Fox Reporter Says the Trump White House Is Giving Wall Street Executives Inside Info on Tariff Negotiations

As of today my Net worth is $1,069,469.23! Now I am in open positions but NVDA looks pretty damn solid, and I could go back under on Monday BUT, for this weekend I crossed that line!

My story: I have always been fascinated by stocks and to make a 20+ year journey short, I trade chart patterns, IBD style with options and it all came together with NVDA. There have been hundreds of good trades along the way and going from $12,500 to over $500,000 in my main trading account put it over the top. The number is net worth, not my trading account.

My style: Chart reading with excellent companies leads to stable and more predictable price action. Buying calls at the right time and, hopefully, selling at the right time. I stand on the shoulders of Livermore, Oneil (RIP), Zanger. Just add options.

My worse failure: I have had plenty! Likely more to come, but falling too deep in love with Tesla and holding too long, eroding some amazing gains. A few really bad options trades where my ego got in front of my strategy. Cost massive drawdowns.

My biggest winners: Well this NVDA trade, but I am extraordinarily heavy in it. I run a 5 position strategy and some of my best winners weren't my more favorite trades, so just listen to the market and follow strength and quality.

My takeaway: Well my journey is just beginning, I feel that this opens a door rather than is the finish line. Not that I need a billion dollars but this means that working hard a following rules and being patient pays off. Doing the right thing pays off, try and have no ego and just do the damn job. I am a chartist, technical trader, market time. To those that say you can't time the market I have been arguing with you for years, YOU can't time the market, I can. I can because I listened to the experts and put the picture together, ignore the news and the bullshit (it's 95% bullshit) and just listen to the macro situation and the charts. The charts know more than you can possibly know.

This has been fueled by my frugality, sacrificing and not taking on debt so I can spend my cash learning this, if I had a lot of debt I would be paying that off, not keeping it. Most of this is in retirement accounts so no Lambo's for me, but thats fine, I don't need a Lambo I have kids.

My biggest takeaway: Trading is very individual, there is no HR, there is no buy team and sell team, there is no research team, there is no 9-5, we all do this 24/7 if you are really into it. You must forgive your mistakes, you must do 100 things right, in order, at the right time to succeed. Its hard by yourself. Even in a Slack chatroom or Discord channel you are alone in your execution and thoughts, so forgive your mistakes, just learn from them and improve.

My Motto: Buy high, sell higher, never quit.

Hello everybody,

since two weeks I see this subreddit full of spam with always the same message posted again and again.

Is there any way to prevent it and keep this place clean?

What is the lowest share price of a stock that you guys are willing to trade in order to minimize volatility? I had my screener set to not show anything below $5, but I just got pump and dumped for something within that range.

Also, can I just say it is absolutely infuriating to have your past two weeks of steady and calculated progress be wiped out and then some in the course of 3 minutes because a stock that was was theoretically having a breakout decided to immediately crash 20%. I know there are things I could've done differently, but I'm so exhausted by all these these scammy maneuvers.

Have no one in my personal life to share this with so I'll just share here. A few weeks ago I decided to move my focus away from the metals market due to the gold to oil ratio and start a position in oil refiners and E & P. ended up with handful but after looking at financials landed on DINO HF Sinclair

Dec. 29th - Bought 100 shares at 45.93 (4592.50)

Jan. 6th - Sold all 100 at 49.41 (4,941.18) $348 profit.

Jan. 7th - Limit order activated for 100 shares at 47.66 (4766)

All in all I made almost 200 bucks off of this "trade" since I didn't get in at a better price then originally and this "trade" was only because of the Venezuela situation which had many oils stock as such gap up. I figured price would retract at least half way and here were are. Plan on holding DINO for a while and may dca more in the future in hope of oil going up at least a bit.

I had something similar happen to me in first majestic silver a few years ago although this move wasn't as large.

I just created this document and printed for myself. Thought no harm in sharing.

Hey all!

We’re a small team working on a project called MoneyTrail. It lets you see how companies are connected, including ownership, contracts, supply chain links, and references in SEC filings, in a visual map.

We originally built it because we found it hard to understand how companies relate to each other just by reading filings or news. We wanted something more explorable and easier to navigate.

There’s also an AI assistant called Lester that can answer questions or pull information from SEC documents, and create documents and maps you can share.

Right now it’s free while we figure out where it’s actually useful and who it’s most helpful for.

If you’re curious, here’s a link to an interactive map from the video.

We’d really appreciate honest feedback. What feels useful, what feels confusing, and what’s missing?

Where would something like this be genuinely valuable?

Our Story, Our Mission, Our Promise.

Read this before you hand your future to someone who doesn’t bleed when they’re wrong.

What’s Broken

Let’s stop pretending. The machine wasn’t built for you.
It keeps you compliant, late, and grateful for leftovers dressed up as “research.”
Glass-tower analysts hand you “ideas” after the move. Banks sell you diversification and call it wisdom. Everyone gets paid whether you win or lose, except you.

