorrow as long as you remember that you still have agency.

What you are feeling isn���t new. For millenia humans have felt this. Elon Musk and some of the greatest smartest wealthiest humans to ever have lived have also been on the precipice of losing it all. Multiple times. Every success story comes from those who persevered when it seemed darkest.

One of the most dangerous traps of wealth is how easily it fuses with our ego. Nobody is immune. Even when we are aware of it. Not me, not you, not any human. It’s part of our condition. The larger the number, the easier it is to confuse your net worth with your self-worth. Buddhism teaches that suffering comes from attachment. You are not your account balance. You are not your status as a trader. You are much more than that.

The hard truth is that the biggest lessons in life are usually learned through the rearview mirror. What’s done is done. The only way forward is to accept responsibility and move on.

Many peg their worth to the wealth of others. We see people around us make insane wealth. People we view as dumber or less deserving. So we ourselves increasingly move out on the risk spectrum to try to keep up. We must always play our own game.

The people we end up chasing might themselves one day lose it all. Never ever try to keep up with what others are doing. That is part of the toxicity of social media and the pnl porn that occurs on this platform. Play your own long game.

I speak out against the cherry-picked bs gain porn. It was everywhere the last few weeks. So many people try to justify the pnl sharing. How many people were wiped out from simply trying to keep up w the that selective pnl porn posted on social? How many of those posters will quietly fade away after this event?

The best thing you can do? Get away from the screens. Get off social. Stop looking at charts and prices. Spend the weekend outdoors. Appreciate the beauty of the sunset. Of nature. Notice that the world still goes on. As massive as this feels, it will pass with time and you will be better for this. The same way every awful thing in your life also came to pass and you came through stronger.

But make sure if you are learning this lesson, you only learn it once.

It is a brutal but necessary reminder: leverage kills. Markets will always surprise you. Never keep all your eggs in one basket. Segregate accounts. Keep a rainy-day fund in safe assets. Protect your downside before you chase the upside.

Over the long run, everyone will face fat tail events that can bankrupt you with leverage.

If you weren’t caught in this wipeout, count yourself lucky… and take this as a free lesson learned without paying the tuition. Reflect deeply on your own exposure and the risks you might not even see, especially the hidden leverage that comes from overconfidence in bull markets.

You only need to get rich once. Don’t let the market teach you that lesson the hard way.

Much love. Be safe. Try to find gratitude. You always have agency. No matter how bad anything gets.

MY REACTION TO @TORITRADES TRENDLINE STRATEGY & HOW I USE TRENDLINES

Watch what I think of Tori’s viral trendline trading strategy, my thoughts on simple trading systems, plus how I incorporate them into my own trading.

https://t.co/5uTQ6ThZ63

[Lance Breitstein 🇺🇸🌎 @TheOneLanceB]

THE RAW TRUTH - WHY I SELL A TRADING COURSE!

The common reaction (mine included) is: “If you’re actually so great of a trader, why would you sell a course?” Why is a supposedly "elite" trader openly sharing his knowledge or doing any of this at all!?

The assumption is I must be a fraud, broke (lol), or washed up.

1. First raw truth - I no longer am willing to pay the physical, psychological, and emotional costs of trading. I HATE the feeling of constantly checking my phone to check positions when I wake up or before bed. I HATE constantly thinking about my exposure while at the gym or at dinner with friends.

My dad died young and I’m acutely aware of my health and the sacrifices I made to get where I am at such a young age. Trading is NOT healthy. You’re indoors, sedentary, high-stress. It RUINS my sleep. I’ve had a professional team track and confirm that.

My goal is to be happy and live long. Trading doesn't help either of those anymore. Only for big market opportunities am I willing to trade bc I recognize what that money does for others at limited cost to myself.

Plus trading is REALLY hard. Always. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that I don’t want to be on forever. To what end? More money???

Now look, if you are in the trenches, if you are looking to make your nut still... I 100% get it. You SHOULD be sacrificing for success. I don't regret sacrificing my 20s for the freedom it has bought me whatsoever. But my values have changed over time, rightfully so. I'm now here to help you make that trade-off and help you earn your freedom, if it is one you wish to make.

2. “Yea, but why not just trade way smaller?” For the same reason Tom Brady isn’t out there playing rec football. Nobody on earth wants to go from the highest level of their craft to trading in the little league lol.

