No ticker in particular here to talk about. Just here to document how I feel about where I am at right now with myself and my trading career. Have been trading since October 2019 but just started putting my trades on here recently so I can have a clear picture of what my statistics are as a trader. I feel as of the end of July, I have been in a groove that feels really good. Haven't had any big losses, have been doing a decent job of letting my winners run, AND being picky with what tickers I even place a trade on. Everything is due to the approach that I take to the market now. As of lately, I haven't been taking it so serious. Not in a sense of not showing up everyday and doing my works. I treat my trading career like a business. What i mean is I've forced myself to not be so attached to my plan, or a ticker, or a certain scenario that I WANT to see happen. By doing so, it makes it easier for me to not take any one trade so serious. I plan on doing this for the next 10-20 years, so no one trade can make me, but one trade can break me. So by not taking it serious in that sense, I've been able to cut my losses a lot better and quicker as of lately. I am going to keep on improving and keep doing what is working. No one trade matters so much for you to hold on to. You have to be quick with your decisions and be convicted with every buy and sell order that you take. I have been reading " Reminiscences Of a Stock Operator" and it really has been helping me with my mentality and the way I think when I am in a trade. I highly recommend that book for anybody who is looking to take their trading to the next level. Understanding both sides of the market makes the bigger picture way more obvious. These market makers want to take your money and still manipulate the markets greatly everyday. The stock market wouldn't exist without black mailing and manipulation. So knowing that, you gotta take what the market gives you and don't fall for their deceitful tricks to get that money back from you. The main thing everyone should focus on is cutting their losses quickly. The big gains will come especially if you know what to look for and know what you're good at trading; the main thing is protecting those gains. Everything falls into place when you cut your losses quickly!
