I'm 22 years old with a $50M net worth and until a few months ago I was a ghost on social media
I'm Brazilian, moved to Orlando and lived in a shitty apartment grinding 10+ hours a day learning to trade
Spent 2 years unprofitable. Lived off crypto savings while I figured it out
Now I day trade futures and swing stocks for a living and I've built a life most people think is fake
So why did I finally start posting?
Because I want to be recognised as one of the greatest traders of this generation
I have the results. $1.1M in trading profits in the first half of this year alone, over $30M from swinging stocks - but I’m nowhere near finished yet
But results without presence don't exist in people's minds
I want people to look back at this account years from now and see the whole journey documented from day one
This is my Market Wizards application in real time
When you’re testing a strategy - isolate and test one thing at a time
Look at the trades you’re taking, figure out if it’s better to:
•Trail your SL
•Take partials and move SL to BE
•Don’t move SL and just let it hit TP or SL
Guys will be testing a bunch of stuff at the same time and wonder why their trading doesn’t improve
Or they’ll test something one way backtesting in 2024 and then a different entry model in 2022 → they’re different years, who’s to say that the 2024 one is actually better or your strategy just overall performed much better in 2024
Come on guys, this is basic stuff
If your whole existence is just living somewhere terrible just to save some $ on tax you’re doing it all wrong
I’m living in Florida, US - are there places I could go where I’d pay less tax? Yes
But I love Florida and don’t want to live anywhere else, I’ll happily pay the extra money in taxes to live somewhere that I actually enjoy
Also, you wouldn’t be able to live 5 months a year in another country, if you live 240+ days over 2 years in another country they’ll be looking for you to pay some tax there (especially if you’re only living in your home country less than 180 days a year)
I asked a guy why he happily stays in his home country and pays 45% income tax and 17% sales tax.
Guess what he said?
Because the quality of life justifies the high taxes.
But there's something he doesn't know, and a lot of people don't know it either.
I could go spend 5 months a year in his country, the best months obviously, and pay 0% tax, because I'm based in a 0% tax country.
I'm also only required to be here, in my base country, 3 months a year to keep that status, so I could spend another 4 months in a different high-tax country and still pay 0%.
9 months in countries that "justify the high income tax," and 3 months where I'm based.
If you start making real money, the first thing you should do is get a tax lawyer.
This is facts tbh 😂
Going from nothing to $100k in a year will always feel better than making another million when you have millions
That feeling when you first “make it” just hits different
Everyone’s heard about the “95% of traders” fail stat
But for the traders that:
•Stick with it for 3 or more years
•Journal their trades and analyze them consistently
•Backtest for 1-2+ hours every day
I’d say the failure rate is more like 50%
Most of the dudes who fail at trading are never really serious about it (even if they think they are)
They just watch youtube videos on trading and tilt every week like an idiot
You’re only as smart as your ability to get what you want out of life
If you’re 140IQ and work a job you hate and don’t have what you want, you’re not as smart as the 90IQ guy who’s rich and living his best life
Sorry!
I’ve been saying this
When you’re young, take the RISK
Best case? You completely change the trajectory of your life
Worst case? You can still figure it out later
Playing it safe and putting $300/month into the S&P500 is purgatory
The best time to take calculated risk is early in your investing life - not on day one, but after 2–3 years of learning the basics, surviving pullbacks and understanding your own emotions.
Index funds returning 7–10% can make you wealthy over 40 years.
But a few well-researched 2–3x winners early can completely change your trajectory.
Build the capital first, then move it into index funds and let compounding do the heavy lifting.
You don’t get rich-rich by playing defence forever!
If you’re broke and trying to make it as a trader right now
The best thing you can do is take a break from trading, go make good money another way and then come back to trading in 1-2 years
I was making decent money selling rainbow 6 siege cheats before I started trading
Put everything into BTC at around $3k and made $400k in profits - which is when I started trading
Was living in Orlando paying $2k/m for rent, was barely going out, ate home-cooked meals
That runway let me attack trading head-on and I was full-time trading from the very start, was able to invest in great mentors and was spending 8-10 hours a day on my trading
I could’ve been unprofitable for 10 years before I ran out of money
If you’re barely scraping by and don’t have money to put into trading, the pressure you’ll put on yourself will never allow you to succeed
Make money somewhere else and come back to trading when you have some savings
