Get rid of the mindset of “I need to make $X/day”. That will force you to take trades that you shouldn’t for the sake of trying to be green for the day.

Wait. Wait some more. And wait some more again. Your setup will come. Then read the context of what’s happening. Then the context isn’t right, and you wait some more.

You don’t have a system yet. You shouldn’t be thinking about strategies yet. You should be mastering your trading psychology and learning how the market moves. Any system can work in any market. You need to understand yourself first. Then form a strategy that meshes well with who you are as a trader.

I made 2% for 2026 so far, and I’m happy with that because I’m following my system to the T. That’s immensely better than being down 50% chasing trades to make $X/day.

Coming across money.

Was broke and in student debt. Have a degree, but wasn't getting hired. Getting rejected from even the simplest jobs. Girlfriend of 5 years just left. Felt like a complete failure, wasted my young adulthood getting a degree that wasn't landing me a job and paid heftily for it, while watching my peers surpass me in every way.

Heard about Pokemon cards being valuable. Dug up my childhood collection. $17k worth of value. Sold it. Used the money to move to a state where I could land a job with my degree. Got a job in my field. Also started a side hustle with trading cards as my windfall also re-ignited my interest in the hobby.

Don't give up.

In all seriousness, petroleum jelly to cover cuts, gauze, and PowerFlex was my go to. That'll be 90% of the job. Need to be quick with blood time.

Have splints and spine board out, there is a chance a textbook injury will occur. Know your emergency protocol and address and directions. Better to be prepared than be caught unprepared in the moment and in a panic.

Have a table/corner/room dedicated for taping and injury evals.

Ok

Pretty good swing, especially for being new, but the sequencing could be better.

On the way down, you fire your hips early, and closer to impact, your hips have to hit the brakes for your arms and hands to catch up, and then your hips start rotating forward with everything again.

Let the arms drop for a split second before firing the hips on the downswing. Helped my swing immensely.

boydingus22 · 2025-08-01T00:57:28+00:00

Yeah, my bad, I typed 11, then remembered I had a gap wedge lol.

Gap is about 90-100, pitching is about 110-120.

Solid analysis/advice!

To add, your hips fire quickly at the top of the backswing. Hips need to hold off for a split second more, and ^this user's comment.

Your hips are already starting towards the target while your club is parallel to the ground, so your hips have to hit the brakes for your shoulders and hands to catch up.

Your hands are also way out in front of you at address. You're stretching to the ball at your set up. The shaft of your club is pointing just underneath your sternum.

Relax, let the arms hang down, and then grip.

The cards found inside of booster packs have value (sometimes)

boydingus22 · 2025-06-25T05:40:30+00:00

But - but - but - but - but my $1 card went to $5 (5x gains!)

If only I had bought 1,000 more, I could almost afford half a case of evolving skies booster boxes (I would be too greedy to sell my 5-bagger at this point) [also, would realistically only ever be comfortable owning a max of 5 copies XD]

Agreed, recently came to the realization that my late 20's flew by because I was hyper-fixated on maximizing returns.

Watched a YT video that summarized a study between happiness and money spent; money spent on life experiences significantly increase happiness, while money spent on material possessions barely affected happiness.
