I started trading Futures in August 2025, I switched to Small Caps in May 2026. Here to learn and connect to other traders. Trading from my parents’ basement.
Today +21.95€, thanks only to $TWG, the most fun ticker that I’ve ever shorted. Could have gotten even more out of it in the AH, but didn’t punch it when I should had.
Forgot to post my P/L yesterday (+12.30€).
Today it got hairy as I started down -8.76€ (bad trades on $PPBT), but recovered everything and finished +3.62€ only thanks to $FAMI.
Forget to post yesterday. +21.51 €, but I lost it in the AH because of some technical issues on IBKR Desktop and I only got lucky in the end, I revenge traded and I was down 50 $ on $SSM short.
+22,29$ today.
Still recovering from the 200 lost on Monday, I made 105,53$ since that fateful day, and I think I got much better as a trader bc I LEARNED something from that bad day, not like many traders who don’t fix their mistakes and repeat them over and over again!
@TheOneLanceB Yes, I switched from Futures to SC and the difference is night and day. Don’t get me wrong, SC is still difficult, but I’m getting consistent. Many traders don’t have a chance of succeeding because they trade the wrong stuff for years without realizing it
Thank God $CRE saved my ass.
Revenge traded on it bc the first trade was a loser (-12$), so I sized up big and luckily I caught a +15% move with a 400 USD dollar amount position. Luck or getting better? We shall see.
Made a couple of shorts on IBKR and made 2.75 € there too.
