The best weekly review prompt I've found: "If I repeated this week 50 times, where would I end up?" If the answer excites you, keep going. If it scares you, don't wait for another losing month to change. Ask Zella AI and tell us what she says 👀

Imagine having 1,000+ trades and being able to ask literally anything about them. Zella AI knows your data better than you do. ✨
I've came a long way psychologically to not have a directional bias in the markets, when I first learned how to trade (back in 2015 with @timothysykes) I was solely a short biased day trader, I was trading part time in my dorm room while being a college student I then stopped trading for a bit as I graduated and got a full-time role that required frequent traveling, and it wasn't till COVID in 2020 where my traveling for work was halted and so I started trading part time again (with @InvestorsLive) also as a short biased day trader Fast forward to today I'm a directionally unbiased full-time swing / position trader (with the ability to day trade, which helps in current markets like we are in thanks to @InvestorsLive and @timothysykes) and have been learning from some of the best swing traders in the game @PradeepBonde @RealSimpleAriel @Qullamaggie @TSDR_Trading @Braczyy @1ChartMaster @DanZanger just to name a few From @TradeZella:

No backtesting in 2026 is kinda crazy when you can literally type your strategy and get results in minutes 🤯🤯🤯
How to reach the bottom 80% of traders: 1. No journal 2. No backtesting 3. No rules written down 4. No session review 5. No days off

TradeZella just dropped an automated backtesting tool, and it's actually pretty cool. I've never really used automated backtesting before, and Im not going into much detail about my strategy, but I ran it through the tool and it still came back profitable. That's a good sign. That said, automated backtesting is only a small part of the process. Knowing a strategy works is only half the battle. You still need to manually backtest it in replay, then live test it with small size to understand how it behaves in different market conditions. That's where you learn the nuances no automated report can teach you. Personally, I only increase size after I've put in the real-time backtesting and live testing. The automated tool is a nice shortcut to validate an idea, but it doesn't replace screen time or experience. Cool addition by TradeZella. $SPY $ES $QQQ $NQ

I genuinely hope every single person experiences the feeling of taking care of their loved ones and giving back to your parents. The sense of accomplishment from that itself is close to none. So if you're still stuck in a rut, keep going with the end goal of taking care of the people around you. Worth every single hardship there is.

Opinions won’t get you paid in the markets, real raw execution will. It’s easy to have opinions, it’s harder to back it up with money and executing it at a high level.

We’re planning on rolling out a verified check mark on TradeZella for all “synced” accounts only. Users will be able to share “verified sync” accounts. TradeZella has grown massively in the past few years and with that comes responsibility. We are not and don’t intend to be a “verifying” platform, however with all the screenshots shared with our dashboard and some bad actors, I think this is needed 🫡

I constantly see traders get crushed in markets like today’s because they can’t adapt in real time. When a news event becomes the dominant driver of the markets (such as this war) you must be able to adopt to the sentiment shifts. A setup that looks like a good on the upside , can & may change very fast with headlines that shift sentiment. We’re seeing it happen, war news flips direction, price follows and people get trapped in their initial “bias”. In these environments your edge isn’t the setup, It’s how fast you recognize that the narrative changed and the trade no longer makes sense or even requires you to reevaluate.

Next version will be even crazier. 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳
When @UmarAshraf launched @TradeZella, I was skeptical since several journaling tools were already available. After using it for a year now, I can say it is the best platform out there for traders.

We spent the last few months rebuilding the future of TradeZella from ground up and I’m extremely excited to share it with everyone soon. While everyone has been building vibe coded ai slop journals, we’re reinventing the game once again. More than just a “journal”… 🫡

The trading space year after year, continues to be disappointing. After covid, we had so many bad actors enter in where the focus shifted more into being an influencer and shilling nonsense to people that don’t know any better, instead of being a “good” trader. Most of what you see online, it’s just marketing. Focus on you, don’t trust anyone in the space. No one will come and save you besides yourself.

One of the most important articles you will read. As exciting AI is, there’s tons of real challenges ahead.
JUNE 2028. The S&P is down 38% from its highs. Unemployment just printed 10.2%. Private credit is unraveling. Prime mortgages are cracking. AI didn’t disappoint. It exceeded every expectation. What happened?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ citriniresearch.com/p/2028gi…

We’re in the middle of one of the biggest technological shifts ever. AI is rewriting the rules for every single thing. Most people still don’t get how fast it’s moving and the gap between those who embrace it and those who don’t is going to be massive. Heads down for next few months 🫡
