Most folks skip the most important question of whether the market is even worth deploying $$$ in.
Being a bull or bear doesn’t even matter if the market is just going to chop you up anyway.
So the first step is understanding if the market environment is even worth trading, then you can pick a direction.
1) in or out
…THEN
2) long or short
Directional bias comes AFTER your decision on participation.
You only need 2-3 big trades a month/quarter to make your whole year, the rest are scratches (which is fine).
So participate selectively, but when environment, direction, & catalysts line up…don’t be afraid to push.
Q4 is setting up like something I want to be very involved in btw.
Trading is simple. So why do we hold contracts until they're worthless, but take profit at 10%? Losing money activates the same brain circuitry as fear and pain. So the brain does what it does with pain: avoids it, delays it, hopes it goes away on its own. How do we stop? 🧵👇

@AdamMancini4 Hi Adam. For the 7620 FBD. I know that NAP entry is 7625 but where do you set the stop loss usually? Is there a certain criteria you follow for all entries. Thank you.
