getting bumbled in the market shift entering trading vacation... -2k on the week pretty much worst week of the year and biting into this months profits... right now offering risks are paying out as longs. having a hard time adjusting to this.... after such a great month of buying failed breakdowns. +21k on the month i should be happy and i am but in all honestly slipped off the deepend here towards the end of the week. this is not the trader i want to be. walking away while im up coming back without the need to trade and will have better evaluation of whats worth playing and what isnt.

its quite amazing how safe trading is when you size into a stock thinking about the possible loss and not the possible gain. 4 losses in a row not intune with the market at all and still green on the week. starting to remind me of january action might consider taking a break to protect

Update on small account challenge of $5k since February 2nd just crossed +$3k today rebuilding that foundation very nicely so far. Trading less trading smaller adapting to what the market is rewarding. Missing tons of plays keeping losses small so far so good. Might allow myself to size back up a little bit at the end of this week if I hang onto this Rhythm 🤘🏻. Hope everyone is having a great February im curious what’s the biggest lessons some of you guys have learned so far this month post in the comments. Let’s hear the good the bad and the ugly. Are you up or down? And how well are you adapting to the current conditions ?

pain + reflection = progress..... february is going to be revolved around trading less trading smaller re-engineering better strategy to adapt to this newer market. +1200 on the week. not the end of the world but definitely a step back from what ive been doing in previous weeks and months stepping my risk down to $150 per trade from last years $300-$400 risk trades when i get convincing stats will be stepping back up with size. this is pyramid trading, this tactic is used to protect my account longer term and previous months and years of success. this tactic prevents profit bleeding and keeps you more level headed to adapt in current conditions. challenging myself to grow a $5000 account in this market this is going to force me to be more meticulous more selective and be more aggresive with tracking and data. February will not be about growing my account like previous months have been february will be about developing a more fine tuned selective angle with quality over quantity. i wish everyone a fantastic february, when in doubt getting back to strategy and process and prioritizing these over profits is key.

been a struggle this year for me back to updating trades will try to stay ontop of it while im out of my groove, if i get back in my groove might not be updating nearly as much. also im on downsize mode... going from 300-400 dollar risk trades to about 200 dollar risk trades to protect my account during this time of struggle. have been giving back tons of 1 for 2 1 for 3 risk reward trades so will be making some adjustments in my trading to take these base hits a little more often until i statistically start severely underestimating plays again. 2024 is eat or be eaten. time to adjust
