5 trading projects for 2020
I know, I know... it’s February already. So my trading projects for 2020 should have been set already. Yet, this year it was harder than previous years. The reason is simple: With the growth of our hedge fund, there are simply too many projects we want to accomplish....
I almost killed myself…
It happened 11 years ago. At that time, I had an ENORMOUS fear of flying, which is a problem for a frequent traveler like me... you definitely don’t want to sweat and shake like crazy during take-off and landing every time you fly. So, I HAD to do something about it....
Finally truly Elite traders…
It’s been a pretty exhausting week. We’ve been recruiting a small group of ELITE traders, for a one-year mastermind program. First of all, the program is by invitation only, so we personally review every application and then I have a short chat with the majority of...
Hacking away at your trading?
Last week I was testing some new Walk Forward software... And I wanted to compare the results of this new software with the results from Tradestation, but there was a problem... I needed to test it on lots of strategies. Not just a few. I wanted to test hundreds. And...
How to get anything you want (even in trading)
I got handed a pretty good lesson this year. At the start of 2019 I took some time to sit down and think about what I wanted to achieve for the year. I had some big ideas, and I had some small ideas. So I wrote them all down, tried to make the list manageable and I...

My biggest trading failure of 2019
We all fail sometimes. And in this post, I’m going to share with you very openly what I consider to be my biggest trading failure of 2019. But first, let me start with this: As most already know, as a trader, I consider myself to be a BREAKOUT specialist. In trading,...
This ruined my night.. but I’m glad it did
Last night, I was flicking through the channels on TV, hoping to catch something interesting to watch as I wind down for the day. As I was quickly scanning through the dozens of useless shows being broadcast, I stumbled on a documentary called "Capitalism: A Love...
Traders, stop doing this!
Last week I published a post about the journey of my hedge fund, which is now heading (hopefully) towards a 100 million Euro investment. And I was super pleased to receive lots of email feedback, not only on that post but also on my question about who intends to...
Navy SEALs, SAS, and Elite traders
About two months ago, Andrew and I had a great conversation about elite traders. We were both in the U.S., and the conversation was spread over a few days. It usually happened either in Starbucks, or Red Lobster, 2 of our favorite places! Both Andrew and I have quite...
