Progress in trading is not a straight line... Most traders hit a long flat stretch where nothing seems to improve. That plateau is where most quit. It is also where the skill quietly settles in.

GN 🌙 The safest trade of your career is the one you sized so small you slept through it.

A winning streak can be more dangerous than a losing streak... After a loss, traders get careful. After five wins, they get bigger, faster and less picky. The account usually gives it back in one trade.

Moving averages work best in trends and worst in ranges... In a trend, price respects them. In a range, price cuts through them both ways and every cross is a fake signal. First decide which market you are in.

GM ☕ You can survive being wrong. You cannot survive being wrong and big.

GN ✨ Corrections feel personal. They are just the market taking back what it lent to optimism.

Fibonacci levels are not magic numbers... They work best where they line up with an old high, an old low, or a round number. One reason to watch a level is a guess. Three reasons is a plan.

The trader in Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, based on Jesse Livermore, said his thinking never made him the big money... His sitting did. Over 100 years later, the hardest part of a winning trade is still doing nothing while it works.

Buy the breakout, or wait for the retest? The breakout gets you into every big move, plus every fake one. The retest gets you a better price, but some moves never come back. Which one do you trade?

GM ☕ Bull markets make everyone feel skilled. The bill for that feeling arrives later.
