90% of traders dont fail because they're stupid. No, 90% of traders fail because they size up so fast relative to their knowledge and dispensable income, that they blow up before they have a chance to make all the mistakes necessary to become a profitable consistent trader.
Ive obsessed over this stock shit for years, and all those years of research, tracking, observing and trading have shown me that there are 5 undeniable and timeless truths about traders (smart money vs dumb money).
Here are the top 5 facts, use those to sharpen your trading:
Dont quit. Trading is 1 of the few exceptions to the sunk cost fallacy. if u already poured a ton of $ & time into this journey, then u may be closer to the finish line than u think. just identify what u're doing wrong (99% of the time it's probably dumb impulsive shit) & fix it.
Preventing people from buying (thus eliminating the demand side of the equation), yet allowing sell orders to still go through means the Firms started shorting the FUCK out of $GME $AMC ahead of the news, knowing there will be less demand to squeeze them out. That’s fucking DIRTY
Here's another reason why every trader should at LEAST understand how options work:
The most powerful people in the stock market (billionaires & >100M millionaires etc) are option sellers. They write calls & puts weekly/monthly & collect free premium. it's like dividends to them
Lil secret.
🎯The most ACCURATE trade setups (high win rate) must be entered a little "too late" and exited a little "too early".
💵The most PROFITABLE trade setups (high reward to risk ratio) must be entered a little "too early" and exited a little "too late"
#BearTipOfTheDay
It takes time to develop an edge.
it takes time to master entries.
it takes time to master exits.
it takes time to find the strategy that matches your personality.
It takes time to undo your bad habits.
And most importantly, it takes time to master your cunty emotions.
That's why i'll never stop shoving risk management down ur throats. the "I blew up" cemetery is filled with far too many traders who would've been phenomenal at this game, but simply got ahead of themselves & blew up far before they reached their full potential.
#BearTipOfTheDay
I'll save u years of data tracking and experience. the best long setups are simply bear traps. Largecaps or lowfloats, doesnt matter. Look up my "you gon learn today" setup if u need a visual. I stop out (if short) & go balls deep long each time I see it.
#BearTipOfTheDay
All jokes aside, I wish all traders the best. why? bc trading is by FAR one of the most difficult jobs in the world. it's a 3 vs 1 battle. It's you against the market, other traders, & YOURSELF. So apart from arrogant fucks, I love & respect every trader out there. Happy holidays
Whenever someone is trigger shy and afraid to take GOOD setups, it's usually because
1) they're using too much size
2) they want to be right EVERY time
Trading is not about being right on EVERY trade. it's about taking several trades & letting the winners make up for the losers
Taking a quick break from charting/data tracking to answer some questions.
Last time i did a poll, the top vote was for Volume analysis & how i use it in my trading. This is impossible to answer in a few tweets, bc volume is SO crucial to my trading, but ill try 2 keep it short
The journey of a trader is one of struggle and endless failures. you need thick skin and a stubborn fucking mentality to make it in this biz, simply b/c there are SO many steps u have to climb, SO many pieces of ur shitty personality u have to shed, in order to finally "make it"
Over a year ago I decided to give twitter, Tik Tok, most group chats, and some other addicting ass social media apps a cold turkey break.
Goal was to free up time and mental bandwidth to prepare for my second child, focus on other projects, trading, my other businesses and
The 1st step to improve your trading is to stop lying to yourself. You don't suck at trading because of bears/pumpers/ marketmakers etc. You stuck at trading because of:
Shit psychology /mindset
Shit setups (stock selection)
Shit exits
Shit sizing
Shit entries
#BearTipOfTheDay
I cant speak for every trader but if you've been in this game for a long time and poured your soul into it, there's no way in hell you didnt get depressed at least 57 times. For those of us that didnt have a mentor during our early days, pain was our only teacher.
The power of quality over quantity never fails to amaze me. As some of u kno, ive been working on a little experiment lately (less time in front of screens, more time with family/friends, working out, hobbies etc). I 100% believed that my profits decrease during this experiment
Each time a stock makes a big move on "unexpected" news, i always check option activity to see if someone knew ahead of time (illegal inside trading). And hello footprints.. We're just gonna assume this guy who bought $TWTR calls 10% out of the money was just "lucky" right lol
Unless u're a scalper, taking profits too early is 1 of the MOST underrated reasons why traders fail. Broker reports have confirmed this. Traders dont have issues finding winning trades.. they have issues staying in the trade long enough for the risk/reward to make fucking sense
So if u're a beginner, as i always say, work like a slave until u reach a decent level of proficiency. But as things start to click, slow down, FOCUS on your edge instead, and start prioritizing DISCIPLINE and BALANCE. Quality over quantity. Happy holidays folks

The 3 most deadly traits to excel in trading:
🔥Ambition - " i fucking WANT this... BAD"

if u're lacking in any of those 3, your money is mine.

