This is a journal recap of my trading last year. Although I didn't trade $GME, I did trade plenty of $TSLA, $AMZN, and $SPX for a 1270%, $18.2M gain. Here's the blog: simplerjohn.medium.com/2020-…

Most people Google. Most people ask a friend. Most people just stop. The bottleneck lives in your head, not the model.
Sam's really dialed in on this as a momentum tool, looking forward to seeing the updates. $SPX go.simplertrading.com/moment…
Everything happening in the markets right now is exactly how it has always dealt with too much leverage. Like a horse swatting flies off with its tail. $SPX #BitcoinCrash An opportunity for the unleveraged to buy the dip.
And here comes the liquidation event . . .
Bitcoin holders have a record amount of debt against their holdings. I'm hearing that 80K is the level where some of these holdings get liquidated. Markets are like sharks that can smell blood miles away. #Bitcoin
