Why I stopped listening to the noise and started focusing on just two things: Relative Strength and a quarterly Earnings PEG list. In a world of 24/7 financial news, the chart is the only thing that doesn't lie. Here’s how I keep it simple. 👇

Trading individual stocks in the current environment has been an absolute grind for a while now. Sure, there are random things working here and there if you get lucky, but this is not the best swing trading environment, and fighting this kind of relentless chop is the fastest way to burn out for most of us. I tried to unplug, took a family vacation to clear my head, protect my mental capital, and see if the environment would improve... and of course, it just got worse 😂 Making progress right now feels like pushing a boulder uphill. Per my system rules, I’m currently in the penalty box, which is why there have been no trade plans from me. Capital preservation over everything!! While I'm staying mostly sidelined per my rules, I might test the waters with some small size here and there just to see if anything is starting to work. Right now, I am sitting on my hands until the market proves it's ready

Most people over complicate things as a growth trader. Just watch the leaders. They tell you everything, and have been warning us for a week

Greatness demands isolation before elevation. You must be willing to be misunderstood. To be different To Walk alone at times. Personality is not formed by one decision It is formed in repetition In discipline In showing up day after day -Napoleon Hill

Money can buy freedom, security, comfort, experiences, and control over your time. All of those things can significantly improve your quality of life and contribute to happiness. But fulfillment is different. It comes from having a sense of purpose, pursuing meaningful goals, building relationships, and finding satisfaction in what you do and who you become. Money can create opportunities for fulfillment, but it can’t guarantee it. Happiness and fulfillment aren’t the same thing. Happiness is the emotional experience of enjoying your life. It’s about pleasure, contentment, and feeling good about your circumstances. Fulfillment is the deeper satisfaction that comes from living a life aligned with your values, pursuing what matters to you, and feeling that your efforts have meaning. Happiness is about enjoying the life you have. Fulfillment is about finding meaning in the life you live. You can experience one without the other. And I think that’s precisely why some extraordinarily wealthy people, despite having everything they could possibly want, remain deeply dissatisfied.

The most powerful thing a man can do is disappear, rebuild himself in silence, level up beyond recognition, and never explain what broke him.

i just refuse to look into anything on the news. Didnt care about Lindsay Clancey, the Cornell 7, nor whatever tf this plauge is. It doesnt affect my life at all, it deserves no mental energy.

I had to stop looking at chatrooms and copy-pasting other people's trades to finally reach consistent profitability. Real growth came when I took complete ownership of my trade identification and logged every single entry myself. If you are relying on someone else to call out your setups, you will never build a real edge in this market. You have to own your entire process from start to finish.

Amazon dot com’s stock price has now fallen 95% from its high on December 19, 1999. In just 21 months, this once-promising tech darling has fallen in the dustbin with all the other tech bubble busts.

Use your eyes, not your thoughts. Quiet the noise. The chart will show you when it’s time. If it doesn’t, you wait.

If you buy 20EMA shakeouts then your wife and children will respect you and your mother in law will brag about you at events. I don't make the rules

Your portfolio is real-time feedback. It's a grade on your performance, and stage one and two traders mostly ignore it. Instead of listening, they impose their own opinion,"these will turn around," and sometimes 2022 happens and they're down 80-90%. Listen to the portfolio, curb the losses. It's one of the most important things at that stage.

Giving back a fat chunk of last week’s gains as are many I’ve spoken with this morning. Cant imagine a much more difficult tape with the pockets of strength and healthy looks of the indices along with relative strength meaning little on the day to day and creating wide fake out moves in names that appear to be leaders. Thought we had the ‘all clear’ sign to start swinging full size with last week’s action, which is proving to be incorrect this morning. Trading is a grind, it’s important to keep a positive perspective no matter what the tape is doing. Whats positive out there you say? WHATS POSITIVE???? ARE U KIDDING?! TALKS WITH IRAN GOING WELL!! 😭😭

One of the best pieces of advice I can give traders is stop micromanaging every position, stop overanalyzing every tick, stop looking at your balance every 10 seconds, and stop being a nervous wreck. I'm not preaching, I'm simply trying to help people because I used to do all of that shit and it hurt my results in the past. I finally learned patience, conviction, and mental toughness, and it make me more consistently profitable. Work on these skills or else you'll never make consistent progress.

Risk rule number one protect the capital so you can live to trade another day

Got stopped out on a bunch of stocks this morning. Thought I gave them enough room to wiggle, but the market was on a straight-up stop hunt today. At least I have cash available now to buy new merchandise

I was looking at $NEM too but did not add it to my weekly list because one stock can not move a whole sector