3. "But you're giving up so much money." Issue is the market will ALWAYS be there. Unlike athletes, aging isn’t gravity in this craft. Just because I can keep doing it, should I really obsessively trade and put myself through this for the rest of my life just because there is MORE money out there? By that logic, shouldn’t every rich person always do their job until infinite? Obviously not.

(FYI - the hardest part of moving on from trading has been ignoring the financial opportunity cost. This gets discussed thoroughly in my Market Wizards chapter. I am blatantly aware that I am giving up huge money over the course of a lifetime. I promise I can do math, know that money compounds, and am not a dumbass.)

4. “Ok, I get why you trade less, but why make a course?���

Look, I didn’t think I’d do this either. Years ago, after leaving @TRLM I started sharing my knowledge on Twitter for kicks. No plan, no vision. To my surprise, the content took off thanks to people like @investorslive.

I spent my whole career at Trillium mentoring and training other traders. And I enjoyed it! I enjoyed seeing others win! Now I could do that at a massive scale.

BUT - all of my content was being done haphazardly. For my more time-intensive content I started a Patreon that donated 100% of proceeds to charity. With minimal effort on my part, we raised $250k+!

AND… the traders LOVED IT! That was the lightbulb moment that I should do this properly.

5. Giving back is genuinely important to me, not just performative. My life philosophy is that we all win when everyone else wins. The world is a better place when we lift each other up.

Before I had much, I started a non-profit @impact_comp in 2018. It has now touched the lives of THOUSANDS of students, THOUSANDS of people in need (mental illness, homeless, cancer patients, children w Down Syndrome, food banks, etc) and my social impact competitions are now at over a dozen colleges across the US!

I truly believe that my content helps cut through much of the scammers out there. It was awful hearing stories of good people wasting years of their life and thousands of dollars on bs. The trading community deserved better.

Same reason why I have been a longtime speaker and Boardmember at @traders4acause. I want to connect traders, educate them, help them find success, and then give back.

It has been amazing to see how many people my knowledge has helped! I’ve had people in rural Wisconsin, a regional airport in Norway, at a racetrack, at a small gym, and all over thank me for what I do. That’s cool!

Don’t wana buy my course? No worries, I have years of content here and on YouTube 100% FREE!

6. “But why charge? Haven’t you made enough money?” Yes, I have. So have many rich people. Why does Brady still get paid? Or Sam Altman? Or Elon Musk? To many it is part of the scorecard, that is one factor. For me, it is more than that.

Most of my wealth will go or has already gone to charity.

That said, how cool would it be to be able to donate $100k/mo NOW AND FOREVER!? That has long been the stated goal of the course. (We are nowhere near that yet. Turns out marketing is quite hard!)

The other issue with not charging - and every single marketer told me this from day one - if you don’t charge, the user doesn’t value the content. I ignored that advice, refused to believe it, and ended up dead wrong. That was my biggest mistake and a part of why we ended the free version of the course and are instead re-purposing it all onto YouTube (YT also increases our reach & removes a sign-up friction).

Our data clearly showed that paid users value the knowledge more and commit to a course far more when they have skin in the game.

7. It turns out, I actually LOVE learning this new business. I’ve been absolutely fascinated learning from Hormozi. To get to learn from a living genius in-person is an incredible experience.

This work is ZERO stress to me. I never have a bad day due to content or marketing. I love thinking up new video ideas. I love seeing what gets clicks and what doesn’t.

Only driven, type-A people get here to begin with. So sue me bc I don’t wana lay by the pool all day?

8. As I’ve immersed myself in the world of content and marketing, I’ve begun to see the matrix. Building my personal brand has so many asymmetric positive effects and possibilities.

How do you think I got into the Market Wizards book or featured on WIRED!? That only happened bc I was public for people to find me.

I’ve been able to converse on this platform with some of my favorite idols. James Clear used a quote I tweeted in his newsletter. I’ve DM’ed with Bryan Johnson. In a month I’m going to Dubai to work with a trading firm. I’ve now worked with a handful of the best traders AND trading firms around the world bc of this platform. All of that is SO COOL TO ME!

I have a vision for what I’m building that is so large nobody would ever believe it. I do think there is a world where in 3-5 years, I become one of the trusted voices in trading and markets. That would be badass!

9. Finally… I’ve made incredible friends from doing this. Yes, big dogs like @theshortbear. Yes, even the crazy characters like @timothysykes. All of them, people like @investorslive, have shaped my life and who I am. But the infinite traders in between. From @RealSimpleAriel, to @jscherniack, to @LikeTheHotel, to @TheStrongTrader, @traderkylec, @thelaptoplegend, my pickleball bro @tradethedownhill in Miami, to even the close friendship with @TradesTurbo crushing steaks across the pond together!

