Quality vs Quantity
Less actually is "MORE"
Quality over Quantity … is a mindset that is crucial in trading.
It's not about making a hundred trades a day; it's about nailing those key setups that can turn the tide.
Smart, strategic setups beat random, impulsive trades any day, hands down.
Now, let’s go fishing!
Fishing with a Net vs. Fishing with a Spear
Fishing with a Net (Impulsive Trades):
Picture this: you’re out there fishing with a net, just tossing it into the water and hoping for the best.
Yeah, you might snag a few fish, but most of the time, you’re just pulling up seaweed and junk.
It's a gamble every throw.
This is like jumping into trades without a game plan.
You’re reacting to whatever’s happening in the market right now, just throwing money at the wall and seeing what sticks.
It’s chaotic, and chances are, it won’t end well.
Fishing with a Spear (Waiting for Setups):
Now, switch gears. Imagine you’re fishing with a spear.
You’re cool, calm, collected, and patient.
You’re waiting by the water’s edge, eyes locked on the prize.
When that big, juicy fish comes into view, you strike with precision.
You’ve got a high chance of bagging that catch because you waited for the perfect moment.
This is like waiting for the right setups.
You’re prepared, you’ve got your strategy dialed in, and you wait for the stars to align.
When they do, you move with confidence and purpose.
Wait. So, what’s the difference?
Let me explain.
Impulsive Trades:
You’re all over the place, jumping into the market on gut feelings or short-term moves.
It’s like chasing after every little fish that swims by.
You’re just reacting, not planning.
Strategic Setups:
You’re laser-focused, entering the market only when your specific criteria are met.
You’re not in a rush; you’re waiting for the right conditions.
It’s like holding out for that perfect fish to come into range before you make your move.
Example:
Impulsive Trade:
A stock nosedives, and you rush in, thinking it’ll bounce back any second.
No analysis, no strategy—just a knee-jerk reaction.
Risk: The stock keeps dropping, and you’re left holding the bag.
Strategic Setup:
You spot a stock nearing a solid support level, volume’s picking up, and you see a bullish candlestick pattern.
This fits your high-probability trade criteria.
Benefit: You’ve got a much better shot at success because this trade is backed by a strategy you’ve tested and trust.
I’ve quickly learned and am continuing to learn that the game of trading is best played by strategic setups over impulsive trades.
Emotional and impulsive trading leads to random outcomes.
Disciplined and strategic trading brings predictability.
Waiting for the right setups based on solid analysis and predefined criteria … stacks the odds in your favor!
It’s all about QUALITY over quantity.
SPEAKING OF QUALITY OVER QUANTITY … and STACKS!
I have recently and successfully launched B.E.T.A. Strategic Lab … and the response has been phenomenal.
It’s QUALITY, no doubt! And STACKS … we will grow!
This is a more experienced trader that was on the struggle bus …
we worked mainly on strategy, confluences and less impulsive trades.
We call him “Double-Down” and soon you guys will hopefully meet him …
and he can share his story!
That said, and in hope that there’s enough interest …
we're taking it to the next level by building out the Live Trading Room and Indicator subscriptions.
Going to build this on, around and through Guard. [More on this in a minute.]
This will likely have 2 or 3 Indicator subscription options, one of which will offer Live Trading Room Access - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12-3pm EST.
HERE’S A QUICK LOOK AT AN INDICATOR I CODED UP AFTER ONE OF OUR SESSIONS THAT I’VE ALREADY RELEASED TO LAB MEMBERS
And this is where the real magic happens - where we blend a disciplined mindset, the Live Trading Room with cutting-edge technology and strategies to build a community of traders, not moonboys.
[Moonboys, Wen Moon, CryptoDaddy69 …
I still love you, and will catch you after-hours. My dirty lil secrets!]
So, upon the outset this Live Trading Room will likely only be available to framily, business associates, Guardians, Guardian holders, Substack subscribers [and maybe a couple others].
One major reason is to make sure we are all rowing in the same direction, speaking the same language [lexicon], what have you.
And the MAIN reason is because … This is a skills group, not a call group.
CALL GROUPS = SHORT-TERM SUCCESS.
SKILLS GROUP = LIFETIME MASTERY.
So, hopefully, access will be kept exclusive.
I’d like to build this with my MKPs [My Kinda People] … so act accordingly! LOL
Which brings me back to QUALITY and Guard.
Building on blockchain and investing in crypto isn't about chasing every shiny new coin.
IT’S NOT??? …
NO - It’s not!
It's about investing time and effort into projects that have real potential –
PROJECTS THAT ARE BUILT TO LAST …
NOT JUST TO PUMP
"Guard" is designed for purpose-driven companies and projects building on Web3.
Guard is all about facilitating growth, supporting creators, and driving forward purpose-driven initiatives.
It's about bridging the gap between the real world and Web3.
Happy to build on Guard and looking forward to the other projects building on Guard.
There’s a cool project I’m watching, Avanti3 - that is also being built on Guard.
Avanti3 is revolutionizing the gamification of fandom … and I am here for it!
Guard's mission aligns perfectly with our philosophy of quality over everything.
A FINAL NOTE ON QUALITY AND THEN YOU GUYS CAN GO … LOL
In the constant hustle of content creation, it's easy to get lost in the numbers game –
pumping out posts just to keep the feed alive.
More content.
More posts.
More likes.
But here at Day’s Pay, we’re playing a different game.
And … it’s not about ‘more’.
And in many cases, LESS … IS ACTUALLY “MORE”!
It's not about how much we post but how much impact each post makes.
We're all about dropping value bombs —
insights that stick
strategies that work and
perspectives that matter
It’s all about making meaningful contributions that stand the test of time.
Just like waiting for the perfect setup in trading, continuing to build that project in the face of adversity and criticism, or crafting a post that truly resonates.
So, we will continue to craft content with purpose, designed to deliver.
B.E.T.A. Strategic Lab is closed for now.
I may open 3 more spots. Haven’t decided.
Until then …
Here’s the waitlist if you’re interested in the Lab, Indicators, Live Trading Room, etc.
If you haven’t subscribed … you better do it now.
I’m almost to the point that this substack will become private/paid.
So, share this with the Family CEO you know and love … every family has one!
You know who I’m talking about.
Now let's make every post count, every trade smart and strategic, and every project a game-changer.
Thanks for being part of this journey.
Happy Trading!
