He turned $10k into $1.1M in just 12 months…

As ICT’s mentor, he's held the Robbin's Cup World Record for over 37 years.

Now that we know ICT can't beat his record…

Here's the story of the trading king 👇 Image
This man’s name is Larry Williams.

Before we get started on his story, here’s a “dirty secret” from the man himself:

(Read to the end to see how he turned $10k into $1.1M)
1) Early Story

In 1962, Larry was studying at the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism.

“I took an economics class and walked out after one day, it made no sense to me.”

Ironically he hated economics, but then he found trading…
2) Old Trading

Trading Commodities used to be extremely difficult…

Larry Williams said nobody had risk management and it was all “Kamikaze Cowboy Trading”.

Then he learned about “smart money”...
3) Trading With Smart Money

Larry explains how smart money will buy as price goes down.

He says not to enter “right away” when big players are buying in…

Wait for the trend to change, THEN look for a buy signal.
4) Larry’s Mentor

Larry learned many lessons from a humble trader who lived a “hermit lifestyle”.

He took Larry under his wing, taught him his theories, and most importantly gave him encouragement.
Then Larry dove into “relative strength” theory…
5) Larry’s Strategy

“Relative Strength” theory involves buying stocks that have shown to be strong over a period of time…

“Whatever stock has been the strongest in the last year, will most likely be the strongest in the next 6 months.”

Here’s why anyone can trade:
6) Street Smarts > Book Smarts

“Trading has nothing to do with being smart.”

Many traders dive too deep and study too much, Larry explains that at some point you become your own enemy...

Here’s what he looks for when bullish:
7) When to Buy

“Strong stocks get stronger.”

Larry says many traders make the mistake of “buying low and selling high”

He’s lost a lot of money trying to pick bottoms, and believes that “strength prevails”.
8) Turning $10k into $1.1M

“That was the worst year of my life.”

Larry actually turned the $10k into $2M, then lost a million…

He risked 30% of his equity on every single trade, and it took tremendous focus, discipline, and a bit of luck.
9) Passive Income

Everyone knows that you can automate trading returns,

But no one has done it correctly…

This is Howard Marks.

He has over $180B AUM and 50+ years of investing.

He said: “Anyone can become rich with stocks.”

Here’s 17 life-changing lessons that turned him into one of the greatest investors alive: Image
1. Buying great assets won’t make you rich.

People think success comes from picking amazing companies.

Wrong.

You make money by buying things for less than they’re worth.

Price > quality.
2. The most important thing… is not just one thing.

Marks once listed 19 “most important” things in a memo.

Why?

Because good investing isn’t formulaic.

It’s a mental diversification.

This is Benjamin Graham.

The smartest investor in history.

By age 25, he was making $9.2M per year in today’s money.

He was also Warren Buffets mentor...

Here’s 11 of his philosophies that will instantly make you a better investor (use them to get rich): Image
Image
1. Invest with a Margin of Safety

Buy stocks only when they’re priced significantly below their intrinsic value.

This is your buffer against error, emotion, and the unknown.
2. Stick to Your Circle of Competence

If you don’t understand it, don’t invest in it.

Clarity beats complexity.

The most profitable hedge fund in history isn’t Goldman Sachs or JPMorgan.

It’s Renaissance Technologies.

They’ve made $100B in profits and averaged 66% returns for decades.

For years they’ve tried to keep their strategies secret.

After 100+ hours of research, here’s what I uncovered about the genius strategy:🧵Image

1) The Genius Behind It

This is Jim Simons.

A former mathematician and codebreaker, he had no finance background.

Yet, he built a hedge fund that outperformed Warren Buffett, Ray Dalio, and every major investor in history.
2) The Problem With Traditional Investing

Most traders rely on:
1. Fundamentals
2. Technical indicators
3. News & sentiment

Simons realized something most traders ignore: Markets move in patterns that humans can’t see - but math can.

So, he built a system to exploit them…

I’ve traded with volume for 7 years

Lost $15k the first 2 years because I was taught how to read volume WRONG

Learning volume the right way was the #1 reason I become a full-time trader Image
Here’s how to use volume as a CHEAT CODE in your trading:🧵You were probably taught the following

1. Price rallies up on strong volume

2. You wait for a pull back on low volume

3. Then buy for a push higher

This is WRONG 👇🏻 Image
You don't need to even believe me

Take a look at your charts

What do you notice? Image

I grew my account 1% a day for a month:

- 38 total trades
- 100% win rate (zero losses)
- Made $4,215 on a $20k account (20% growth)

Here's the ONE A+ setup I used to do it: 🧵
(with proof) Image
Before I get started, 2 things:

1. MORE proof with broker statements is at the end of this thread (attaching start/finish day here)
2. This is NOT realistic --> you can't just copy me and get 100% win rate

Bookmark the post above so you can come back to it and let's dive in 👇🏻 Image
Image
I had a list of specific rules for this account which is why it was so successful

I'll get into that towards the end but for now, let's talk setup

My A+ setup for this strategy consisted of my main concept + 2 confluences

The main concept for this strategy was Supply/Demand Image