It's like going to a 4 year college and spending all your tuition money on year 1.
Like Michael Jordan said "i never lost a game, i just ran out of time".
In the same way most traders who fail didnt really "fail". they just ran out of money.

Questions to ask urself when tracking data:
✅how often does this setup occur
✅at what time does it usually occur
✅what is the avg range
✅what signal/indicator usually marks the top/bottom of this setup
✅what are the fundamentals usually like on this setup?
#BearTipOfTheDay
One of the most common questions I get is "I feel like they're coming for my stops".
Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but fun fact, it's not.
The market is DESIGNED to stop people out. You will always struggle with entries, exits and risk management until u understand this.
I have to constantly remind folks that with a good RR, 50% winrate is more than enough
-40 trades a month (2x/day)
-50% winrate
-not counting fees
Risking $100/trade= $2K/month
risking $500/trade= $10K/month
risking $1K/trade=$20K/ month.
It's all about R/R

Don't come to the market looking for the perfect trade, come looking for the perfect fools.
Study idiots. Study emotional traders. Study FOMO traders. Your job is to fill THEIR trades.

Sustainable Trading in a nutshell:
STOP looking for strategies that work ALL the time. They dont exist. in fact there's only 1 and it's called inside trading, and it's fucking illegal.
Instead focus on strategies that work MOST of the time, and simply trade em with a decent RR.
Most ppl enter the trade first then place their stop a certain amount away from their entry. "i'll enter here and just risk X cents". That's wrong. Your stop loss should ALWAYS be protected by a key supply (if short) or demand (if long) area. That's the whole point of a stop loss
⌚ 2- Doomed to fail
Dumb money are only patient when they're losing. In short, they take profits on winners WAY too fast, but hold on to losers WAY too long. small winners, HUGE losers.
Smart money spend little time on losing trades but milk the FUCK out of winning trades.
Then,once u FINALLY beat all those steps, welcome to breakeven land. yes, u did all that just to STOP losing money. So pls stop giving ppl the illusion that they're gonna enter this dojo, learn a few tricks & boom it's lambo time. This journey will drain the fuck outta u. trustme
So if u're trading a stock that has options, STUDY its option chain. See where most of retail is positioned, & know that the smart money is literally on the opposite side. By expiration, they get the last laugh 90% of the time. This is a FAT edge once u get this
#BearTipOfTheDay
I wish I could retweet this 100 times. People look at me crazy when I tell them that. EXITS are the holy grail of trading. Entries are crucial, BUT are of SECOND importance to exits. A GOOD exit can bail u out of a bad entry. but a bad exit can NEVER bail u out of a good entry.
Anyway I promised i'd stop at the top 5 facts, so the thread ends here. I can share the rest of the differences between the 2 groups, but those 5 differences are the most drastic.
So study yourself & ALWAYS make sure u're not the sucker at the poker table
#BearTipOfTheDay
The reason many struggle with cutting losses is b/c they put FAR too much emphasis on INDIVIDUAL trades. Listen bro, ONE chest workout is not gonna get u swole, & ONE trade is not going to make u Jesse Livermore. Think longterm. It's just another trade. Move on.

