Multiply anything by zero, and the result is always zero—it’s called the Zero Property in math. Trading works exactly the same way, but most traders never make this connection. It’s why even skilled traders fail despite obvious strengths. Trading profitability depends on a…
Thanks, Peter. Proprietary trading firm* (that scouts global talent via sim). Appreciate the shout out. 🐐
There is only one Sim Prop firm I recommend. That is @Raentrading Raen is not for people who wants to gamble recklessly Raen is for serious people who want to learn to trade with strict risk management but without arbitrary rules that prevent you from developing your own ways
Weekend reflection: a lesson in trading clarity Every trading strategy, no matter data driven really just exploits one of five edge sources: 1. capturing trends (momentum/trend following) 2. fading extremes (mean reversion/counter trend) 3. exploiting relationships (relative…
Major announcement coming soon. Nobody's willing to invest in the technology we're about to roll out for our global talent scouting program. Different level of commitment.
We've eliminated all Phase 2 fees. Cohort 004 open. One rule → 60 days → Junior Trader on our desk. Final cohort before we pause applications for a major infrastructure upgrade.
Trading is the disciplined allocation of risk to a quantified edge. Profits are simply the trailing indicator.
Most traders think their inconsistency is due to weak setups, discipline issues, or psychology. Usually, they're wrong. The best traders I've ever worked with have an edge—but it's purely an edge of knowledge about their market. Ask them anything: • What's today's daily…
edge = positive EV with a causal rationale a valid edge has three C’s: Cause: a logical reason the edge exists (mandates, constraints, info/tech gaps, or human bias) Calculation: positive expectancy net of costs Capacity: enough liquidity to size without killing it If any C…
Good mail day thanks to @Trading_Tech Love having partners who know exactly what I need…fresh pro v1s to smash OB. Appreciate you guys. 🐐⛳️
There is one other MAJOR distinction. Raen is corporately joined to a recognized FCM and thus regulated by the CFTC.
Most "psychological" trading problems are symptoms of weak or ambiguous processes. Weak process → uncertainty → stress → impulsiveness → losses → emotional damage. Clear process → less ambiguity → lower stress → disciplined decisions → consistency. Your inner game is…
Professional traders see losses as just another business expense, never a personal failure. Win or lose, their process stays exactly the same. If you can’t separate feelings from results, you’ll never make it as a pro. Period.
Here it is. I don’t know how long it’ll stay up. Worth the listen while it’s still available. vimeo.com/1031249640
I was about to retweet the long interview to Gerko but it has been taken down already. If you find it, recommended. Interesting, direct. GSA has/had good people. XTX too.
Been dying to share this! This goes way beyond capital. They’re backing us with everything they’ve built over 20 years. 40+ exchanges. Global reach. All while we keep complete control. For those who’ve watched us build, you know we’ve always played a different game. ARB saw it…
ARB Trading Group acquires 25% equity stake in strategic partnership with Raen. One of the industry’s most sophisticated trading houses just deployed its complete infrastructure behind our mission. Every exchange. Every resource. Complete autonomy maintained. This…
We've got a Phase 1 trader who's up ~$15k—just shy of assessment min threshold—but he's demonstrated 50 days of excellent risk control with zero resets. We're advancing him to Phase II anyway because disciplined risk management and attitude always matter more to us at Raen than…
You can’t shortcut experience, but you can speed things up by paying attention when seasoned traders openly share their mistakes. Those lessons are gold.
In 2020, Iran attacked US military bases and I vividly remember sitting down at my trading screen all pumped up at the thought of all the money I was going to make. The US stock market pretty much straight line rallied all day; I absolutely did my arse. These types of mental…
“The most addictive drug on earth is a steady paycheck.” Maybe addiction isn’t always the enemy. The question is whether your steady paycheck funds your dreams or replaces them.
Best in the business is @TraderMayne and @breakoutprop and @Raentrading w/ @baynkr 🤝
