5. EXPECTATIONS

Trying to get rich quick? You’ll go broke even quicker.

Start small:
$500 account × 20% = $100/day
That’s a $25K raise—while keeping your 9–5.

Win small.

Compound over time.

Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Comment "MARKET" and I will send you a PDF of my setups..

In trading:
Losses = Lessons, not failures.

Master this mindset and you’ll stay in the game long enough to win.

4. ACCEPT THAT YOU WILL LOSE

Most beginners believe great traders never take losses.

The reality: the best traders lose often. The difference?

They accept it, learn from it, and move on quickly.

- Protect your capital first
- No trade is better than a forced trade

That shift in mindset saved my account.
Patience is where the real money grows.

Avoid the mistakes I made.

3. RISK MANAGEMENT

I used to go all-in on every trade thinking it would make me rich faster.

Instead, I blew up account after account.

The hard truth I wish I learned sooner:

- Pick ONE proven strategy and commit to it.

- Study the traders who’ve already mastered it at the highest level.

That’s how you build real consistency.

2. MASTER ONE PROVEN EDGE

Most beginners think they have an edge… but they don’t.

They have 20 indicators cluttering their charts and Jump from strategy to strategy.

They Quit before they ever get good

Here’s the real path:

•Is the market trending in my favor?
•Is this setup in a strong stock?
•Is volume confirming the move?
•Do I know exactly where I’m wrong?
•Is this a smart entry or am I chasing?

Check the boxes. Protect your account. Control emotions.

1. TRADE WITH A CHECKLIST — NOT HOPE

Most traders blow up accounts because they guess.

Pros don’t guess — they follow a process.

Before every trade, ask yourself:

Him: Aren't you done with the photo; just give me the carrot, let me go meet my kids 😂

I think everyone’s quick to call this a dot-com style bubble, but the reality with $QQQ is more layered than what's being showed out there. Though it signals a mix of fear and preparation. What I learned from this article in my own scenerio $QQQ traders are not panicking instead they're Positioning

Went through Redford story on "All the President's Men" all I can say is that it proves, closed doors and unanswered calls don’t mean the story ends. Sometimes that’s where it really begins. Persistence like this hits different. Curious how many people actually live it though.

⚠️ The history of financial markets has NEVER seen this before:
