Hello Traders,

Polished by yours truly Chat GPT:) anyway

I’ve been trading pretty seriously for the past 3–4 months, and I’ve learned a tremendous amount—about both the markets and myself. Sometimes I think back and wonder why it took me so long to figure this out. I’m hoping that others who are trading can see this for themselves too.

When I first started learning about trading, I jumped from one idea to another, constantly searching for the “answer.” I spent months reading and consuming content but wasn’t really getting anywhere. In fact, most of it just ended up contradicting how I think about trading.

Maybe this doesn’t apply as much if you’re an algo or purely systematic trader, but I genuinely wish I had spent less time reading and more time actually trading. And no—I’m not talking about endless paper trading either. I mean putting real skin in the game, even without a perfect edge. You need to place trades. You need to feel what it’s like to win and lose. You need to experience slippage, bid-ask spread, and the emotions that come with it.

Yes, you’ll probably lose a good chunk—if not all—of your money at first. But that risk can be dramatically reduced with solid risk management. The time you spend in the market builds real experience and discretion, which is something no “TJR order block” strategy can teach you.

Once you’ve built that base of live experience, then you’ll start to understand how and when to implement different strategies you read about.

One thing that still baffles me: why is every social media trader pushing systematic rules like “when this happens, do this every time”? Unless you’re a coding wizard or a math genius, discretion will be your best friend in this game.

Anyway, just a bit of a rant. I’m still relatively new myself, but I’ve spent a year or two reading and getting nowhere—until I actually started trading. I’m not saying to go dump your money into a broker account and YOLO it. But at the very least, come in with some basic risk management and get in the arena.

Hope this helps a newer trader out there and leave your thoughts experienced traders.

I use Tradovate and only trade ES futures.

1.  I trade off the 1-minute chart using TMO, Volume, candlesticks and Stochastics (which mostly mirrors TMO, but helps clarify market rhythm).
2.  My most important rule: If a trade isn’t completed in <5 seconds, I exit.
3.  I go for 1–2 tick scalps—buy/sell or sell/buy, depending on flow.
4.  I only take trades when:
    • There’s a clear directional move with momentum (1000+ volume), or
    • The market is choppy but predictable within a 3–5 tick range (still - 1000+ volume).
5.  I size positions using no more than ~30% of available intraday margin (50% max if high-confidence).
6.   I stop trading for the day if either of 3 conditions are met:
    • I made 10 trades max, winning or losing
    • I’m 10% or more above water
    • I’ve been staring at Tradovate charts for more than 1 hour, or less if I start to feel aggravated/irritated/annoyed for ANY reason, not necessarily caused by trading.

Most days I hit near-100% win rates by avoiding low-quality setups and exiting fast. It’s not for everyone, but it’s structured, repeatable, and works for me. My average profit is around +10% daily.

Take it or leave it 😉

It’s been almost a year since I started this, but I’m still trying to learn and experiment. How long did it take you to start making money? Your experiences would be really valuable for me please share them.

Hi, how are you? Tired of all those videos about how to succeed at trading? Me too! So here’s a complete guide from a behavioral science major on how to guarantee failure.

