I stopped gambling and started trading systematically. My results are insane.
One Small Change in Mindset Made Me Tens of Thousands
I almost stopped trading forever before I became profitable.
This isn’t 1–2% over months. My portfolio exploded — up 87% in just one year.
My Robinhood account’s percent gain in the past year. Up $26,298 or 87% in the past yearMy investing account is doing extraordinary as well, up over 26% in the past year.
My Public account’s percent gain in the past year. Up $17,404 or 26% in the past yearMy profitability didn’t come from a secret indicator or from some TikTok guru’s $5,000 course. It came from a realization.
“Instead of trading based on my gut-feel, intuition, and the prevailing “wisdom” why don’t I figure what actually works?”
My portfolio hasn’t been the same.
Ignoring the Noise
I slowly learned that one reason that trading was so hard was that you had to ignore the noise in the space.
Most people have no idea what they’re doing. They parrot what other people are saying because it makes sense logically, even if there’s no evidence that it’s actually true.
I remember when “the crowd” was screeching that “Tesla’s P/E ratio is too high!” “It’s a bubble waiting to burst”.
And not knowing any better, I stood on the sidelines as Tesla stock soared to over $1,000/share.
Tesla’s Meteoric Stock PriceI learned my lesson. Ignore everything I see on social media. Dig for the truth myself.
Finding Real Patterns
Since doing this, my gains transformed dramatically. Using AI, I was able to identify some real patterns in the market. While these patterns may not persist over time, they helped me gain an understanding of what types of things really move the market.
Some of these patterns include:
The backtest results for the portfolio in the second bullet point, ”You will NEVER look at a stock’s PE ratio the same after reading this.” It significantly underperforms the S&P500.Notice that these patterns aren’t based on gut feel – they’re based on what actually happened in the past.
By noticing these patterns, we can construct our own strategies. In fact, I’ve created half a dozen, with many of them significantly outperforming the market.
Testing my Intuition
Knowing what types of stocks tend to do well, I’ve created numerous trading strategies to take advantage of these. You can access them for free on NexusTrade.
Some of the most profitable portfolios include:
Let me be clear that these are not backtesting results. These are portfolios that I’ve deployed since last year, distinct from the screenshots that I showed in the beginning.
They are running right now, being paper-traded, so that the future of the world sees how my portfolios actually perform with maximum transparency.
And I’m not the only one that can contribute. You can deploy your strategies and get paid for it too.
My goal is to create a marketplace of free and paid trading strategies. This marketplace will empower investors to make data-driven decisions rather than emotional ones, helping them achieve the kind of results that come from systematic analysis rather than gut feelings.
Concluding Thoughts
Shifting from gambling to systematic trading transformed my portfolio.
I ignored noise. I focused on data-backed patterns, not gut feel. And I tested what works and what doesn’t.
The result is a collection of highly profitable paper-trading and real-trading portfolios. My 87% gains didn’t come from luck or timing the market perfectly. They came from a simple realization: the market rewards those who trade based on evidence, not emotion. When you stop chasing hot tips and start following proven patterns, your portfolio transforms from a casino into a wealth-building machine.
If you’re still trading based on gut feelings or social media hype, consider this your wake-up call. The patterns are there, waiting to be discovered. The only question is whether you’ll keep gambling or start trading with a real edge.

The question is… will you?
