Scalping is like trying to catch falling knives while juggling chainsaws on a tightrope. It's the trading equivalent of performing heart surgery with a shotgun. I've made $5,000 in a single morning scalping, and I've lost $3,000 in 15 minutes. It's the most intense, stressful, and addictive form of trading there is, and I'm about…
Let me start with a confession that'll either make you feel better about your losses or terrified about what's possible: I lost $100,000 in my first three years of trading. Not paper losses. Not "unrealized" losses. Cold, hard, gone-forever money. $60,000 was my savings. $40,000 was borrowed from credit cards and a HELOC because I…
I've blown up accounts at seven different brokers. Not because I'm proud of it, but because I'm apparently a masochist who needs to test every platform personally before believing the reviews. Over the past six years, I've traded options on TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, Robinhood, Tastyworks, Interactive Brokers, Webull, and Fidelity. I've paid thousands in unnecessary…
Alright, let's talk about the Greeks. No, not the people who gave us democracy and gyros - I'm talking about Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, and their bastard cousin Rho that nobody cares about. These are the forces that control whether your options make money or turn into expensive toilet paper.Here's the thing - every…
Weekly options are crack cocaine for traders. I'm not even joking. They're addictive, dangerous, and can absolutely destroy your life if you don't respect them. But they can also generate insane returns that would make any hedge fund manager weep with envy. I've made $12,000 in a single day trading weeklies. I've also lost $8,000…
Okay, let me tell you about the strategy that completely changed my investing game - covered calls. This is the strategy that turned my boring dividend portfolio into a cash-flowing machine that pays me $3,000-5,000 every single month. And before you ask, no, this isn't some get-rich-quick BS. This is a legitimate strategy that's been…
Okay, let's settle this once and for all. I've been both a day trader and a swing trader, and I'm about to save you years of expensive trial and error. Everyone wants to know whether they should be glued to their screens all day scalping for pennies or holding positions for days while sipping margaritas…
Listen, I'm gonna tell you something that'll piss off every technical analysis guru on YouTube: you don't need to memorize 47 different candlestick patterns with ridiculous names like "Three Black Crows" or "Abandoned Baby" to trade successfully. I spent my first year trying to learn every single pattern in Steve Nison's candlestick bible, and you…
Alright, before I give you this week's penny stock watchlist, we need to have a real conversation. I know why you're here - you've seen some 19-year-old on TikTok turn $500 into $50,000 trading penny stocks and now you want your piece. I get it. I was you once, except my inspiration was Timothy Sykes'…