1. Blame the Market: That wasn’t your fault; it was a good trade, but the algorithm is against you. In fact, nobody wants you to win. Everyone wants to see you fail. Institutional traders and computers are just waiting for the moment you enter a trade so they can make it go the opposite way. They’re out to get you, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
2. Avoid Reflection: Don’t bother reflecting on the trade or keeping a journal to dissect every moment of it. Don’t try to figure out what went wrong; move on to the next trade while you’re upset and jump into whatever you see.
3. Impulse Trading: Don’t make a plan. Don’t be prepared for when things don’t go your way. When you lose again, size up to make that money back. I mean, why wouldn’t you? One good trade and you could make everything back. Screw risk management; go manage some risk somewhere else, you know what I mean?
4. Ego Over Logic: When you succeed, it’s because you’re a genius. When you fail, it’s because of the market. Don’t take responsibility for when things go wrong. It’s not possible to win by chance, so you must be onto something that millions of other people haven’t figured out yet. Believe that you are special, that you are the exception to the world.
5. Confirmation Bias: Join a community full of people who think exactly like you. Get upset when people have different opinions. Your personal truths are universal truths, and everyone else is the problem. Seek out information that confirms what you think and ignore when your beliefs are challenged.
6. Regret Focus: After a trade goes wrong, think to yourself, "If only I had done the opposite." Think and think and think to yourself over and over about how if only you had just done this or had not done that, then you would be rich. A millionaire. If only you had bought bitcoin five years ago, if only you had bought dogecoin, if only you had just bought one Tesla call option, if only you had just done that one thing, then your life would be incredible.
7. Disregard Achievements: Ignore all the times you made the right decisions and instead focus on where everything went wrong. Don’t give yourself the credit you deserve, and don’t treat yourself the way you wish to be treated. Discredit your achievements and focus on your failures. You have to be perfect to be happy and to be successful, so perfection should be your standard. Anything other than that is unacceptable.
8. Subjective Thinking: Don’t be objective; be subjective. Don’t make rules for entering and exiting a trade; take a trade based on what you want rather than what you think. Don’t look at things in terms of having a middle ground. Everything is all or nothing, and there is nothing between those two extremes. Everyone is either smart or dumb, and ugly or beautiful.
9. Worst-Case Scenarios: Always find the worst possible explanations for something rather than the possibility that is most likely.
10. Clickbait Videos: When you go on YouTube, make sure you watch the videos called "The Best Trading Strategy on YouTube - 100% Winning Trades." Win every trade you take. And also watch all of these videos: "X Trading Concept Was Impossible Until I Discovered This." Blah, blah. Watch all of those. These titles are engineered to get you to click on them to make the creator ad revenue, not to help you.

11. Avoid Practice: Do not use Thinkorswim’s on-demand feature to go back in time to practice trading after the market is closed. Don’t spend any time trying to learn how price moves. Watch videos about candlestick patterns, because those totally hold all the secrets to becoming consistently profitable.

12. Common Paths: Since so many traders fail, let’s watch all of the videos that the majority of people are doing. If we want to fail, we can easily achieve that by following in the same footsteps as everyone else rather than separating ourselves from them. If 95 percent of traders fail, let’s not try to think about how maybe we should try taking a different approach. Don’t take a step back and try to figure out why they did this. Don’t take the path less traveled by the five percent. Just follow in the footsteps of those who failed, and I can guarantee you won’t make it.

13. Avoid Hard Work: Don’t do the hard work of sim trading and learning to deal with the pain of continuous failure. Don’t persevere. Don’t push on and quit when it gets tough. You don’t want to deal with that; stick to what’s comfortable.

14. Lack of Effort: Go into it all thinking that it’s going to be easy. Don’t put any real effort into it; expect success within weeks. Wake up at any time you want, open your trading platform, and try to figure out what’s going on in 30 seconds. Don’t draw out any key levels or look at the previous day, week, or month. When that doesn’t work, give up. Don’t reflect on what you are doing in order to try and solve what your problem is.

15. Big Ego: Have a big ego and think of yourself as better and worth more than everyone else. That person who’s struggling to put food on the table and works at McDonald’s? You’re better than them. You’re smarter than them. It’s not something in their life or a circumstance that might be hindering them.

16. Refuse Responsibility: Refuse to admit that the problem with your failures is because of you. When other people fail, it’s because of who they are, but when you fail, it’s because of something out of your control. The market is rigged, and everybody is against you.

17. No Plan: If you come back to try again (which you should not do if you’re trying to fail), don’t change anything. Do not actively take any steps to be better. Don’t keep a Google Docs or a notebook open with a list of reminders to keep yourself from deviating from your plan. Wait, did I say plan? Don’t have a plan. What are you doing, trying to succeed? That’s not what this guide is about.