So just focus on the meat 🥩 & potatoes:🥔

-basic candlesticks (engulfing candles, dojis)

"The best trades go into profit quickly"
This simple quote from Livy the GOAT is the CORNERSTONE of my risk management. You have NO business, I repeat NO business, being on max size if you're not in the money. This simple advice will save u from SO many fucking huge losses
if u're a beginner your only concern should be identifying what YOUR A+ setups are.
if u're advanced your only concern should be hammering the fuck out of them when they show up.
Trash setups rob u of financial AND mental capital. Not worth it in the long run
#BearTipOfTheDay
2/2 who is struggling with mental health, trust me, if u step out of your shell & look hard enough, I guarantee u that there are people out there who dont even know u but will risk their lives to save u. So please, never feel so alone that u come to accept suicide as a solution.
If only traders understood survivorship bias, they would understand why I lose my shit each time I see trading advice that doesnt center around risk management. U dont master trading by studying those who "succeeded". U learn the most by studying those who DIDNT
#BearTipOfTheDay
Honestly 1 of the reasons I want to spend less time in front of screens is simple. There is NO END to this game. Uwill NEVER be satisfied no matter how much 💵u make. And the more 💵u make, the LESS that 💵means to u, so u endup increasing size endlessly just to get the same rush
Traders have a hard time taking losses b/c they've been brainwashed into thinking that losses & red days are bad. That's like tellin a Poker player that folding is bad. A well executed stopout is NOT a loss. It is preservation of mental and $$ capital

Backtesting 101
1 pick a setup (squeeze, fader etc)
2 find 5 factors that happened BEFORE that setup
3 find a TON of other examples of that setup
4 check how many times those 5 factors preceded it
5 Build a trading checklist using the best of those factors
#BearTipOfTheDay
Yup. just master 1 setup at a time. Else you'll hop from strategy to strategy, setup to setup, indicator to indicator, just to come back full circle and realize you're trash at all. Laser vision is key. Most of y'all dont "suck" at trading. you're just all over the goddamn place
@team3dstocks
I'm starting to be able to tell if a setup isn't quite right just by glancing, but I still don't know why until I draw all over it.
Improvement is slow and frustrating but noticing it feels good. :) I get the "just trade 1 setup" advice now.
When I say study I mean this:
1 Pick a style (daytrader vs swing)
2 pick a side (🐂vs🐻 . dont worry u'll learn the other side l8r)
3 Track daily movers until u find ONE frequent setup from that side
4 go balls deep (study) until u master that setup
5 trade
#BearTipOfTheDay
Every week in the stock market, a large group of impulsive & emotional traders are almost guaranteed to lose money.
Your success is determined by your ability to consistently identify them and take the other side of their trades.

#StrategySelectionInANutshell
Even 6 months salary is not enough. People severely underestimate how long it can take to even breakeven, let alone reach profitability. They also overestimate how fast they'll be able to learn to control their impulses & fix their discipline issues. This journey can take years
I was givin my daughter some life lessons as usual, while monitoring my $AMC trades. Then I got stopped out on some $SPY calls & we heard the "order filled" prompt. I said "damn, i got stopped out". She looked at it & said "haha daddy someone took ur money". These kids aint loyal
That's why my best long setup (

Thats why my best short setup (2-3pm

) is simply a failed breakout

The habits that make u a better trader are NOT fun. optimal trading performance & discomfort go hand in hand.

-cutting losers is NOT fun, yet nothing else guarantees longterm survival

everyone's excited that a record 75M ppl voted Biden.
What's more amazing in my opinion is that 70M voted for Trump, ALSO breaking Obama's record. The fact that THAT many ppl voted for a man as bat-shit crazy as Trump goes to show how fed up most are of the far left's bullshit
Impulsive trades are the silent account killers. I remember 1 day, years ago, I organized all my trades on excel & did a running total of all my losses from impulsive trades alone. The number nearly gave me AIDS. u'd be surprised at how much money traders lose to impulsive trades
@team3dstocks
Just reading this now. I was up on the day and gave it all back and now red due to impulsive shit chasing trades. No one to be mad at but myself. Need to write down my rules and follow them.
What beginners and the uninitiated focus on:
-entries
-indicators
-PNL
what veterans and those who've been fondled by the market's unforgiving nature focus on:
-exits
-risk management
-psychology & emotion management
The boring stuff, is where success lies.
#BearTipOfTheDay
The hardest part about trading isn’t the “ACTUAL Trading” itself, it’s the mastery of emotions and shedding of bad habits which takes time and repetition.

