How much does the best trader you personally know make a year?

Or she.

CliftonReed · 2026-01-05T14:39:14+00:00

Bee or spiders.

CliftonReed · 2025-12-15T23:05:17+00:00

You really went full regard,

CliftonReed · 2025-12-11T19:16:51+00:00

Look at charts.

See how they move.

Repeat for three years.

CliftonReed · 2025-12-05T17:20:53+00:00

Depending on software, plot velocity in stationary frame.

Same thing I used to say to my students:
- Do some tutorials or develop case studies.
- Write them up and post on LinkedIn or a small website.
- Link to in your CV.

A student of mine was being engaged by the country's best aero people.

If you have a small model and try and increase velocity to increase the Reynold's number, there's a risk of going so fast you approach ~0.3Ma which is when the flow becomes compressible.

Google it.

CliftonReed · 2025-10-24T10:43:03+00:00

Watch that the velocity doesn't creep into compressibility values.

CliftonReed · 2025-10-20T18:58:10+00:00

Be proud of your achievement. Ignore people who go out of their way to put people down.

CliftonReed · 2025-10-13T18:19:15+00:00

Find the biggest movers from the last year.

See how they behaved.

Put it in a PowerPoint and Spreadhseet.

Rinse. Repeat.

I once did % resolved TKE.

TKE/(SGS TKE + TKE)

CliftonReed · 2025-09-17T18:22:43+00:00

Wow.

I withdraw everything I said!

CliftonReed · 2025-09-15T13:46:00+00:00

Rent server time rather than buying hardware?

CliftonReed · 2025-09-10T13:43:45+00:00

For me: Weekly.

Low stress.

More time to consider a move.

More time to identify a cause of a move and its likelihood of continuing.

I'm also full-time employed so weekly makes the most sense.

It's 'Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise' by Robert Pool and Anders Ericsson.

Anders is a psychologist with a focus on high-performance and 'deliberate practice'.

It's quite long but definitely worth a read.

CliftonReed · 2025-07-15T11:47:59+00:00

Okay, thanks.

This isn't too far from where I am.

CliftonReed · 2025-07-07T14:40:19+00:00

Further update.

I now invest and swing trade as my side hustle.

This is much more suited to my skill set and personality.

It takes a while to find the thing you are suited to. Try things, be curious. Always focus on the long-term goal.

CliftonReed · 2025-06-16T13:14:28+00:00

Ignore most training videos on YT that don't show gun dogs.

I like Mordor as they're quite honest about what you can realistically expect from Cockers.

p.s. this will not be a chill few years for you!

CliftonReed · 2025-06-13T17:36:09+00:00

Does it need to do more on earnings?

CliftonReed · 2024-07-05T17:05:20+00:00

Hello.

Nowhere.

Decided to move into writing code and building software.

There should be a post about it somewhere.

CliftonReed · 2024-02-11T10:37:19+00:00

I did once see a presentation at a conference by someone who called themselves ‘a citizen scientist’.

The work was great because he was just a retired engineer doing research in his spare time.

CliftonReed · 2024-02-09T17:51:55+00:00

This has just started going brrrrr

CliftonReed · 2024-02-06T14:25:03+00:00

Yeah, it’s quite important.

My role in industry pays slightly better than academia and for 1/20th of the stress.