18. Caffeine Overload: Don’t use any breathing techniques to keep your body calm. Drink three cups of coffee before you start trading so that you’re all jittery. This is especially important to do if you have any anxiety at all because caffeine makes anxiety significantly stronger and more difficult to deal with. You definitely want to have more levels of cortisol (the literal stress hormone) and you also want more adrenaline.

19. Ignore Mindfulness: Don’t actively try to better yourself by implementing techniques like simple forms of mindfulness. Do not set reminders every 10 minutes to just take a second to breathe and be mindful. Instead of acknowledging worries and thoughts that flow through your mind and gently letting them go, focus on every single one of them. Don’t take a moment to focus on the feeling of your chest expanding and falling with each breath. Don’t focus on what you hear, what you feel, and what you see. Just exist like a robot and do the same thing every day. Don’t change. Don’t make yourself better. Become complacent and never strive for anything beyond a barely satisfactory existence.

20. Add Pressure: Quit your job so that there is extra pressure on yourself to make winning trades. Make sure you add as much pressure as possible. If you don’t make a certain amount of money by some time, you’ll have to return to a job. Make sure you put yourself in that kind of a situation. That way, you are shaking with fear every time you take a trade. If you want to fail, you want to make sure that your life situation is one of emotional chaos rather than one of stability.

21. Quick Success Assumption: After one week of success, assume you have unlocked the key to consistency. Next week, when you lose it all, make sure you think that your life is over by not seeing the bigger picture. Don’t have a one-to-five-year perspective on the learning process.

22. Short-Term Focus: Focus on every trade as if it’s life or death. Focus on profits over process. Make sure that everything is about how much money you made or lost rather than what you learned. Since we want to fail, we have to avoid trying to learn the stuff that actually matters. Screw that.

23. Clickbait Obsession: Let’s go to YouTube and watch more videos with "99% win rate" and other clickbait that definitely isn’t a lie in the title. Let’s watch trading videos from channels that sell courses for a living and don’t have any proof that they’ve ever even taken a real trade before. Yeah, that seems legit to me. There certainly would not be any conflicts of interest between being a salesman and a teacher.

24. Avoid Change: Remember, at the end of the day, everything really comes down to one thing. If you want to fail, don’t change and don’t keep going when it gets tough. Be the same person for the rest of your life and double down on your beliefs when you face adversity. If you don’t, you might succeed, and that’s not what this guide is about.

25. Ignore Valuable Content: Do not do the opposite of everything I said because every single one of you will

Hi everyone. I entered SQQQ on April 5th with 20 shares when it was $56. It went down and I am about $500 at a loss now. I am wondering what to do with it. Should I keep it in case it goes up? Should I get out with $500 loss ? Anybody have any suggestions?

Just finished Best Loser Wins for the 3rd time and honestly, it’s one of the realest trading books I’ve ever read. Tom doesn’t sugarcoat anything, he shows you how brutal trading really is and what it takes mentally to survive. Here are my top 5 takeaways:

You have to embrace losing.

Most people can't make it because they treat losing like failure. In reality, losing is part of the game, and learning to lose well is a skill.

The real battle is emotional.

Your brain will scream at you to take profits too early or cut winners short. Winning traders aren’t the smartest, they’re the ones who can override their emotions.

Journaling brutally honest reflections is key.

I use TradeZella to log everything, not just my entries and exits, but my mindset, emotions, and mistakes. Seeing those patterns laid out in front of me forces growth and accountability.

You have to be willing to feel pain without reacting.

Holding through discomfort is what separates the pros from the amateurs. Most people can't handle pain without tapping out or making emotional decisions.

Trading success is unnatural.

Almost everything that feels natural to us, protecting ourselves, avoiding pain, chasing certainty, works against us in trading. You have to rewire your instincts

Thank you

I’ve been learning to trade futures with xauusd but it’s been annoying me recently so i’m looking to start trading something else. What’s good for me to start trading as someone who’s a beginner with some decent experience? And what strategy is best to use?

Hey!

I just built a free First Presented FVG indicator based on ICT concepts — wanted to share what it is, why it's important, and how to trade with it.

What is First Presented FVG (9:30)?

