2023 trading reflection with data. I didn’t make seven figures…again. However, a strong year of growth and I am real happy. Some general observations, what went well, what didn’t work, and areas to target going forth. These concepts may help your trading this year 👇

If something holds very well and isn't doing what is expected, that itself is an indicator. Extreme strength, consolidates with light pullbacks = precursor to blow off move. Saw in $SZL last week and $OPY/BNPL today. Alas, bottled it by scaling out vs the hold and size to close

$Z1P you can short stocks 😀 Im happy with 90% of this but I was too loose with my final re short on the test of lows. I decide to run a small core and give bigger picture Top/Climax a chance. Mistake and cut as we lifted 900s. Sizing again could be better but fast market

Complacency can be a killer in Trading. Making money -> overconfident -> cut corners -> stray outside lane -> take an outsized hit. I had this experience coming into today. All you can do is write, learn, make new safeguards and move on. It never stops $LYC

An expression I love and try to live by: “always pay it forward”. Work hard, learn from others, network and this how you will truly grow and be successful. Or you could sit there behind a phone and be cynical 🤷‍♂️

$Z1P I added too early into 780 and took some early pain back through 800. Stuck to the strategy and kept adding into that short despite decent drawdown. Worked out well in the end. Could do better with exits. Perhaps overtrading trying to buy capitulation. Write ups to come

For the last few months, I have been more consistently writing and sharing my content about trading. What resonates with readers? The initial data seems very clear: -Losses and mistakes -Struggles -Problems -How to overcome said problems The big trades and flexes look nice on

Notes from my main trades today: $NUF and $FMG best drives of day. Key was seeing 470 seller who wouldnt lift and 650 seller respectively. Worst was $CLV which was total fomo

$CHN intraday trade and report card attached. A nice headline for me to play once that morning range built. Could have been bigger and was a bit gun shy in weaker market

I said I would spend time reflecting on last fin year and build solid goals and targets for the new year. I thought I would share some of this in a "reflections post". I have not uploaded data etc but this is a general outline. Would be interested to see other peoples plans:

$APT very whippy, some overtrading, decent drawdown BUT felt it was in the sweet spot and good r/r on that Daily. Was a playbook trade and just tough for my system

$NEA Got to show the good and the bad.....well I feel this trade encompasses both today! Traded it right for my system, loved the catalyst and price action, didn't see a clear exit signal, then halt and still long. Drawdown incoming argh

Gold all the talking point today. $RMS was actually my main focus. Sized it as per my rules and it didnt play out. Happy with the process. $NCM very clean and traded this well. $PRU joined the Gold fomo and caught for a loss

$NVX I fell for the trap today. Bought match and unfortunately stop loss failed on filters. Had to sweep out a lot lower than 220. Had another stab at the long but it just couldn't bounce so cut. Didnt hunt for borrow in arvo. Poor trading really but small size and not stubborn

$SEK breaking news trade. Was nice and quick to get early prints. Not much there unfort. Managed the dump ok but never really capitulated as some of these plays do. Big lines at 20.50s set the low and I scalped a small long post this. Report card to follow
