Has Anyone Here Successfully Sold a Trading Algorithm? I’ve built a **trading algo** that has performed extremely well in backtests, with solid risk management metrics. Before I consider selling or licensing it, I want to: 1. **Validate it through a quant firm** to ensure institutional-grade robustness. 2. **Find high-level legal protection** (since patents don’t apply to strategies). 3. **Connect with potential buyers (hedge funds, prop firms, private investors).** If anyone here has **successfully sold or licensed a trading strategy**, I’d love to hear your experience. How did you structure the deal? What protections did you use? 3 0 replies
Is GrandMaster OB1 the Retail Investor’s Secret Weapon? I came across this video discussing GrandMaster OB1, a stock market trader that a lot of retail investors seem to trust. The video covers his track record, how accurate his predictions have been, and whether his latest take on Palantir stock makes sense—especially with the possibility of Trump returning. It also includes an end-of-week price prediction for Palantir. Some people swear by OB1’s insights, while others think he’s just another overhyped trader. Curious to hear your thoughts. Have you followed any of his calls? Worth paying attention to, or... 4 0 replies

Ask me anything (Repost since got so many of y’all interested) I’ve been trading options for years, and like most traders, I went through a long phase of trial and error—blowing up accounts, second-guessing every move, and constantly tweaking strategies that never seemed to work long-term. Recently, something finally clicked. I refined my process, stopped overtrading, and focused on **high-probability setups** with proper risk management. Since making those adjustments, I’ve seen way more consistency, and it honestly feels like a weight off my shoulders. I know how frustrating the learning curve can... 3 0 replies
Thoughts on Grandmaster Obi’s approach to trading options? Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into trading financial options, and I came across this trader, Grandmaster Obi, who’s been pulling some insane returns—**122.8% in just three months**.

If anyone here trades options actively, I’d love to hear your take on his strategy. Here’s a breakdown of his performance if you’re curious: [medium.com/@louisechristianwenceslao/grandmaster-obi-delivers-122-8-gain-in-3-months-883ee8d9a16e](https://medium.com/@louisechristianwenceslao/grandmaster-obi-delivers-122-8-gain-in-3-months-883ee8d9a16e) 5 0 replies

"Easy" way to get more money into your Roth IRA than usual (more than the backdoors) So you've already put the $7000/year backdoor Roth IRA, you're already treating trading as a business and maxing out your SEP-IRA and putting $60K+ and converting that into Roth, what do you do next? Here's how: Find an option (call or put both OK) that you believe have a high (>60%) chance of going up, buy the option in Roth, sell the same option outside the Roth, close out the positions as soon as it moves in the direction you want, and you've effectively "wired" money into your Roth... 3 3 replies
Taking gains vs. taxes - what to do? I am not a trader per se but have retired and been actively managing my portfolio to very good success. I say this because I don't usually buy something with the goal of trading it via a defined exit. That said, I have some small caps that have had crazy runs and built up quite a profit, all in less than a year. Do I not worry about the taxes and just pay short term cap gains? Or do I try and ride it out for a year for... 2 4 replies