10. There will always be a few haters who doubt my achievements no matter how much proof you put in front of them. That is the GREATEST compliment you can ever give a man! THANK YOU! You are the best free marketing I can ever get 😘

So there ya go… the most comprehensive answer I’ve ever given on why I do this despite all the skepticism around trading courses / content creators.

Now.... let's get the f*ck to work!

Much love,
- (The One) Lance B

A DREAM COME TRUE - MARKET WIZARD! 📈🧙‍♂️

Guess the cat is out of the bag. I had not shared this with anyone out of fear of jinxing it (funny how traders can be superstitious too 😄).

I’ve long shared that the Market Wizards series was what first ignited my passion and love for trading. I was mystified by the stories Jack wrote of such legendary traders all beating the market in their own unique beautiful ways.

When I set out into the industry as a know-nothing college kid, I could never have dreamed of ending up here. My sole goal was simply to provide a better life for me and my family. In my chapter, I openly share the experiences that made me who I am today. I also discuss the struggle of moving on to the next chapter in my journey which is what serendipitously led me to sharing my knowledge on Twitter and, in a roundabout way, eventually led to an email from Jack.

Life happens so fast that sometimes you never get the chance to take a step back and feel proud of yourself or to process where you ended up. This all still feels quite surreal and likely will until the ink is on paper.

There is no better ending to a story than to see it come full circle. Thank you @jackschwager and @gfc4 for the space to reflect, for giving me the opportunity to share my story, and to fulfill a goal I never thought possible. Cheers to the perfect way to bookend a career that already surpassed my wildest dreams 🥂

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE V (FULL VIDEO)

This is the most important concept you needed recently to stay out of trouble in the market, while still catching yesterday’s INCREDIBLE V-shaped bounce (see TSLA or QQQ). This concept applies to intraday charts, daily charts, & across all trading products.

Given its importance in keeping traders safe, I’m uploading the full video here!

MY RISKY GAMBLE!

My theory is peak panic has occurred overnight due to the capitulation in the yen / Nikkei. Largest move ever there.

I’m making the risky move of loading futures across assets and staying up all night on the bet we pare risk overnight and I’ll sleep during US.

It’s a bold move but can’t resist AAPL @ $196, BAC (my sleeper) @ $34, MU @ $83 and BTC -20%, NQ -6%, /NKE -12%.

These are some of the biggest moves I’ve ever seen, including 2020.

I have stops in everything at lows (some stuff I won’t hit out at this point). Now we suffer no sleep for hopefully the biggest trade of my career 🫡🙏

(EDIT: For clarity, my risky gamble is choosing to position now expecting we pare losses and to stay up all night during the overnight session rather than sleep and catch the US open)

YOUR TRADING GURU MIGHT BE A FRAUD IF:

I’m starting a new series for all the most egregiously fraudulent Furus. Will be a funny compilation over time.

I AM THE VERIFIED @KINFO GOAT 👑🐐

Yesterday I decided to takeover the @Kinfo leaderboard using my personal trading account. Sorry @Steven1_994 much love & respect 🤣 (@Kinfo plz confirm authenticity of my #1 All-Time Top PNL leaderboard position)

This will be the last time I verify myself & lead by example how supposed “Gurus” w their Rolexes & Lambos can easily verify their trading. I have ZERO affiliation w @Kinfo but believe their platform to be independent & tamper-proof.

I am a modest private person that prefers not to be public, but this is outweighed by the benefit of having a platform to help other traders find success while modeling the importance of giving back 🌎

I am not on here to give real-time alerts or execs or run a discord. I am on here to TEACH YOU ALL HOW TO THINK ABOUT TRADING & DEVELOP YOUR OWN PATH by sharing the knowledge I’ve built up after 30,000+ hours of screentime. Given the importance of trust in an industry of frauds, I set the standard to my audience as high as possible.

I do NOT actively trade like I used to & mostly stick to the big opps. I suspect in the coming years, I won’t trade at all as time gets allocated to giving back & other passions.

Now the question you all should be wondering… “Why all this effort now & where has all your time been going, Lance?”

If you are a supporter of transparent REAL traders sharing REAL knowledge, give this a RETWEET & stay tuned…

Next week I have an announcement to make 👀📣
