Great post! Thanks Androo

Awesome post! It is inspiring me to keep learning the market and pursue my dream of being a full time trader! Thank you Mason

Lots of good nuggs of wisdom here. I'm almost 2 months into the challenge now and glad to come across a post like this.

awesome post @mason_fecht! I've been focusing lately on avoiding getting shaken out of my trades and am having much more success!
