"Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.' 'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist โ€“ย that too is just a point. Here's why I'm telling you this. When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is crucial โ€“ย because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." โ€“@rogerfederer

Trying to "nail" the next black swan or next big squeeze is a recipe for disaster. That's why all these names are running today. Everyone is trying to nail the next one. You're getting away from a high probability set ups and focusing on an outcome that has a very LOW PROBABILITY. Understanding market sentiment, recent plays, euphoric flows etc. is the biggest edge IMO - knowing when to tread cautiously vs. when to pounce. This comes with time. The easier edge is just to make to show up AFTER the event not necessarily try to nail THE event. It's best practice to reverse engineer the action leading up to the black swan event ie: our discussion the night before and situations like $RDHL to better be prepared for when the market is frothy and when tape is thin and when your risk may be elevated vs. other market environments. For me $VVOS is not the "play" Nailing the black swan should NEVER be the "goal" in fact holding for entire move of a black swan is reckless and dumb. Yes if it works congrats you got away with it that time - most times it won't work out that way. $VVOS was the $TPST which sets the stage for things to come. It's no difference than $OPGN $VS immediately following the $TPST action. And like today $MINM $SNGX $SMFL $CYTO $CMND major plays today that made TODAY great > yesterday if you were betting on black swan. Sure, $VVOS worked but what if it swiped to $20 and circuited back down? The key is when we have 500-1000% movers in a frothy environment, you better be on the desk the two days at the VERY minimum. But likely great flow for shorts for the following 1-2 weeks much like $PRZO, $TPST and currently $VVOS. That's the real takeaway. If you spend time focusing on nailing the black sawn you will be wrong 99% of the time. Focus on a structure/system/strategy that you can count on more than 1% of the time. $VVOS / black swans are just the catalyst to future A+ edge and liquidity. It's just a cycle. Now this will last a few days to a week and every short will start winning each pop, size up, and well, one will get away and cycle restarts.
Fintwit is undergoing a shift where individuals are either attempting to make extraordinary predictions or explain concepts based on isolated instances. This development is concerning because it deviates from the essence of trading, amateur hour and hubris. In trading, being right does not help you much in trading. How much you make when you are right and how much you lose when you are wrong is what matters. The current fixation on achieving perfection is distorting the trading landscape, creating a perception that a high success rate and pursuing extreme outliers are essential to success. This trend reflects the present small-cap cycle, marked by significant long-term outliers that are bringing out unfavorable behaviors in people. When discussing trading outliers, the primary focus should be on effective risk management, and individuals should know better. Teaching people to catch the next huge runner will lead to ruin. The model below shows exactly why this trend is happening now: Chart below showing the average intraday chart for gaps above 20%, 1mil volume and >1$.

Sucks seeing a lot of blow outs on Twitter tonight. Auto MAX stops save CAREERS ๐Ÿ’ฏ Have NO EGO. Do it! I promise you'll be PISSED half the time b/c it was top. THE other half you'll be ANNOYED but HAPPY. At least one of those times actually saves you from an outlier event.

I wanted to make a thread about broker integrated "Max Loss" limits based on my experience. I believe this is one of the most overlooked tools in any trader's arsenal. I only started using it myself this year. I will explain why I implemented it and why it is so crucial ITT ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Using same share size on every setup and every ticker will introduce huge amount of luck and randomness in your #trading. As beginner make sure to address that first, especially if trading instruments with different volatility range. Scale the size according to assets volatility.

Avoiding large losses is the single most important factor for winning big as a speculator. You canโ€™t control how much stock rises, but in most cases, whether you take a small loss or a big loss is entirely your choice.

In business: You need capital. You got expenses to cover. You don't expect to succeed from day one. You need some time before you make a profit. Trading is a business โ€” so treat it as one.

If we want a perfect entry, we will never trade. If we want a perfect company, we will never invest. If we want a perfect person, we will never marry. If we want a perfect job, we will never be employed. Perfection is not the goal, success is. #WednesdayMotivation
