*2022 Recap: Where to start…This year I went from being a “strictly OTC” trader in 2020 and 2021, to one that rarely, if ever, trades them. I went from not giving two shits about market sentiment and economic data, to one that now will base trades and ideas solely off of them. I made the change of strategy end of April and it definitely showed p&l wise. I’d like to think what led me to the drastic size up period was all due to a mistake I made in early April, when I bought 1 million shares instead of 100k shares of a stock. In the moment I was shitting my pants as I had to try and mange to get out of this position as it was not breaking out like I had imagined. Needless to say I held it together and managed to size out of the trade on pops and get out relatively unscathed. This major fat finger mistake had just led me to my biggest trading revelation thus far. I can handle/manage/endure massive size if I choose to. I now focused on taking much smaller moves with much larger size. I had been following/tracking some EV plays that I had a good read on comparative to the overall market. That next month it was game on with putting this strategy to the test. I’d say it worked out well hitting my personal bests the following month. Fast forward to end of year, I hit some snags in the road with a total shit market environment decline, but this new found idea on trading has given me the confidence to play with the big dogs, or the bigger, small dogs haha. I’m excited to see what this scalping mentality can do in a bullish market and one where the OTCs are flying. I still will be patiently waiting for a pop in OTCs and see what we can do there. 2023 here we come! “The consistency you seek is in you mind, not in the markets.”
