Don’t re-invent the wheel

Last week’s idea of “Harvest time” was spot on.

Friday completed a seven day drop pattern, within two points of 300 points and ended with an explosive End of Day Trade as profits were taken by smart weekly traders. (Left click on charts to enlarge them.)

Find Your Niche – The Ritchie Story

Most traders swear by one gospel: “Ride the trend, stay long, endure the drawdowns.”
It’s the mantra in every forum, every YouTube thumbnail, every $5,000 course.

But my friend Ritchie? He just laughs, hits “send,” and cashes another six-figure day.

Ritchie is 33. He’s been trading for six or seven years—depending on whether you count the paper-trading month that turned into a live account. Last three years? Over $1 million each.

Not from buying dips in SPY and praying. He flips options. Hundreds of them. Average hold time? 1.7 seconds.

Yes, you read that right.
One-point-seven.

That’s faster than most of us can click “confirm. ”While the trend cult is busy drawing 200-day moving averages and reciting “the trend is your friend,” Ritchie is in the microstructure trenches—reading Level II, sniffing out spoofing, and scalping gamma like a machine. His edge isn’t patience. It’s arbitrage: speed, precision, and volume.

He doesn’t care if the market is up, down, or sideways.
He doesn’t wait for breakouts. He doesn’t “let winners run.”
He takes the edge, exits, repeats—hundreds of times a day.

And before you say, “That’s not real trading,” check the brokerage statements.
Seven figures. Three years running.

No employees. From his home or office, or anywhere in the world as he travels.. Just him, his monitors, and a custom hotkey rig.

Here’s the part that should wake you up: He tried swing trading. Hated the overnight risk. Tried position trading. Bored in two days.
Then he asked: “What actually fits me?”

Ritchie paid to join a small group of traders, led by an experienced trader who developed a system to capitalize on temporary imbalances.

Turns out, he thrives in chaos. Loves rapid decision loops. Gets energy from split-second reads. So he perfected his niche: ultra-short-term options scalping.

Just relentless screen time, pattern recognition, and execution discipline.

We are not alone. Leverage off of smart traders who have found a way to consistently beat the markets, day after day.

The lesson isn’t “copy Ritchie.”
The lesson is: Stop forcing yourself into someone else’s mold.

Love deep analysis and quarterly earnings? → Be a fundamental swing beast.
Obsessed with order flow and tape? → Scalp like Ritchie.
Patient as a monk? → Compound with trends.

There is no single true path.

There’s only your path—the one that matches your wiring, your risk tolerance, your lifestyle. Ritchie proves it.

He doesn’t suffer drawdowns because he doesn’t have positions long enough to draw down. He doesn’t need the market to trend because he profits on volatility itself.

And when people say, “You can’t make real money that fast,” he just shrugs. His P&L doesn’t argue.

Bottom line:

Stop debating styles. Start experimenting. Track your trades. Measure your emotional response. Double down on what clicks.

Because when you find your niche, excuses disappear.

Time? He trades the first two hours—then surfs.

Capital? Started with $1500., and used the Prop Shop’s funds, computer, monitors, and system.

Doubt? Crushed by results. The market doesn’t care what “most traders” believe.

It rewards those who show up, adapt, and own their edge.

So ask yourself:

What kind of trader am I — when no one’s watching?

That’s your niche.

Go build it.
