I hope everyone is enjoying the break a bit. If you’re still at the desk trying to trade this year then you’re doing it all wrong.
The big money was made late this Summer and the last few months and the rest of this is on auto-pilot while the degenerate button pressers search for their daily dopamine fix.
Updates:
The Active Trader is going to morph into The LongVol Report for 2025. If you are a subscriber this means the cost drops.
You can email or dm to change this.
I tried to accommodate for it last year with The Active Trader but it always leads to the same results; a lack of results because people make money then give it back chasing the next idea 10 minutes later….standard degenerate behavior.
Sorry, but not sorry. 😎
Patience pays and the idea of day trading daily is just a farce that I’ve been against for over a decade but sometimes you have to give the crowd what they want.
You know, like +$150K years from The Report from some readers…
There are plenty of ideas for some momentum trading in The Momentum Monitor but this idea of chasing trades each day for the dopamine rush is not what I am interested in; there are plenty of other rooms from “professional traders” to go and lose your money with doing that.
You can choose to make money with the data/research in the report next year or continue to chase the dopamine rush that many before have attempted.
Again, if it worked, then I’d be doing it after nearly 2 decades but it doesn’t to the effect to where it makes economic sense like you see above with people putting up +$100K years without doing it each day.

Puerto Rico Retreat 2025
The 2025 retreat details are done and ready to go. This will be the first Mentee retreat that I’ve done in 7 years and I am looking forward to it.
It will be 5 days, 6 nights in Dorado, Puerto Rico.
Part Mini-Vacation, Part-Networking and Part learning the FOPT Concepts.
This is as real deal as it gets.
Many of you know I run a long/short equity hedge fund for accredited clients and have done so for 4 years.
We recently registered the firm this summer with FINRA. You can learn more here.
If you were to become an analyst at our firm (or really any l/s equity firm) or a Portfolio Manager then what we’re covering in the FOPT is pretty much what you would apply - just at a level that makes sense running your own portfolio.
You can read the full retreat info and apply here.
*Non LongVol/FOPT Members will need to complete the FOPT training prior to the event.
This should be a great event to learn, vacation and network with others in The LongVol community.
Until then, try to not push buttons and chill.
