A trader from behind, hood up, at a desk of charts at night, with a stack of books beside him: risk management, trading psychology, journal, still not profitable.

Still not profitable?
Same.

A community for traders
who know the rules.
But still break them.

Same mistakes. Different traders.

No signals. No Lambos. No profitability promises.

A day in the life

Same day. Different story.

You have a plan. Then the market opens.

Sound familiar?

Focused

"Today I stick to the plan."

A setup

"This could break out of the range."

Impulse

"F*ck it. I'm in."

Reality

"Same mistake. Different day."

The plan

  • Wait for the breakout.
  • Risk 0.5%.
  • Watch the speed of the tape.

What actually happened

  • Entered on emotion.
  • Risked 2%.
  • No hard stop. An imaginary one.
  • Didn't cut it early.
You knew better.
SnP CLUB

Welcome to SnP.

Every trader has a version of this day. Most of them have it alone, delete the screenshot, and promise themselves tomorrow will be different.

Here it gets posted, picked apart, and turned into a rule with a number on it. Not because it's funny, although it is, but because the same five mistakes cost most of us most of our money.

At least you're not alone.
A dark anatomical brain with a glowing red fracture running down it.
The actual problem

Knowing ≠ doing.

Most struggling traders keep looking for more information. Another strategy. Another indicator. Another course. Another Discord. SnP starts from a less flattering assumption: you already know enough. You just don't do it. Consistently. Under pressure. At 9:31 when the candle is moving.

Same charts. Same patterns.
Same emotions. Different losses.

What's inside

We already paid the market for the education.

Might as well share it. SnP is where traders turn expensive mistakes into something useful. Review the trade. Find the stupid part. Write it down. Try not to do it for the 47th time.

01
Trade autopsies

What actually went wrong?

Real trades, real reasoning, and the uncomfortable gap between what we knew going in and what we actually did.

02
Accountability

Stop lying to yourself.

Post your rules. Post your plan. Post what happened. A community that notices when your "A+ setup" mysteriously becomes whatever moved today.

03
What not to do

The library of mistakes.

A growing collection of lessons from books, courses and years of finding surprisingly creative ways to ignore basic risk management.

Recurring formats

What a normal day in the Discord looks like.

Rules, confessions and autopsies. Members post them. The founder posts them. Nobody's exempt.

SnP Rule #017

Don't move your stop because you're emotionally attached to your entry.

The entry was a decision. The stop was the same decision. If one changes, the other was never real.

SnP Confession #014

I took a trade I knew wasn't an A+ setup because I was bored.

Lost 0.8R. Not the end of the world. The problem is I've done it 11 times this month, and 11 × 0.8R is my entire edge.

Trade Autopsy
  • What I sawClean pullback to the level. Volume drying up.
  • The planLimit at the level. Stop under the low. 2R target.
  • What I didMarket-bought early. Widened the stop on the wick.
  • What went wrongImpatience, then attachment. Same trade as #017.
  • LessonThe setup was fine. I was the problem.
Included with membership

The position sizer.

A tool I built for myself, because "I'll just eyeball it" is how 1% risk quietly turns into 4%.

Account size, risk per trade, entry, stop. It tells you the share count before you click buy, and what you're actually risking if the stop gets hit. Members get access to it.

  • 01Size the position before the entry, not after.
  • 02See the real dollar risk instead of assuming it.
  • 03Catch the trades that quietly break your own limit.
Why apply?

Because open doors get weird. Fast.

Communities that let anyone walk in attract everybody.

  • 01The guy who opened TradingView for the first time this morning.
  • 02The guy asking which indicator guarantees profits.
  • 03The guy risking his rent on 0DTEs.

So there is no open door. Every application is read by a person — me — and that is enough friction on its own to attract people who show up: share what they are seeing, post their trades, and trade alongside everyone else.

Serious enough to improve.
Self-aware enough to know we're still learning.

The name

We could have just bought the index.

No strategy. No screen time. No stop losses, no journal, no 6am pre-market routine. The S&P 500 asks for none of it and goes up anyway. We went the other way. On purpose. For years.

S&P 500
Did nothing. Went up.
SnP 500
Did everything. Still not profitable.
The name is the disclaimer.
Founding members

Become one of the original SnP 500.

The S&P 500 tracks 500 companies. The SnP 500 is the first 500 people who admitted they couldn't beat it. They lock in the price, get a permanent role, and a numbered spot that never gets reissued.

  • 01
    Hand-picked.

    Every member is read and approved one at a time. No open door, no bots, nobody who wandered in from a signals group.

  • 02
    Permanent SnP 500 role

    A founding-member badge in Discord that nobody who joins later can get.

  • 03
    Numbered spot, #001 to #500

    Assigned in join order. If someone leaves, their number is retired, not handed to the next person.

  • 04
    First in line for whatever comes next

    Founders get any future perks first. We're not promising specifics until they exist.

No countdown timer. No fake "3 spots left." When 500 is 500, it's 500.

It's a marathon. Not a highlight reel.

House rules

No guru cosplay.

