    Hi everyone, maybe some of you have been on this site long enough that you remember me, most of you probably havent.

    I have traded since 2007 my only source of income, took some time off of ET went to school worked on my CFA and tried to get a job in wealth management.

    Its been a journey, lol, hope some of the old timers will post if for no other reason than to shit on me.

    So the reason I am starting this journal is because I just did something I havent done in years, I carved off like 5% of my account in a day over trading the NQ.

    I kept on thinking the NQ was going to roll over today so i kept piling into it and then setting a stop, i repeatedly did this to myself because im an idiot. anyways if you want to see what it looks like to take a sizeable loss even as an exerienced trader here it is.

    Pretty sure I was a quarter of the NQ volume today just filling orders on both sides lol.

    Anyways wish everyone the best in the New Year, plan is to make 7 Figures this year trading, wish you all the best!

    Please feel free to post your own trades here

    I wouldn't have traded it because the price movement has been rather indecisive / meagre

    Happy 2026 New Year

    You got a pretty good average, most traders would kill for that, what do you plan to do with your crypto and Indian stocks? Index in India is getting smoked worse than the Nasdaq right now, do you have a plan or are you just spamming my thread?

    India in worse shape than the Nasdaq fwiw

    I don't intend to spam your thread. You invited others to post their trades and so I posted mine. I can't trade crypto from India. I am choosing what ever is easy to trade from where I currently reside. Approach to trading does not differ between instruments or geographies. If you thought, I am spamming your thread, I am sorry about that.