@team3dstocks
🎖1 - Discipline
Starting with the most obvious one, if u already read my tweets.
Smart money are knowledgeable & disciplined.
Dumb money are (contrary to popular belief) knowledgeable enough to make money, they just dont have the discipline to STICK to what they KNOW works.
I have too many tweets on this. AVOID large losses at all costs. Large losses dont just set u back financially, they set u back MENTALLY. one single large loss not only erases days of hardwork, but it also fucks up ur psyche so much that it ALSO hurts your FUTURE trades.
The best teacher is pain. So the best thing that can happen to u to help u transition from the "stubborn" undisciplined phase is a series of blowups that will scar u for life. That's usually what it takes for most ppl to listen & start respecting risk management
#BearTipOfTheDay
lol story of my motherfucking life. In my 1st year trading all I did was buy the tops of parabolics or short the absolute bottom of breakdowns. I was the CEO of $FOMO Inc. I donated so much money to the market that year u would've thought I was a goddamn philanthropist
New "wanna get rich quick" traders make me laugh. Motherfuckers do 2 google searches, listen to one motivational ted-talk, and watch 3 Ross videos and think "Ok iM ReAdY To bE A DaYtRaDeR".
yeah ok. Get in line and spread those cheeks wide bitch.
The questions keep pouring in as usual.
will the market go up..
will it go down..
what about inflation omg..
what about rates omg..
if u know me then u know the answer is IDGAF !!
I trade momentum.
I barter with bagholders, whether they be trapped bears or trapped bulls.
reminder that most of ur work should be done when u're building ur system. The actual trading should be as effortless as possible.
Hard work=work hard every day until u die
Smart work=work VERY hard for a short period of time to create a system that will work for u until u die
Debate summary:
-The moderator was trash
-Trump still acts like a 5yr old and has zero respect debate etiquette
-Biden’s cringiness is still above vwap
-they need to mute the mic 🎙of the opposition when a side is talking
-i still pray Trump wins
Bc all i care about is $SPY
Just track shit.
Every night, review the biggest gainers/losers of the day.
Find what the gainers/losers had in common BEFORE the spike/fade.
After months of doing this it's impossible not to find clues.
That's how I found every single setup I trade today.
#BearTipOfTheDay
See i dont have an issue with people building on concepts Ive popularized, discovered, or built. After all that’s the goal of education. It’s not to create copies, but rather BETTER versions of ourselves. But what yall are not gonna do is copy what i say word for word & rename it
To the struggling trader out there who is still wondering "man, is this even worth it? should I quit now?" Listen u little fuck. Endure the small losses. Endure the sleepless nights. Because TRUST me, once u finally activate beastmode, it would have all been worth the pain.
Today's $BA:
Stock: The stock went from $365.55 to $402.67 = 10% move.
Option: The $405 Calls went from $0.01 to $6.25 = 62,400% move.
A $10 investment this morning wouldve turned into $6,240.
$100 into $62,400
$1000 into $624,000
Kill me now thanks.