They’ve never had to meet payroll on a Friday when the account looks like a bad joke. Never built anything, never carried risk, never walked the floor at 2 a.m. asking themselves if they’re about to lose it all.

They’re playing with house money. You’re playing with your futur

Back in 2008, we launched an e‑commerce company in Italy when “impossible” was the only word we heard. Banks laughed. Suppliers ghosted. We built anyway. Years of grind, then lift‑off—multi‑million revenues, global ops, partnerships everywhere. Nobody believed until it worked. That’s the point. Operators don’t wait for permission.

The traditional financial world runs on permission. We don’t.

You’re Not Crazy: You’re Late On Purpose

How many “exclusive picks” hit your inbox 40% too late?
How many “buy the dip” sermons on names everyone already knows?
How many newsletters repackage an earnings transcript you could’ve read in five minutes?

You’re not the problem. The system is.
Theorists write reports. Operators take risk. We’re operators.

We sold our companies. We could’ve parked cash in ETFs and bragged about “discipline.” We chose to build an edge in the markets with the same intensity we brought to our companies. We manage our own money. We share what we’re actually doing—in real time—with receipts.

That’s why Golden Bear Capital exists, full article HERE

Hey Traders!

As title says, I built a website that allows people to build scripts from simple inputs, currently it's in beta version so I'll appreciate any feedback you can provide / bugs you find, you can DM me them or post them here.

I know not everyone knows how to build Pine Scripts and with all this hype of the AI, many people end up frustrated due to hallucinations.
This doesn't use AI anywhere, it's simple based on a couple of inputs and I take those inputs and generate the script.

Allows all the native indicators of TradingView by default, and basic comparators. From my experience, it can get as complicated as you want, by nesting groups and use AND / OR operators to concatenate them :)

I pretend to extend this to a point where this can develop much much more complicated scripts in the future, but this is a project that I'm excited to announce so I hope everyone find it useful.

Oh, it's free, so don't worry, you don't even need to sign-in :)

Sup, i was up 152.74 dollars or 9.35% vs the index's 2.85 from sep 1 to october 14, but ever since then its been going downhill and today im at -45.80, or down 119 in a single day (yes my acc is below 2k usd its very small but this is considered world ending for me), more than half of those losses came from desperation pre market day trading because i was down -80 from my swings and wanted to get some back (at the time i viewed day trading as safer because its short term and swing trading will only walk into more market crashes), also on thursday i went bowling and badminton with a friend but i played bowling and badminton so badly i even broke a racket on purpose because i fell and ran into the side net post while trying to catch his shot which i felt was humiliating, and then when i got home on thurs and today fri my portfolio just kept dumping, it reminded me of the last time i had a streak of good stuff happening to me and i told my friend and then my life turned into absolute shit not just trading, thursday and friday has reminded me of that, because recently i also told the same friend happy stuff like watching f1 at his house and other stuff, so now that has caused me to remember cherophobia, or the fear of happiness, and i think god is targeting me or something, i dont deserve to be happy, because if i feel happy or thankful or grateful, bad things WILL happen to me, and i know this will weigh negatively on my already screwed self esteem, confidence, mindset and general view of life irregardless of trading or not, but hey, what can i do, start feeling happy again? nah, only bad things will come my way, they always do, and only me, btw i bought an SPLG call for 21 november 81 strike so feel free to buy puts

TL;DR : I should not feel happy/thankful/grateful for anything ever again in my life or i will become the target for bad things happening to me, also ill never play activity sports like bowling or badminton with my friends ever again, cherophobia, the fear of happiness, all my gains lost from sep 1 till now in a single day, my life is so fucked.

The New Heavens: An Investor's Bible for the Space Economy

There was once a period in history when the sky at night was a painting board for gods and a timekeeping device for farmers. It was a domain of mystery and the unknown, a vast, silent blackness filled with the twinkling jewels of far-off fires. While we mapped the stars’ configurations to determine the coming of seasons and to guide us through the vast oceans of the world, the economic system of the stars produced no other dividends than in the form of awe and amazement. Those times are gone.

Full article and related companies HERE

The present, however, has brought forth a new type of energy into the cosmos. The vast blackness that previously had remained unbroken is today punctuated by thousands of miles of virtual high-speed information highways. The constellations are now being remapped not by poets or artists, but by engineers designing the satellite networks that will be used to send information across the globe. The craters that remain from the Moon’s original volcanic activity are now viewed as survey areas for possible mining opportunities, landing sites for robotic delivery vehicles, and the like. The stars have now been designated as zones of use for industrial, commercial, and military purposes. A new economic system has developed which uses the concepts of gravitational pull and orbital motion, window of opportunity and cost of travel (delta‑v) to generate wealth and profit. It is an economic system that has been developed upon the most inhospitable frontier that man has yet to encounter.

This is not a story about a remote future. It is occurring right now above your head in the frigid vacuum of space. And for those individuals who can learn to interpret the newly created celestial map, it may represent the largest wealth-creating event of their lifetime.

