Discover the most powerful trading lessons from Qullamaggie (Kristjan Kullamägi), the trader who turned $5,000 into $106 million. Full notes from Market Wizards + actionable setups.
One big lesson I can take from his experience isn’t only turning $5,000 into millions, but how quickly success can undermine discipline. Even an experienced trader can lose control when confidence turns into overconfidence. A proven setup, proper position sizing, and consistent risk management matter far more than chasing the next big trade.
“A sustained 116% annual return over a decade would be an extraordinary trading achievement, far beyond what even the world's most successful long-term investors have typically delivered.”
Best SMB futures traders make 20-30% per year, with options sometimes at 50%.
I remember you mentioned this yesterday lordy you couldn't have been more on time if you wanted to hope you profited from it. Is this the kind of action that marks a trend reversal???)
Kudos to Kristjan, one of the few!

Do episodic pivots still work ? Have you checked.
Yes, they still work.. it's just that they're much rarer. this year there have been just three. (Including the recent MRNA)
No he didn't
