Two days this week my personal account profits were over $20K. I've come a long way from when I started trading in 2020 and blew a couple of $20K accounts over the first 12 months.
@flash crash and @Laissez Faire are stacking that paper!! Love to see it! Just crushing the market. Long may it continue. I have no idea what you're buying me for Christmas, but I just know it's gonna be good!
Congrats! Now don't let it get to your head and keep doing more of what works and less of what doesn't. Rooting for you.
Thanks Picaso. I think a big reason why I'm having the success I am having lately is because not only does trading well NOT go to my head, I know all too well how easily trading poorly gets IN my head. I know I'm NOT naturally good at this and that I must remain always mindful that I am never more than a half step away from the cascade of losses that revenge trading ALWAYS brings. If I ever come across here as having some sort of inflated FURU ego about trading, you'll know that means I've probably blown my accounts and I'm just posting to keep some sort of self-deluding illusion alive. I do want to say this here and now. I feel very strongly that hanging out here in this thread this past year with the likes of @Laissez Faire and @theapprentice has had a huge positive impact on my trading. I don't only feel it, I KNOW it. This ES Journal is an oasis of a very few oases in what is otherwise a wasteland of trading social media. Though I do make very liberal use of the IGNORE feature which no doubt helps it maintain oasis status. I appreciate you as well @Picaso and too many others to try to name them all because I know I'll forget someone. This is my favorite place on the internet. I'm very grateful for this journal and the people who come here on the regular. So, raise glass and a toast to 2025 and another great year here at the ES Journal - or there at the new ES Journal. Cheers! PS Yes, I had to look up what the plural of "oasis" was in order to finish that sentence up there ↑
