Stop Whining About Losing Money In The Stock Market — It’s Your Fault
How To Set Yourself Apart And Become A 0.1% Top Trader
“Wall Street laughing at retail losing all of their money” – generated by GrokHere’s what I CANNOT stop seeing on Reddit.
- Wake up when the market opens. Buy whatever meme stocks is up 8% on the day
- Gain an additional 2% on the investment. Decide to hold
- Lose 12% over the course of the next hour. Sell for a loss and repeat the next day
Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be this way.
The reality is that most retail investors have this process… and only Wall Street is winning.
But when you change your mindset, I wouldn’t just say making money becomes easier.
It becomes trivial.
How the Smart Investor Outperforms
Go on any social media platform and find any successful trader.
Here’s what they are not doing:
- They are not figuring out what stocks to buy on the morning of
- They are not people that have no idea of when to buy, when to double down, when to cut their losses, and when to take profits
- They don’t browse WallStreetBets for the next meme stock
Successful traders have trading strategies. A strategy is just a set of rules for when to buy or sell stock.
Highly successful traders are learning that artificial intelligence is useful for developing trading ideas and automating trading strategies. And now ordinary retail investors can do this too.
Sounds too good to be true?
Let me prove it.
Using AI For Financial Analysis
Thanks to large language models, we can now use AI to find real patterns in the stock market based on data.
For example, here’s a quick test: which of these industries do you think has performed the best since 2023? Rank them from best to worst before reading on.
- Artificial intelligence
- Electric vehicles
- Cryptocurrency
- Cruise stocks
Write your answers down. Don’t cheat!
Here’s the answer.
The average return of stocks by industry since Jan 1st, 2023The order might shock you (as it shocked me). The correct ranking for returns is
- Cryptocurrency stocks at 211%
- Cruise stocks at 110%
- Artificial intelligence stocks at 77%
- Electric vehicle stocks at 5%
Contrary to what you might have believed, artificial intelligence stocks were NOT the best performing industry. With this, you can learn actual patterns in the stock market that can be used to inform your decisions. For example, you might follow it up with.
What are the best cruise stocks as of 2023? Include their latest prices, their revenue, net income, and free cash flow. Also include their prices as of their 2023 full year earnings date and their percent change since then
The best cruise stocks with their metricsAnd you have an answer in seconds.
I’ll dare say this — there is not another platform that exists out there that allows you to find insights like this level of speed and accuracy.
Savvy investors are not making their decisions based on hype and vibes. They’re making it based on the data.
Are you?
Translating insights into algorithmic trading strategies
Building on the idea of data-driven investing, here’s how AI can supercharge those insights.
This is the part most people don’t do because they have never thought of it. But if you pull this off right, you can become the top 0.1% of investors and make money in your sleep.
Literally.
Using AI, you can create sophisticated fully autonomous trading rules.
Using AI to create trading rulesBy creating trading rules, you set them up initially, and the rules are executed autonomously on your behalf. It’s by far the easiest way to create a trading strategy.
The benefits of doing this are:
- Emotion-Free Trading: By automating your trades with pre-set rules, you eliminate the human tendency to make impulsive decisions based on fear or greed. This helps prevent panic-selling or chasing hype.
- Consistency and Discipline: Successful trading requires consistency. Algorithmic rules execute the same strategy day after day, ensuring discipline without the distractions of market noise or social media frenzy.
- Time Savings: Instead of sifting through countless news articles, Reddit threads, or WallStreetBets posts each morning, your AI-driven strategy can handle the heavy lifting. You simply set it up, monitor performance, and let it run. The only work you’re doing is testing new strategies, and swapping them out when it makes sense.
- Scalability: Once your trading strategy is automated and proven, you can scale it up and expand into multiple asset classes or markets with minimal extra effort.
After enough practice, dedication, and effort, you’ll create an investing strategy like the Neckbeard Index 2.0, which has been shown to significantly outperform the market since its wider market release.

Concluding Thoughts
Stop relying on hype and guesswork. The traders who consistently make money aren’t those jumping on meme stocks each morning; they’re the ones who build — and follow — solid, data-driven rules.
We’ve seen how AI-driven data analysis, combined with autonomous trading rules, can transform gambling-like trades into a disciplined, high-performing strategy.
With AI tools and automated trading, you no longer have to be a tech guru or Wall Street insider to lock in real gains.
And you don’t have to do it alone. Platforms like NexusTrade let you tap into AI-driven insights, create automated strategies, and trade with the precision and discipline of a top 0.1% investor. If you’re tired of seeing your portfolio drained by impulse buys and hype-chasing, take control by setting up a rules-based, AI-powered approach.
In other words, don’t just complain about losses — turn them into lessons. Use data, automation, and the right platform to become a more strategic, disciplined investor.
Your future self will thank you.