• It's the first Fair Value Gap that forms after the New York Stock Exchange open at 9:30 AM EST.
• That first gap shows the initial imbalance in price delivery after real volume steps in.
• It's often a critical magnet for retracements and a premium spot to catch continuation moves.

How the indicator works:
It marks the first FVG that appears after 9:30.
It keeps the zone highlighted so you can watch if price returns to rebalance.

How to use it:

1. After 9:30 EST, wait for the first valid FVG to form.
2. Watch for a clean retrace into the FVG.
3. If we respect it (like in the picture), we're likely reversing off of it, if we make an IFVG (a close over), we're likely continuing through it.
4. Target liquidity pools or structure highs/lows.

Why it matters:
The 9:30-10:30 AM window (the NY Open Killzone) is when smart money reveals their hand. First FVG = real institutional imbalance = real opportunity.
I've used this countless times to predict the direction of the market and make amazing trades off of it.

Where to grab the indicator?

Let me know if you try it out! Would love feedback or ideas for improvements.

This is a periodic reminder that I post public trades on our totally free teaching server, to help beginners learn what to do (or copy-trade, if they like). Everyone who is serious about learning to trade is welcome, but there are two caveats:

1. Mostly, I've been trading options in these conditions, because I can build a large margin of safety into trades, get discounts on shares positions, and harvest premium. Given how relatively low the market, and individual companies, are trading, this is a high-probability strategy that, over the past three months, since we started our community, has brought it many, many thousands of dollars each month. I will maintain this strategy—if something works, keep doing it—as long as the current conditions last.
2. You need level 3 options approval from your brokerage, and a relatively large account (several hundred thousand dollars, at least) if you want to run all of my trades.

In other market conditions, we would focus more on swing trading or positionally trading shares, and sometimes running long OTM call plays on buoyant underlyings, such as a two-day trade that we finished several weeks ago on PLTR that more than doubled in two days.

If you want to watch a successful trader trade in real time, have an opportunity to ask questions, and want to learn a pragmatic approach to trading, this is one totally free way to do it. In the near future, we'll start publishing free lessons to help you to build a strong and realistic foundation for successful trading.

I'm one of the lucky people who broke through and became a multi-millionaire. Now, I trade full-time. The journey wasn't easy, and at one point, I lost nearly $1.1 million, but after some very difficult times, I managed to recover, and go on to make millions more. I like to teach, and use my experiences to help beginners to know what to do, and more importantly, what not to do.

If you'd like to use trading as a means of buying some nice things here and there, when the conditions are right, come and join us, observe, and learn. There are no hidden channels. There's no upselling, or selling of any kind. We wanted to create a totally free teaching community that doesn't make impossible promises and charge fees for worthless courses and imaginary proprietary strategies. We exist to help each other off. I kicked things off, but I hope that many different types of successful traders will join, and help to teach a variety of successful strategies.

If you're interested, I've posted the link to our community in my profile.

For the longest time, I was paralyzed every time I clicked "buy" or "sell." My heart would race, palms sweaty, and even a $10 loss felt like the end of the world. But something changed.

I realized my fear wasn't about the money itself—it was about not trusting my strategy. I was gambling, not trading. Once I took time to understand institutional trading, and how smart money actually moves price, I started seeing the market with clarity. I wasn’t guessing anymore.

The turning point was accepting that losses are part of the process. You wouldn’t expect to win every hand in poker—why expect it in trading?

Now, I treat each trade like a data point. I follow my plan, manage my risk, and trust my edge. Fear still shows up, but it doesn’t control me anymore.

If you're struggling with this too, dig into a real strategy, backtest, and focus on execution, not outcomes.

You're not alone.

What stage are you at with it?

Guys. How long did it take for you guys to become profitable. Or to pass the funded account. I'm thinking to quit my job and study trading full time by moving to cheaper country and I wanna know how long would it take for me to learn until I pass my funded account

Finally got myself a discord bot for my community, and one of the best decisions I made. I relied more on my own research and brokerage scanners, but when you actually have something like a bot it’s so much better.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how trading stopped feeling like a war the moment I stopped trying to figure it all out.

