Hey buddy, Selling too soon is never to be frowned upon. Don't ever be ashamed of selling too soon. Trading scared is the right way to do it. That is what you did on CMAX. You made a good trade. Congrats bro.

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.

Decided not to trade last Friday because of the string of losses and have decided to take all of next week off and come back strong November 1st. Trading is a lot more than just having a good strategy. The last couple weeks have been user error’s with me specifically. Although I don’t use a lot of Tim’s strategies- the mentality he has is important to listen to. PROTECT your gains. Don’t trade setups that are not As or at least Bs (since I scalp more). Do NOT get greedy. I got used to the 10k days and wanted more and more and more to the point it got uncomfortable and I was risking more / taking on setups I shouldn’t. I got careless this past week with a SPAC play and a sister stock- didn’t look at all of the news and was quick to get in. DO NOT get complacent. Always remember where you came from- when 1k a day was awesome and 3k a day etc and remember the things trading allows you to do. You can make money (a lot of money!) from your home and in just a few hours a day. It’s truly an amazing thing. I am coming back in November with a green light, yellow light, red light mindset. Everyday starts with a green light- go make your minimum profit goals safely, then yellow light goes on where there’s no need to trade the rest of the day unless the setup is an A. Then red light is after 5:00 pm no trading ever and red light when I’m busy with other things and not 100% engaged with trading. I think this is going to help me grow consistently again and safely moving forward!

I really enjoyed your live trade video. I am 4 months into the challenge and have a small account, but I was drawn to the short patterns as the most reliable for some reason. I gained a lot of insight from your video. Thanks for sharing and for the transparency.
