#145: BEFORE YOU EAT BREAD, PROFIT ON WHEAT
Some people in the Czech Republic (where I originally come from) love recalling the time of deep communism. Their common argument is “bread was cheaper during communism”. I’m honestly not really sure what they mean by that. To me, bread still seems to be damn cheap. And after all the inflation, I think it’s even cheaper than during communism. So it triggers me a bit when I have to listen to this silly argument. I think it’s just a stupid opinion. So I always reply with a simi
#143: THE FAILING-TRADING HALO EFFECT
Do you know why so many traders fail? Because they copy stupid, poor, obsolete, non-functional ideas from each other. Seriously. I call it a “failing-trading” halo effect. And I am constantly perplexed to see how way too many traders just search the internet forums and look for how to copy some obsolete idea from others. Instead of being original and creative, and inventing their own fresh, unique trading ideas. From my experience, the trading industry is desperately stuck in
#141: 5 TRADERS, 5 SUCCESS STORIES
When I was in my trading beginnings, I was constantly looking for trading success stories. They were what helped me keep going. I often used to have that urge of being inspired. Motivated. Pushed to new limits. But such stories were not easy to find. Fortunately, it’s a bit better nowadays. Especially thanks to some great trading podcast shows. So today, I thought that I would share with you 5 podcast episodes I think you should really listen to. #1. This one is about a guy w
#139: THE TRADING POWERQUADRANT
I think I can summarize my entire trading career into a simple quadrant. I like calling it “Trading PowerQuadrant” because it’s what it really is. It consists of 4 absolutely key, essential, foundational elements, without which I would never be where I am today: The first one is a powerful model. I could never develop a single breakout strategy without a powerful breakout model. It would be literally impossible. Then there is a Rapid Design & Prototype process. Time is money.
#137: MY PLAN TO GROW AND RETIRE RICH
Money makes money. That’s the whole secret behind growing and retiring rich. If you have nothing, it’s hard to create at least something. But if you have at least something, it’s way easier to make that little something grow. I’ll be honest with you - I don’t want to keep working forever. I want to retire in a few years. Rich, financially secured forever. So I can just keep traveling and giving meditation classes and retreats as a hobby. So when I started thinking about how t
#135: IN TRADING, SIZE IS EVERYTHING
Do you know the easiest, most immediate way to increase your trading by 1,000%? It’s a very easy one: Just ten-fold the number of your contracts. Because in markets, it’s the SIZE of your position that matters. That can really make all the difference. Boost your trading profits really fast. You simply increase the position size 10 times - and you make 10 times more money. As simple as that. But now you ask: But how can I increase my position size, if my trading account is rat
#133: POWERFUL TRADERS WITH POWERFUL TECHNIQUES
It’s not their brain that makes successful traders truly powerful (despite the fact that we can think otherwise). It’s the techniques and edges that successful traders use. A very smart man can barely make a fortune with poor trading techniques. But with good, proven, and strong trading edges and techniques… ...ANYONE reasonably smart and disciplined can do it. How do I know? Because I alone consider myself to be moderately smart - I don’t even have a University degree. Becau
#131: 71 GAME-CHANGING TRADING TIPS FOR YOU (FREE)
Sometimes it takes only ONE single idea to change EVERYTHING. I still remember the hard days, where my trading struggles seemed to be never-ending. When I thought “man, I’ll never make it”. But then I had THAT one idea of a simple breakout trading model, that started moving everything ahead. It was simple, almost “too obvious”, yet very powerful. And to me, THAT one simple idea was THAT one needed seed for a complete transformation of my entire life. From a guy with limited f
#129: THESE HONG KONG TRADERS ROCK...
There is a reason why Hong Kong is the financial center of East Asia. People there simply have money-making in their genes. It’s a very abundant country, with a lot of billionaires and a lot of abundant mindsets. No wonder I have been to Hong Kong so many times already! But today I want to talk about two traders - Artur and Eric. These two guys simply ROCK. Just a few days ago, they sent me equity curves of 28 beautifully-looking breakout strategies. Here’s a snapshot from th
