Hey everyone! it’s been a long while since I was active here. Life got busy, but I’m back and planning to share more of the real trading journey — the wins, the losses, the steady days, and everything in between. Keeping it humble and real as always.
End of day recap — wrapped up a few /ES scalps before the 3pm close.
Stuck to the plan, kept risk tight, and took what the market offered. Nothing heroic, just steady execution on the 7400-7440 zone today.
Sharing the filled orders screenshot for anyone who likes seeing real order flow. Still lots to sharpen, but grateful for the process.
How did your day go in the markets?

Between 1998-2004 I blew up 2 or 3 trading accounts and decided to give up on trading and investing a few times.
After a few months off each time, I kept coming back and reading more and more, trying to figure it out. More trial and error with real money, trying to find what worked for me.
I discovered Jesse Livermore sometime in 2006 or 2007, and when I read this one page, it changed the course of my trading and investing journey.
Most of my personal mistakes were summed up on this one page.
My biggest takeaway was that I didn't have to constantly be doing something every single day and trading in and out of my positions.
My second biggest takeaway was that the trader is always the weakest link in any trading system.
There is no one size fits all - it takes time and experimentation with real money to find a plan that works for you.
Excerpts from Livermore:
"It was never my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting."
"Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon".
"The market does not beat them. They beat themselves...".
"Disregarding the big swing and trying to jump in and out was fatal to me".
