Profitable strategies going to the trash…
We are throwing away hundreds of strategies that made us a LOT of money. Seriously. When I launched my hedge fund a few years ago, it was with a big database of exceptional, high-quality breakout strategies (all built with the framework I share in the Breakout...
Think different
These 2 words probably remind you of the Apple advertising campaign in the late 1990s. The campaign was a huge success, and featured a number of iconic personalities, including Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr, John Lennon, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Mahatma...
Most traders think about this all WRONG
“Work hard and you’ll be rewarded”. I’m sure you’ve heard this before. You probably heard it at home as a child. You probably heard it at school from your teachers. And you probably heard it at work too. It’s a common “understanding” around the world, and in lots of...
Is this portfolio going to be a nightmare?
Sometimes, you dream about something, but when it actually happens, you hope it will not turn into a nightmare. This month is a BIG one for our hedge fund. We finally got a ‘green light’ from our main institutional investor to assemble and start trading a new...
Just get it done!
This week I got stuck. No, it wasn’t trading (my hedge fund team is taking care of that). It was WRITING A SCRIPT. I’m a former filmmaker. And from time to time I still feel the urge to create a short video and channel some of my creative passion into this beautiful...
Are you ready to leave your 9 to 5 job?
Many people think that living from trading is difficult. I DON’T THINK SO. Not at all. Yes, it’s a bit different to having a regular job. You certainly can’t rely on receiving a regular paycheck in your bank account every month, so you have to accept the reality of...

Has this ever happened to you? You have a really good week/month/quarter/year in trading, making a nice amount of profit. Then the following week/month/quarter/year sucks, and you end up losing all or a big portion of those profits you made? In fact, it happened in my...
Finally NEW trading strategies!
We finally did it… What a week! Yes, last week was an important one for our hedge fund. Why? Because we finally started implementing a new generation of trading strategies! 🙂 Well, don’t expect anything miraculous. It is still the same framework we’ve been using...
Life and trading after 49 days in “prison”…
I never thought I could end up in a prison. But yes, I did. For 49 long days - like most of us in this COVID craziness. Sure, it was a “luxury” prison. Being locked down in my house, with everything I needed (including lots of pizza 🙂 ) But it still felt like a...
“Flat tire” trading accounts
A few days ago, I noticed one of the tires on my car was almost completely flat. The tire was looking a little flat a few weeks earlier, but it wasn't causing much of a problem then and I was busy with other things so I did nothing about it. But now, it was obviously...
