The trading community’s addiction to technical analysis is reaching epidemic levels! Tragically, reliance on TA is causing too many young promising careers to go up in smoke. It’s the crack cocaine/fentanyl of the trading world!

What if I told you there was an easy trade sitting out there, available to most traders, that could be worth millions and/or make the difference between success or failure in trading... This simple trade involves trading one broker, for another broker that offers: - Greater

Glitches = Riches Glitch strategies take advantage of malfunctions, mispricings, arbitrage, or inefficiencies within a market, and truly offer the most edge in trading. For those who haven't read my book, here is a glitch primer.

3) Strategy without edge and executed inefficiently OR efficiently - Trading without an "edge" is gambling not trading. - The sharp pain brought by these losers is hazardous and can spiral into feelings of hopelessness. Extremely Dangerous! - Step away or trade simulation

Whats my average daily P&L when I get less than 6 hours of sleep? How are my trading results when I drink alcohol the night before? This is the type of data every trader should collect and analyze. Here are some more examples of "data points" I have collected over the years...

- It is much easier to improve execution than to find a strategy with an edge - Sharpen execution skills by making things as mechanical as possible. Try to automate. Also, work on trading routine to improve execution

Would call myself a “good trader”, I love the art of trading, but seen “god-awful traders” make more in a few days from ”stealing” a strategy, than I have made in twenty years from developing my own strategies Traders are judged on their profits, not their ability or originality

1. steal them from other people. if you know other people are making money trading an idea, it is often a good idea to pursue it too. this isn't school. the market gods give no prizes for originality or showing your work, an edge is an edge however you got to it.

As a bottom-picking, top-shorting contrarian, this hits so hard! It’s a crippling affliction I suffer through. Don’t follow my lead, instead do things the easy way. Ride the momentum, go with the flow, and save yourself misery and losses

stop trying to beat djokovic at tennis. the first fundamental problem traders run up against is that there's no beginners' market. you gotta compete for good prices with the best in the market. this is a problem. there are a lot of people better at markets than you.

Will double down on this, especially in current crypto euphoria. Plenty of edge out there regardless of style..scalping, arbitrage, MM'ing.. Here is a great interview with the legendary @ScottPh77711570 explaining how to gain edge trend trading in crypto

Advice to new/struggling traders? Look at crypto! Trading is all about finding an edge and taking advantage of it Lot more edge in getting some free cash from a crypto airdrop, than playing a cup and handle, pennant-busting breakout pattern on a midcap semiconductor

Seems poor little Optiver is late to the game. These auctions have been the secret cash cow of prop traders in the know for the last 25 years. The play has gotten tougher and tougher over the years, and now this seems to be the death knell I write about these auctions in my book

What's the point of "trading" down at the store and trying and save a few $'s when every tick in a trade can mean thousands $'s?? Unhealthy habits like this, and my overall failure to compartmentalize my trading has contributed to me falling flat on my face multiple times

one danger in our line of work is the tendency to see important aspects of life or relationships as "just another trade". you gotta compartmentalize hard, or you'll find yourself very unhappy.

He wasn’t speculating, he knew where the market was, and he knew he was getting a bargain; buy low, sell higher. Could call it arbitrage, could it scalping, but whatever it was, it was one hell of a trade, and precisely how every trader should think

1) Strategy with edge and trade executed efficiently: - losing always hurts but these trades HAVE to be accepted, losing is part of the game - The goal is to execute a winning trading plan, not to win on every trade - With edge and execution, you WILL make cash!
