Missed a 5.5R trade (A+ setup) yesterday because I was dicking around on my phone after lunch Pain. I’ll learn from this lesson

Why is everyone talking about the Vest instant accounts like they're sick? "You have more leverage" Even NQ on a small live account and I've never had a problem What crazy position sizes are you running that require more leverage? Not to mention you can lose max 3% a day on Vest AND you only get 95% of your profits paid back to you AND the slippage/fills are worse Makes no sense

If I was a Jewish guy I’d definitely sell a trading course / mentorship All the comments are always “admin knowledge”, “source: source” Genuinely think a lot of people would trust a Jewish guy with knowing how to trade markets before any other race (even if they dislike Jews) Easiest $100k/month trading info offer ever

Average Sci trades defender $946,000,000 in a single trade with the free version of TradingView Makes sense 👍

First day “trading” on Vest and it’s been a no trade day for me But had a 4.5R limit order trade on futures that I never got tagged into On Vest that was a 2R trade 🤣 Price action on NQ on Vest is a lot different to actual NQ, doesn’t seem to be as good for scalping but will make a decision after a few more trades

I mean this is pretty cool but you're literally an affiliate for Vest who is likely on a retainer The Vest badge is right there in your profile

Just bought a Vest challenge, am I low IQ?

Took the weekend off trading / work for the first time in a while since I had my friend visiting me in Cyprus Went out drinking, drove across the country to go cliff jumping and shit Feeling way more locked in this week because of it Sometimes you just need a break to reset your mind and go even harder again

Dudes will see their strategy hit 8 losses in a row during backtesting and think nothing of it Then they have 3 losses in a row in the real markets and start freaking out and thinking their strategy is terrible

Starting at the charts for 5 hours and not taking a trade because nothing fits your plan should count as a green day imo

It takes a very specific type of person to be a successful trader You need to be delusional enough to think you can make it in a space where less than 1% of people succeed But logical enough to have realistic goals, good risk management and to be brutally honest with yourself Such a weird mix Which is why I think so few people succeed with trading

My trading was terrible in summer June was -5.07R July was +1.24R August was -6.15R So far in September I’m at +3R and feeling way better in my trading In summer it was like the price action wasn’t good for my strategy - I was going through a normal bad streak with my strategy Which wouldn’t have been too bad if I just kept executing But I allowed those losses to mess up my head a bit and started putting on bad trades to recover those losses, which obviously made it worse I increased my trading workload from 1-3 hours a day to 4-5 hours a day alongside my freelance business and felt like I’ve progressed more in the last month than the previous 6 combined Time to continue this work and end the year strong

Haven’t been tweeting, been too locked in on trading

Seeing how hard it is for my friends to get jobs is crazy Even master degrees doing 100s of applications can’t get graduate roles in their fields I don’t envy them, hard out here

Felt this I’ve been good at so many things, but not sure if I’ve been “elite” at anything I was a good footballer - but not good enough to go pro I was smart in school - but never a standout student Same with instruments, video games, the gym, learning languages - literally everything lol Always been “above average” at anything I put my mind to but never stuck to any one thing long enough to become one of the best I promised myself a while ago that I would make trading that thing for me

Just got wicked out at BE before a trade went straight to my TP for +3.5R Not even mad, after a terrible June and taking a break for most of July I’m back positive and reading price so much better than I had been Things are looking up 📈

Haven’t been trading much in the last few weeks Had a bad month in June (-5R) Then took a break this month because I was busy with work then took a trip back to Ireland Back in Cyprus now though which means back to the grind -0.3R so far for July but let’s end it on a positive 🔥

Watched 5 minutes of TJR island That’s time I’m never gonna get back