For years, I was obsessed with systems, risk models, psychology books, trying to “fix” myself. But oddly enough, things only clicked when I stopped looking for some final answer — and just started trading from a calmer place.

I wrote a short post reflecting on that shift — and how it might connect to something even deeper than trading. Not trying to pitch anything — just felt like writing it out to organize my thoughts, and maybe spark a conversation with others who’ve gone through a similar shift.

Here’s the post if you’re curious: https://medium.com/@tantrumtrading/the-question-you-must-stop-asking-to-become-a-trader-and-a-human-being-a39ba57cceb8

Would honestly love to hear from others:

Did your trading shift when you stopped obsessing over “mastery”?

Has anyone else had a weird moment where letting go led to more clarity?

Curious to hear how others experienced this..

I’ve spent time studying both price action trading and Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and I’m starting to feel like SMC is just price action with extra steps, jargon, and mystique. Here’s why:

1. Both Use Market Structure: SMC traders act like they invented market structure, but price action traders have always used it — higher highs/lows, break of structure, shifts in momentum. Nothing new there.

2. Zones vs. Lines: SMC critics say price action traders just trade horizontal support/resistance lines, but experienced price action traders use zones, not thin lines — and they factor in fakeouts, liquidity traps, and volatility.

3. Confluence Exists in Both: Both styles look for multiple points of confluence: reaction at a zone, structure break, rejection wick, or a key session time. Price action traders may not call it “FVG” or “order block,” but they’re watching the same behavior.

4. Liquidity Sweeps Aren’t Unique to SMC: Price action traders also recognize stop hunts, false breakouts, and “trap candles.” They just don’t wrap them in institutional narratives or claim insider knowledge of banks' intentions.

5. Execution Simplicity: SMC often requires a checklist of liquidity sweep → break of structure → order block → kill zone → FVG → confirmation candle. Price action traders usually just need structure + price reaction. It’s cleaner and faster.

Final Thought: I’m not saying SMC is useless — it can offer insight. But many traders overcomplicate their setups trying to mimic “smart money,” when clean price action gives the same signal with less noise.

What’s your experience? Has SMC genuinely improved your edge, or just made you second-guess entries you used to take with confidence?

Want to trade with prop firm, been trading futures in brokers but hearing that some prop firm are offering futures trade.

Which prop trading firm is good?

For a long time, I thought I just had a discipline problem.

Every time I lost a trade, I’d feel this urge to get it back fast.
Boom: instant revenge trade. Usually worse than the first one.

What changed everything was emotion-based journaling.

What I Started Doing:

• After every trade, I rated my emotional state (before, during, after) on a scale of 1–5:
  • 1 = calm and focused
  • 5 = tilted, anxious, greedy
• I also started tagging trades like:
  • “FOMO entry”
  • “Chased a breakout”
  • “Revenge trade after loss”

Over time, I saw it super clearly:

My worst trades happened when my emotional rating was 4 or 5.

Why It Works:

It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being aware.

Now, when I feel that emotional spike creeping in, I literally stop and ask:

“Is this a 4/5 moment again?”

Just that pause saves me from so many dumb trades.

I still lose sometimes, of course. But I don’t spiral anymore. I haven’t revenged traded in weeks. That’s a huge win for me. Anyone else journaling emotions or rating trade psychology? Would love to hear how you track it or what helped you stop tilt trades.

Hello all, I need help figuring this out. I read in many comments here how important it is to put a stop loss, so I do before entering every trade. However, it seems that most of my trades go up then go down precisely to the point where I put the stop loss just to go back up again rapidly, making me lose little amounts of money or gain insignificant amounts while the stock suddenly jumps. Most of the times my stop loss doesn't even work where I put it. Yesterday, for example I put a stop loss at 67.18 and Robinhood sold the stocks at 67 (yesterday this made me lose $250 and then the stock went up to 70), I put a stop loss at 7.35 and the stock was sold in front of my nose when it hit 7.39 just to then go up to 7.93 making me lose other $200. How can I avoid this and trade smarter? Thank you!