The same qualities that helped u in other competitive areas of ur life (sports, gaming), will wreck u in trading. Pride, toughness, stubbornness, aggression. In sports, they are an asset. In trading, a liability. U must learn to put on a different persona when u sit at that desk.
The simplest strategy in the world, is simply trading against trapped traders and bagholders. Period.
Short pops when bulls are trapped (break of trend/support with massive volume), or buy dips when bears are fucked (break of key resistance with massive vol).
#beartipoftheday
Again, basic amygdala shit.
when u're up a TINY bit, it says "take profits now or u'll lose it all".
when u're down it says "cancel that stop loss, move it a bit lower/higher. the stock might reverse"
The result: small wins, large losses.
Learn to tell it to shut the fuck up
Come to the market with PLANNED entries/exits. Then EXECUTE that fucking plan.
If it was a PLANNED trade (ie short at 5, cover at 4, stop loss at 5.50, 1K shares), then why the fuck do u need ur PNL? u already know u're risking $500 to make $1000. just EXECUTE.
#BearTipOfTheDay
That's another misconception ppl have about trading. They think it'll be easier than a reg job. Bitch please. Most of us actually ended up working MORE. Shit, it's the only job where u can actually put in a 15hr study shift & LOSE money the next day instead of getting paid for it
@team3dstocks
Yep, trading has made me realize how easy it is to make money with my day job 😂
It’s easier than ever to be able to trade on the side.
Keep yo job so you can retire earlier.
Had to say fuck it & pullout the picasso skills on em.
When I say "let ur winners run", it doesnt mean short & close ur eyes like a fucking dumb ass. It simply means let the stock pay u UNTIL u see at LEAST 2-3 exit signals (trendbreak, L2/Tape soaking near key support etc).
📊5- Indicators & timeframes
Dumb 💵 use small timeframes & endless indicators
Smart 💵 use large timeframes & few indicators (the big picture)
Dumb 💵 focus on price 1st. Smart 💵 focus on volume & liquidity 1st, price 2nd. b/c they know that price cannot move without volume
1st u'll fail bc u have no clue wtf u're doing. Then u'll fail b/c u'll find a full of shit guru. then u'll fail b/c u dont have a proven strategy. then u'll fail b/c u keep fuckin up ur entries. then u'll fail b/c u keep fucking up ur exits. then u'll fail bc ur a stubborn prick
$SNES 92% ADF score, so great potential fader.
Not a vwap boulevard setup so remember the top 3 rules:
1 wait for pm shorts to get squeezed out
2 wait for pm bulls to load up long (intraday bagholders)
3 drop Mjolnir 🔨 on high volume trendbreak & set ur stops
#ADFrules
The smart money, those who consistently profit off the 90%, have SPECIFIC, DEFINED strategies. That means they trade the SAME way EVERY time. What this means 4 u, is that if u study ENOUGH moves, u WILL find their footprints. The only price u have to pay, is a few sleepless night
It blows my mind how lucky some of u new traders are. GOOD Info was NOT this easy to come by years ago when I started. My learning curve wouldve been a lot less brutal & I wouldve spent a lot less time hopping from DM to DM & sucking endless dick if it was. Take advantage of this
The most destructive state a trader can ever be in is what i call the "fuck it" state. that's when u are so fed up, so frustrated, so drained, that u just say "fuck it" to all ur rules & just start doing stubborn shit. im sure many can relate. avoid that state at all costs.
The ultimate goal of a trader is to hunt & capture big moves.
Over 90% of big moves are preceded by:
1) Big Consolidation (leads to big breakouts)
2) Big Overextension (leads to big reversals)
Use this to narrow down ur focus & finetune ur setups.

Another reminder for beginners on how important risk/reward is when growing your small account.
-50% win rate (coin flip)
-on a $2,000 account
-risking $100 max loss (1R) to make $200 (2:1 RR)
-Averaging 2 Option trades per day
And ur account doubles to ~$4,000 in just a month
because this industry is full of scumbag gurus who dont know SHIT about trading but fleece beginners left & right by seducing them with pussy PNLs that only look impressive to rookies & with carefully selected charts full of arrows on pussy size that only impress the uninitiated.
You are not alone. You are describing 99% of traders I ever met, myself included a few years ago. I sincerely thought I was missing chromosomes at one point. I knew what to do, and what not to do, but kept breaking rules anyway. What helped me change my cuntish ways (apart from..
anyway this thread is too long but u can tell how much this shit pisses me off. I see it year after year & it never seems to end. STOP falling for the flashy BS. the ONLY thing u should focus on as a trader is MINIMIZING damage 1st, maximizing profit 2nd. PERIOD
#BearTipOfTheDay
So they manipulate the stock NOT in the direction THEY want, but in the direction where retail will lose the most 💵by expiration. they make their plan based on YOUR positioning. Once u get this, SO much will start to make sense. Retail is playing checkers. They're playing chess.
In terms of efficiency, it is my personal opinion that EVERYONE should LEARN how to trade. Everyone. No other skill (once mastered) can return as much capital, in as little time, and with as much freedom (no boss) & comfort (pajamas) than trading. But dont trade to be wealthy,
Discipline tips:
sleep 8hr/d
dont trade fasted
exercise daily
stop eating like shit
plan ur stops/targets (exits) BEFORE ur entries
hide ur PNL
Staring at PNL & seeing a number u DONT want to see is literally the fastest way to summon Full Retard mode.

$GME calls went BERSERK (especially the $45 & $54 calls)
The $54C went from $0.01 to $21.55 (+215,400%)

That's why ppl oversize. They focus on "how much can I make if im right" instead of "how much can I lose without going on fucking tilt & ruining my week if im wrong".
Never size based on maximum gain. size up so that the loss, if wrong, wont derail u mentally
#BearTipOfTheDay
@team3dstocks
The "too much size" advice goes over a lot of heads. It's so instinctive to think "if this is about to go from $4 to $9, why wouldn't I want to buy as much of it as possible?"
Goes hand in hand with "have to make up for that big loser yesterday. This will get it all back"
