What Qullamaggie did was incredibly generous, and the trading community is better because of it. I loved having his streams on in the background while watching my algos in horror or playing COD and Halo.
But what he did is not the same thing as what many trading educators do today. People keep making apples-to-oranges comparisons.
He wasn't running a paid community, providing trade alerts, building structured educational content, answering thousands of customer questions, processing refunds, handling billing, managing employees, or dealing with all the other bullshit that comes with running a business.
No sane person signs up for all of that for free. If Kristjan had wanted to do those things, news flash—he would've charged for it.
He chose a different path.
He got to show up, trade, talk shit, answer questions, make a lot of money, and log off. He wasn't beholden to customers, employees, or a business. In my opinion, that's the smartest way to do it if your goal is freedom while still enjoying a community around your trading.
For God's sake, in Market Wizards, he even says on page 23:
"I never mentioned any trades I made during these livestream sessions."
That alone should end half the comparisons.
When you run a paid service people expect alerts. They expect hand holding. They expect customer support. They expect educational videos, content, Instagram, blah blah, all the things that have nothing to do with trading. And when a trade loses, they want someone to blame. That's the reality of running a paid service.
Choosing to share your knowledge for free is admirable.
Choosing to build a business around your knowledge and charge for it is also perfectly legitimate.
Those ideas aren't contradictory.
Kristjan chose personal freedom over building a company. He wanted to trade and share his ideas publicly not spend his life managing customers and the endless cycle that comes with monetizing an audience.
Money changes the relationship. The moment someone pays, expectations change completely.
These simply aren't equivalent comparisons.
If I could do it over again, I probably would've either charged significantly more for everything that went into running my businessespecially before AI made content creation dramatically easieror just done what Kristjan did. His path was almost certainly far less stressful.
And let's not forget one more thing:
Without paid trading communities that invested years into educating traders, many people, including Kristjan wouldn't have had access to the knowledge that helped shape their own trading. The industry didn't begin with free Twitter threads and livestreams.
The reality is simple: there isn't one "correct" way to contribute. Some people choose to give everything away. Others choose to build businesses. Both are valid. The mistake is pretending they're the same thing.
Plus now he has has this, which can take him anywhere in the world.
Just because someone can give something away for free doesn’t mean they should.
Take @TheShortBear for example. He’s spent years sharing ideas for free. But the reality is that people tend to value free information less. When you pay for something, you’re far more likely to put in the effort to internalize what someone is teaching and apply it.
The other reason he can charge for his knowledge is simple: he’s earned the right to.
I don’t show up to a university expecting to be educated for free. I don’t expect my tax attorney to prepare my taxes for free just because he’s wealthy. My electrician owns a multimillion-dollar business—I don’t expect him to work for free either.
There’s a strange misconception that once someone becomes successful, they somehow owe everyone else their time, knowledge, and education at no cost.
Markets have a way of sorting this out. People with nothing of lasting value to offer—the flash-in-the-pan personalities—eventually disappear. But when someone like Lance or Lukas charges for their knowledge, it’s because there’s genuine demand for what they provide.
A reasonable price isn’t just about making money. It’s also a barrier to entry. It filters out the trolls and attracts people who are actually serious about learning.

Honestly we should have all listened to @traderkylec . Bought BTC at 10k, years ago and when hit 100k, cash out, and leave.
Life would have been simpler that way. But we are all Degen's I suppose.
Moore Research Center chart for long seasonal in Gold that will kick in next week. This window has been profitable 12 of the last 15 years. Lower confidence factor but a bone for the perpetual Gold Bugs. l
Trillium Trading, live in Times Square.
Yesterday, we were featured on the @Nasdaq Tower, one of the most recognizable displays in the world.
A proud moment for our firm, our people, and the culture we continue to build.
We’re always looking for ways to show what makes Trillium different: creativity, ambition, precision, and a willingness to push past the obvious answer.
Great to see that spirit represented in the heart of New York City.
6/26 recap: $534,246.88
3rd best month of my career. Wide range of opportunities with 2-3 being bigger sized plays that lead to most of the profits.
Will make recap video later this week.