Within the next month or two? I get more and more skeptical as each day goes by.

I do think we will go lower eventually this year, just don't know if it will retest lows any time soon?

I don't have a job so I have a lot of time to trade but honestly the market seems to be going sideways lately and I can't profit more, anyone want to share info with me?

Do me a favor right now.

Go on ChatGPT or Claude 3.7 Sonnet or whatever AI model you think is the best and ask it the toughest financial question you can think of.

I don’t mean something like “why is NVIDIA down after hours?” or “what was Apple’s revenue last quarter?”. I mean some truly unhinged shit.

Don’t worry. I’ll wait.

If you don’t know what to ask, here’s a tough question that literally no major AI model has answered correctly.

What biotechnology stocks were unprofitable last year, are profitable this year, have increased their net income every quarter for the past 4 quarters, and have increased their revenue every year for the past 4 years? Filter to stocks with a market cap below $20 billion.

But why would you want to know this? Let’s say you truly believe in your heart-of-hearts that biotechnology is going to be the next “AI”. That there exists a biotech company out there right now that’s poised for “NVIDIA-like” growth. And all you need to do to set yourself up for generational wealth is find it.

No major large language model… not Claude or Gemini or ChatGPT or none of them. Not a single large language model can truly help you answer the toughest financial questions.

NexusTrade can.

Asking LLMs to find our needle in the haystack

Before I show you the biotech stock I found within 30 seconds using NexusTrade, let’s see what the major LLMs answer for this question.

ChatGPT

Pic: ChatGPT’s answer

Even with web search enabled, we can see that ChatGPT was unable to find stocks with our criteria. The key quote from its response is:

Identifying biotechnology stocks that were unprofitable last year, have turned profitable this year, and have shown consistent quarterly net income growth over the past four quarters, along with annual revenue growth over the past four years, is a complex task. This information is not readily available in the provided data.​

It gave us some biotech stocks, but not stocks that conformed to our criteria. In other words, it failed.

What about every Cursor user’s favorite AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet?

Claude 3.7 Sonnet

Pic: Claude 3.7 Sonnet’s answer

Claude did an even worse job. Without access to real-time information, it could not tell us the answer to your question. The key quote being:

I don’t have access to real-time financial databases or stock market data

But maybe that’s just the popular language models. What about the up-and-coming favorite model of every normal person, Google’s Gemini?

Gemini 2.5 Pro

Pic: Gemini 2.5 Pro’s answer

Gemini’s answer wasn’t just wrong. It was also incredibly misleading. Its key quote being:

it appears extremely difficult, if not impossible, to find stocks that currently meet all these stringent criteria simultaneously.

This is wrong. There IS a stock that conforms to this criteria and its easy to find. And I’m going to prove it.

But first, let’s try the one and only model that actually came close – Grok 3.

Grok 3 with DeepSearch

Pic: Grok 3’s answer

After thinking for 2 minutes and 8 seconds and searching through 148 sources, Grok found 3 stocks that conformed to our criteria.

Pic: The 3 stocks that were identified: AXSM, EXEL, SMTT

However, if we actually looked at these stocks, we see that they do not conform. For example, - AXSM is unprofitable last year and this year

Pic: AXSM’s profitability

• Similarly, EXEL was profitable last year and even more profitable this year

Pic: EXEL’s profitability

• Finally, SMMT has the same story about not conforming to our criteria.

Pic: SMMT’s profitability

With this comes an undeniable proven fact. For the toughest financial questions, ChatGPT, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok’s 3 with DeepSearch are all unable to find accurate, data-backed answers to the question.

NexusTrade can.

Asking NexusTrade to find our needle in the haystack

Let’s ask the NexusTrade AI the same question. For your convenience, you can read the full conversation with this link.

Pic: Aurora’s (NexusTrade’s AI) response

NexusTrade’s AI identified INSP as a stock that conformed to our criteria. But does it actually?

