Long story short.
Last year, I managed to grow a $2k account to 12k - but then I gave most of it back through revenge trading and repeatedly fighting the trend. Went to zero by August. I was down big, mentally.
- I reached out to a few people here for guidance, and their support made a real difference.
Big thanks to @froggytrade and @50ptMAE 🤝
- In January this year, I decided to reset and start fresh with a $2k account. Been trading mostly options. Small size, a few trades a week, risking 1-3% per position. Works very well !
biggest lessons for me :
- Psychology
- Position sizing
A lot of my improvement came from studying @lord_fed substack, highly recommend:
“ Mastering your Mind”
“Drawdawn Psychology”
“Size Matters”
- I also regularly follow @Wild_Randomness and @blondesnmoney for trade ideas. Very valuable resources, thank you
Q1 has been great, 10x so far
My goal now: stay consistent and finish the year green.
9 months to go 📈