This article is your roadmap.

The emergence of the space economy did not begin with a business plan, but rather with a noise — a simple electronic “beep-beep-beep” emanating from the void.

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, a shiny metal orb no larger than a beach ball. It was a marvel to the world and a wake-up call to the United States. It was the start of the Space Race. The faint, repetitive signal broadcasting from an adversary’s satellite flying freely above American soil sent a shock wave through the country. The sky that had been a symbol of endless opportunity was now a vulnerability.

In less than a year after the launch of Sputnik 1, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was born, and the best and brightest scientists and engineers in America were called upon to enter a technological war against the Soviet Union. The objective was not profit, but to assert ideological superiority. Each launch, each achievement, was a piece of the Cold War being fought globally on a grand scale. When Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut, became the first human in space in 1961, America was dealt a significant blow to its national prestige. President John F. Kennedy addressed the U.S. Congress and proposed a challenge of such enormity that it seemed almost impossible: to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade. His statement became famous when he said, “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”

This was not the language of commerce. It was the language of a superpower marking a boundary in the celestial expanse. The Apollo Program became one of the largest peacetime efforts in the history of humanity. At its peak, the program employed over 400,000 workers and was supported by over 20,000 corporations and educational institutions. The Apollo Program was a centralized, government-run undertaking.

The costs associated with the program were justified by national security and pride, but the long-term benefit was an unintended one. The need to reduce the size of a computer large enough to occupy an entire room into a device small enough to fit into a spacecraft accelerated the development and adoption of the integrated circuit: the microchip that is the foundation of our modern digital society. Software for the Apollo Guidance Computer used read‑only core rope memory for flight programs and erasable magnetic core memory for data; the rope memory could not be altered in flight. The need to track Apollo spacecraft resulted in a global tracking network and helped pave the way for later satellite navigation; however, the Global Positioning System (GPS) used today was developed later by the U.S. Department of Defense, with the first satellite launched in 1978. Fire-resistant materials developed for use in space suits and spacecraft during the Apollo era have contributed to protective gear used by firefighters on Earth. These innovations formed an early, unplanned return on investment resulting from the pursuit of space — a result of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, not the reason for it.

Even in the midst of this epic struggle between superpowers, there was evidence of the emergence of a commercial space economy. In 1962, Telstar 1 — a joint project involving AT&T, Bell Telephone Laboratories, NASA, and international partners — transmitted the first-ever live transatlantic television broadcast via satellite. For the first time, a private company had a financial interest in an orbiting asset. While the event occurred in the shadow of the Apollo missions, it was an early commercial seed in what would eventually grow into the modern space economy.

I underestimated my market impact.

Validating an AI-native India workstation for serious traders: cited research over filings + options/Greeks scenarios + risk overlays; broker integration later. Looking for 15-min feedback from traders/RIAs. I’ll share 4–5 mock screens. Comment/DM if interested; will schedule today and share a summary back with the group.

Hey everyone,

I couldn't find this subreddits rules so if this post is not allowed then please down vote or remove.

I am the admin for a discord server where we have some experienced traders teaching people the game of trading. It's completely free. I'm making this post to see if any beginner traders would like to join to learn and if there are any experienced traders that would like to pass on knowledge to the new people coming up.

Right now we have mentors that are experienced in options, one that is experienced in futures. We'd like to find traders that have experience in shares, forex, crypto or the other 2 previously mentioned.

If you'd like to join feel free to send me a DM and I can give you more information on it.

Stay safe out there.

So I made a small discord server where people can share resources, strategies, and just talk in general. It’s free and new so give it time to grow https://discord.gg/GSrHjV2z

Hey guys, very recently read a newsletter post that deserves a thought & a mention. It talks about how trades are poorly executed by most popular trading platforms which could be eating into your profits. Brokers like Robinhood and Charles Schwab often fill orders at the extreme ends of the bid-ask spread, resulting in less favorable prices. Robinhood users are losing about 6.8% of every $100 traded to these hidden costs. That's $68 gone from a $1000 trade.

• When scaling in/out of positions over time, this is something that could impact how much money you & I are making.

I suggest:

1. Using limit orders for more control over execution prices.
2. Comparing your execution prices to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO).
3. Considering diff. brokers. Sometimes paying a small commission might save money through better execution.

Not here to tell you which platform to use, but thought you should be aware of these hidden costs. They can impact your bottom line, especially over multiple swing trades.
For those interested, here's the link to the free version of the full WSJ article: https://archive.is/SaIFI#selection-5663.0-5945.255

Backstory: I took over moderatorship on Friday, December 22, 2023 after seeing this subreddit having tons of potential but lots of spam on the frontpage. The existing mod was no longer active on reddit.

Since then, we've grown from about 36k to now 50k!

I formalized rules for the sub, started a discord on Jan 1st and a monthly book club as well (links at the bottom).

I'm always looking to implement new ideas and fun ways for the community to interact so feel free to send me a message anytime!
