Hello traders,
Years back, I had one of those mornings where everything just clicked.
First trade on ES, clean 12 points. Second trade on NQ, perfect scalp, in and out.
Within the first hour, I was already up more than my daily goal.
And that’s when the trouble started.
Instead of shutting it down, I told myself, “You’re on fire today. Keep going.” That voice in my head wasn’t discipline. It was ego.
The next two trades? Sloppy. Over-leveraged. I gave back half the profits before lunch.
By the close, the day that could have been one of my best turned into just average.
Not because the market tricked me, but because I tricked myself.
So next time you’re green early in the day, ask yourself: “Am I trading for edge, or am I trading because I feel unstoppable?”
Trust me, the difference can make or break your P&L.
Inside my mentorship exclusive program, I break down trades and I explain the technicals behind them so that you fully understand what the markets are doing.
We trade live together, you see exactly what I’m looking at, and more importantly, you learn how to think like a professional.
No gimmicks. Just process, execution, and continuous improvement.
If you’re ready to take the step and trade live with me, registration is open now for a limited number of people.
One of the sneakiest ways traders lose money isn’t during high-volatility events, it’s during those quiet, grinding sessions.
You know the ones: ES barely moving, NQ stuck in a 20-point range, and your screen feels like watching paint dry.
That’s when boredom whispers: “Just take something.”
But boring trades are the most expensive ones I’ve ever taken.
Why? Because they’re not backed by an edge, they’re fueled by impatience.
And once you start paying the boredom tax, your account bleeds without you even noticing.
If this changes how you see your struggles, you’re ready for the next step, building a system that removes doubt and makes true discipline automatic.
Here’s the truth: sitting on your hands is a skill. Waiting for the one clean setup instead of taking five mediocre ones can save your week.
Don’t let boredom or overconfidence charge you rent for staying in the game.
See you in the next one.