Experienced traders are welcome to teach. Nobody has to pretend they've got the market figured out.

Discipline beats ego.
×No signals
×No guaranteed returns
×No fake P&L flexing
×No pretending mistakes don't happen
×No "trust me bro" strategies
×No humiliation. Criticism, yes.

Bad trades get criticized. Honestly. That's the point. But the goal is improvement, not a public execution. Post the trade, take the notes, do better next time.

Share performance if you want. Nobody's impressed by a screenshot of one green day. Context, reasoning and the losing trades are worth more here than the win.

Who runs this

A walking encyclopedia of trading lessons. Also a case study in ignoring them.

Years of trading. The books. The courses. Risk management, psychology, setups, technical analysis. All of it studied properly. Most of it, at some point, ignored in real time with money on the line.

This is a day trading community. Intraday setups, intraday mistakes, and the specific kind of damage you can only do to yourself between the open and the close.

SnP is that experience turned into something useful: the theory, plus an honest, ongoing record of the gap between knowing it and doing it. Every trade posted in public. Including the weeks that don't go well. 📉

FAQ

Questions people ask before joining.

Why is it called SnP?

Because it sounds like S&P. That's the joke. 😅

If all of us had just put the money into an S&P 500 index fund and never looked at it again, we'd be up. Comfortably. Instead we read the books, bought the courses, learned risk management, and spent years actively trading our way to underperforming a fund that requires zero skill.

So: SnP. Still Not Profitable. The name is the disclaimer.

Is this a signal group?

No. Nobody here will tell you what to buy, when to buy it, or where to put your stop. If that's what you're looking for, this will disappoint you quickly.

SnP is about the trades you already take: reviewing them, finding the mistake, and building the discipline to not repeat it. Members share ideas and setups as part of that, but as discussion, not instruction.

Will this make me profitable?

Read the name. 📉

We don't promise profitability, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What SnP does offer is the part most communities skip: honest trade reviews, accountability for the rules you already have, and a lot of documented examples of what not to do.

Whether that turns into consistency is on you. Nothing here is financial advice.

Is the founder profitable?

Still not. It's in the name. 🐻

That's also the point. This isn't a guru who claims to have figured it out selling you the answer. It's an experienced trader documenting the gap between knowing the rules and following them, in public, week by week. If that changes, we have a branding problem, and you'll hear about it first.

What if I become profitable?

Fuck. This is awkward.

Technically you no longer qualify. SnP Club is for traders who are Still Not Profitable, and by becoming consistently profitable you have violated the terms of the community.

You may graduate with full honors, collect your SnP Graduate 🎓 role, and leave us behind.

Or you can stay, keep the role, and help the rest of us work out what the hell you did differently.

Your price doesn't change either way. We're unprofitable, not assholes.

Who is this for?

Traders who actually trade. People who've read the books, done the courses, know what an A+ setup is and what 1% risk means, and still catch themselves doing the opposite.

It's also for experienced traders who want a place to review honestly without the ego contest.

Who is this not for?

Complete beginners looking for a strategy to copy. Anyone shopping for a guru. Anyone who wants to post one green screenshot and be applauded. And anyone risking money they can't afford to lose. Please don't.

What is the SnP 500?

The S&P 500 holds 500 companies. The SnP 500 holds the first 500 people who couldn't beat it.

Founders are vetted by hand, one application at a time. They get a permanent SnP 500 role in Discord and a numbered spot from #001 to #500. Once 500 is reached the founding role closes. No countdown timers, no fake urgency. Just a real number.

How do the numbers work?

Join order, by the timestamp on your subscription. First payment through is #001, and so on to #500.

If a founder leaves, their number is retired. Nobody inherits #029. There were 500 founding spots, 500 were issued, and that's the end of it. The number tells you when someone joined, so reissuing it would make it meaningless.

Leave and come back later and you're a normal member at the current price. Harsh, but it's the only version that stays honest.

What's the position sizer?

A tool I built for my own trading. You give it your account size, your risk per trade, your entry and your stop, and it gives you the share count and the real dollar risk before you place the order.

It exists because eyeballing position size is how a 1% rule quietly becomes 4%. Members get access.

What happens after I pay?

Checkout runs through Whop. Once it goes through, you get your Discord invite and you're in. Subscription, billing and access are all handled there. It takes about a minute, which is roughly how long our stops usually last.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Anytime, through Whop, no questions asked. We'll assume you either became consistently profitable and outgrew us, or blew up and need a break. Either way, no hard feelings. Founding-member status doesn't carry over if you leave and come back later, though.

Where does the money go?

Running the community and building the library. Whatever's left goes into my trading account.

From there it gets handed to the Market Wizards on the other side of my trades. 🪄 Somebody has to be taking the other side, and so far it hasn't been me.

Receipts

Every trade, in public.

No private track record. No screenshots that only appear on green days. The trades go on X as they happen, the good ones and the ones I'd rather not talk about.

If the name ever stops being accurate, you'll be able to check the timeline and see exactly when it happened. 👀
