Prefer earning you points to collecting them.
I know exactly what you mean by this. The dynamic has changed for me too.

I think I’ve said this before, but I really regret stopping trading back in January/February (when I was on about 37K), before the golden loo roll badge was a thing. I resisted getting drawn back in for ages, but then caved just before the August bank holiday.
Even with active day trading as much as I can, it’s been a long slog - almost 3 months to get to 33K - and feels like a very long way to go to get to the badge.
In terms of earning points for others, my training has been a bit slack over the last few months, hoping to pick it up again soon

Even with more points and the changes making it quicker I'm kinda bored with it.
I'm definitely a 'horse' more than an 'owner'

I'm getting that way too, Sushi. I got 10k about a year ago and stopped trading mostly. Even when the loo roll badge appeared, I left it well alone for ages, with just the occasional dabble for a few days here and there. I was at about 16k when I started focussing on it again. I am really hoping to be there by Christmas so I can go to bed when I want to and not have it as my first waking thought.

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Possible pacing strategy:
5 mins in the morning: wake up, buy from the top sorted by value with a fast finger.
1 min before bed: hit "'Sell all you runners'.
Only take more time than that when you can be bothered.
It's a marathon not a sprint 😉

I suspended trading at 20,000 for a long time and then decided to go for the big gold one what seems like ages and ages ago.
It has finally reached the point where I feel as if the end is in sight. When I reached about 90,000, I started to have the occasional day (usually Saturday or Sunday) where I could earn 1,000 points in a day, which felt like real progress.
When I get there, I'm going to have to sell off the whole portfolio, as the only other Trader badge I need is the one for losing money. I'm not quite sure how to get it; do you just need to cash in at below 1,000?

I think so (it was a long time ago that I got it) I guess leaving the game and rejoining would be your best option. Working all the way back down would seem a recipe for insanity
