Idea Generation: The Lifeblood of a Trader

People Talk About Trading—I Really Trade.

Years ago, I was making more money than I ever dreamed of—and falling into a deep, dark depression.

Every pullback in my portfolio turned into a debate about changing my system. Every new high? I was a genius. There was no real understanding of good trading because I wasn’t surrounded by traders—I was surrounded by fund owners, marketers and business owners.

They didn’t know what risk management was. I’m serious. They literally asked me what that meant.

In 2022, I was up 50% compared to the $SPX, and they still asked why I wasn’t up more.

You know… the year bonds and stocks got destroyed—down 20%+.

Long story short? It was stressful. But it helped me figure out what I really wanted.

Peace.

Because what else is there?

And when I wasn’t allowed to talk to other traders anymore, I wasn’t myself.

People always ask why I post so much, why I do so many videos. It’s not about being alone or trying to grow my business. It’s about creativity—bouncing ideas off people I respect.