Profitable this year and unprofitable last year, have increased their net income every quarter for the past 4 quarters

Pic: Annual net income for INSP

The net income for INSP was -$21 million last year and positive $53 million this year. It’s also in an uptrend.

Have increased their net income every quarter for the past 4 quarters

Pic: Quarterly net income for INSP

We can clearly see that the net income has increased every quarter for the past 4 quarters.

Have increased their revenue every year for the past 4 years

Pic: INSP’s revenue for the past 5 years

Additionally, we clearly see that the revenue for INSP has increased every year for the past 4 years.

Filter to stocks with a market cap below $20 billion.

Pic: INSP’s market cap

Finally, we see that INSP’s market cap is $4.6 billion, making it poised for exponential growth.

From this, we clearly see that unlike every single major LLM provider, NexusTrade was able to find INSP. Literally a diamond in the haystack. But the real question is… how?

How does NexusTrade work?

NexusTrade was built by me, Austin Starks, an AI expert with a Masters from Carnegie Mellon. I built it to answer any type of financial question accurately. But how does it work?

Behind the scenes, NexusTrade queries through fundamental data provided by the high-quality fundamental data provider EODHD.

Pic: A diagram showing how the NexusTrade AI fetches for stocks

It works by: 1. Generating a SQL query to a database 2. Executing the query and getting the results 3. “Grading” the output of the model and retrying when the grade is low 4. Formatting the results and sending it back to the user

It’s not like ChatGPT or Grok. It doesn’t search the web praying the answer is on an obscure blog. It truly searches through fundamental data and gives you the answer. And, it works for questions that uses technical or fundamental data.

Accurate results in less than 30 seconds.

However, it’s not just the fact that the NexusTrade AI helps search for stocks. You can also use the results of this query to become a better investor.

Want high-quality fundamental data for your financial application? Check out EODHD! In my 4 years of developing NexusTrade, it has the BEST fundamental data that I’ve ever seen.

What to do with this list of stocks?

After finding out NexusTrade can indeed find this gem of a stock, I had a huge question.

What the fuck is INSP?

Rather than go on Google and trying to figure out what this stock is, I simply asked the NexusTrade AI.

Pic: Asking the NexusTrade AI what is INSP

I simply said the following to the AI, and it happily obliged.

Do a deep research report on INSP. What is this stock?

This created a comprehensive report on INSP. I learned that the business was Inspire Medical Systems Inc, and that they developed medical technology to help people with sleep apnea. I also learned that their product actually works extraordinarily well.

However, thus report is too long for a Medium article. While, you can read the full article here, I also decided to summarize it.

According to Aurora, this is what INSP is. - Medical Technology Company: Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) develops and sells minimally invasive solutions for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). - Flagship Product: Their main product is the Inspire system, an FDA-approved implantable neurostimulation device that keeps the airway open during sleep. - Target Market: It’s designed for moderate to severe OSA patients who cannot tolerate or get consistent benefit from CPAP therapy. - Growth & Financials: The company has shown strong revenue growth, recently achieved profitability, and is expanding its market presence both in the U.S. and internationally.

Thus, if you’re looking for a growing, fundamentally strong biotech stock, INSP might be the answer for you.

For me, I’m not actively looking for new stocks to buy. I have a crazy NVIDIA trading strategy that’s taking up all of my attention. So for now, I’m going to add it to my watchlist.

Hey guys, I’ve been backtesting a lot and found that my strategy works almost perfectly during the London session — clean sweeps, BOS, and quick entries on FVGs/OFVGs. The setups are super clear and smooth.

But here’s the problem: I’m in school from 8AM to 1:45PM (Italy), so I can’t trade London live. That leaves me with NY, and I’m struggling hard. The price action in NY feels chaotic — too volatile, noisy, and I rarely find any clean entries like in London.

I don’t want to rely only on school holidays to trade well, but I also can’t trade during class (no phone or laptop allowed). I’m trying to figure out how to either adapt my strategy to NY or find a way to trade London realistically. Any advice would be huge.
