How I’m feeling right now: lots of screen time, studying, watching the market, mentally trading, and talking through setups. I got into a couple of trades a few days ago that wiped out all my recent gains—I’ll log them tomorrow. Once again, it happened because I didn’t fully follow my rules, and it took my profits back to zero. But this is exactly why I need to stay focused and build a routine that makes sure my mind and heart are in the right place before I start my day off trading. I will figure this out, just like all the other millionaire students who struggled before they broke through. Chin up to everyone going through what I’m going through right now—you’re not alone. As much as this sucks, I know this is the best way for me to learn. Have a blessed day. Jesus loves you! 🙏💙

Back in the seat after a four-day reset. First move of the morning? A mistake. I tried to predict instead of react. I jumped in pre-market, assuming the stock would spike. First time I’ve tried that, and it’s one I won’t forget. Sure, my position was smaller, but that doesn’t justify breaking the rules. I’m still in the learning phase, and every time I veer off the path, I get smacked with another reminder of why the rules exist. I’ll let this one ride until closer to the close and reassess then. But let’s call it what it is. These mistakes happen when I force trades that don’t fit the strategy Tim teaches. It’s not the market. It’s me trying to manufacture outcomes instead of waiting for the setup. Once again, emotions crept in and I paid the price. But every hit teaches, and I’m not done learning.

My emotions are my biggest enemy, but I refuse to let them run my decisions. I’m a visual person, so I surround myself with reminders that keep me disciplined and stop me from slipping into gambler mode. When I lock in and start scanning for the right trades, I talk myself through every step. The moment I choose my setup and begin the process, I’m reminding myself why I’m here, what my rules are, and what my future looks like when I stay disciplined. Every trade is a chance to prove to myself that I’m in control—not my emotions. Have Blessed day!
