SZ is one of the best I know at compounding into winners / sizing up as a trade develops...
A common mistake traders make is putting their largest size on at the initial entry when uncertainty is arguably at its highest...and therefore take an unnecessarily large loss when wrong.
Once you’re in a winning position and the market has begun validating your idea, you have far more room to add dynamically while managing overall risk - keeping it relatively static.
In other words... earn the right to size up and press.
You never really have the market by the balls, but occasionally it lets you think you do.
Give it a watch.

🚨 The next financial regime shift is underway — reshaping markets for 8 years.
Not price guessing — it’s about cosmic forces driving liquidity, debt, inflation & trust.
👇 Here’s the full 2026–2033 roadmap. Watch closely $SPY $GLD $SLV $BTC
Momentum based trading:
Very good structural setups forming across a number of alts, multi-month ranges and bases now well established.
If conditions remain favorable into Q4, the focus will be on momentum trades.
When these markets move, they trend fast and that’s where a well-designed set of filters and scanners becomes invaluable for catching the moves early.
Filter examples:
1. Structural & Technical Filters
Scan for alts that have spent 3+ months consolidating in tight ranges with compressed volatility, now breaking above multi-week/month highs on expanding ATR, while holding above rising 20/50 EMAs stacked bullishly.
2. Momentum & Volume Filters
Scan for alts showing relative strength vs BTC/ETH, breaking out on 2–3x their 20-day average volume, good daily liquidity (e.g. $10M+), rising spot/perp turnover that signals real demand, and expanding ATR confirming momentum.
3. Sector rotations
Fairly obvious
Many complain about the lack of activity on alts but theres always opportunity, you need a good filter / scanner that cuts through the noise and flags the best potential momentum based setups on your screen, for which you should have a strategy and know how to structure the trade.
35s came in nicely as support
I’m leaning towards 38s and to take out the highs - stops moved up
The ‘cut and reverse’ one of the best drills to sharpen up at flipping context:

- Mastering your trading mindset -
They tell you trading is simple.
That all you have to do is wait for the setup, take the trade, and accept the outcome: win, lose, or breakeven.
Just follow the plan, stick to the rules, manage risk, and over time, the edge plays out, that’s it.
That’s the entire game.
So why does it feel so damn hard?
Why do you hesitate when you know you should enter?
Why do you chase after price, even when you promised yourself you wouldn’t?
Why do you overtrade, revenge trade, or close out too early, only to watch the trade go exactly where you thought it would?
It’s because the market isn’t just a collection of price movements, It’s a mirror.
And every time you sit down at your desk, it reflects back everything you don’t want to see: your impatience, your insecurities, your fear of being wrong, your need to be in control.
You think you’re here to trade a system, a strategy, a set of probabilities, but in reality, you’re here to face yourself.
Because you don’t chase trades because of “momentum” or “confirmation.”
You chase because deep down, you’re afraid of missing out, terrified that the move will leave without you, convinced that if you don’t jump in now, you’ll never get another opportunity.
You hesitate, not because you’re being “cautious,” but because you don’t fully trust yourself.
You second-guess your plan because some part of you would rather avoid taking a loss than execute correctly.
You overtrade, not because there are unlimited opportunities, but because sitting still, waiting, doing nothing well..that’s unbearable.
You’d rather force trades than sit with the feeling of not being in control.
And so you keep making the same mistakes, over and over again.
You stare at the chart, watching, waiting, convincing yourself that a setup isn’t really there when you’re afraid to take it but then, when you need action, you convince yourself it almost is.
You tell yourself if you just wait one more candle, just stretch your rules a little more, it’ll be perfect.
And in that moment, you’re not trading a system.
You’re trading your emotions, dressed up as logic.
The market doesn’t care what you feel, but it knows.
And it will exploit every emotional weakness you have until you either fix it or the game forces you out.
And the hardest part? The market is always open.
The chart is always there, just waiting.
It doesn’t force you to do anything, it just exists, open to your interpretation.
And that’s where the struggle begins.
Because it’s not just about learning a strategy, you already know what to do.
The problem is doing it.
So how do you fix it?
You stop measuring progress by wins and losses.
You stop thinking that results are the only sign of improvement.
Because outcomes don’t build traders, reps do.
You detach from the need to win and attach yourself to the process.
Because trading success doesn’t come from obsessing over your P&L, It comes from asking better questions:
- Not “Did I make money today?” but “Did I follow my system?”
- Not “Did this trade win?” but “Did I stay disciplined?”
- Not “How much did I make?” but “Did I manage my risk?”
That’s what actually matters, that’s what moves you forward.
And once you understand that, once you truly internalize it, trading stops feeling like an emotional war.
You stop forcing trades because you don’t need the market to give you action.
You stop hesitating because you trust your ability to execute.
You stop overmanaging because you no longer fear what happens after you place the trade.
Because now, you’re playing a different game.
Now, you’re placing the trade, setting your risk, and walking away..not because you don’t care, but because you know that caring too much is exactly what’s been holding you back.
Now, you’re marking your key levels, journaling your setups, setting your alerts, placing your orders, and then stepping away..not because you’re avoiding the market, but because you finally understand that real discipline isn’t watching every tick.
It’s trusting yourself enough not to.
At first, it won’t feel natural: you’ll feel the urge to check, to interfere, to react.
But then, one day, something shifts.
One day, you’ll realize you no longer flinch at a loss.
You’ll take your trade, accept the outcome, and move on, because you know the next one is just another rep.
One day, you’ll notice that you don’t hesitate anymore.
You see the setup, you execute, and there’s no second-guessing, no internal battle, just action.
One day, you’ll realize you don’t need to chase, overtrade, or force anything, because you finally understand that the market isn’t something to be conquered, it’s something to be respected.
And that’s when trading finally becomes simple.
Not because the market changed, not because you found the “perfect” strategy.
But because you changed.
Because you stopped fighting yourself.
Saturn □ Jupiter ⚠️ June 2025
Jupiter: economy, corporation, banking, collaboration, peace, prosperity, wealth.
Saturn: trouble, enmity, devaluation, deterioration, unemployment, hardship, scarcity.
Saturn has the upper hand in this particular square , being in the 10th house relative to Jupiter. He thereby dominates their interaction. It suggests economic turmoil in correlation with this aspect which perfects on June 14, 2025.
"Tariffs are scheduled to be implemented on April 2, 2025, serving as leverage to negotiate currency adjustments with major trading partners. These tariffs aim to pressure countries to participate in the proposed "Mar-a-Lago Accord," a strategic initiative to weaken the dollar and address trade imbalances. The full realization of the Mar-a-Lago Accord, which involves comprehensive currency realignment and international cooperation, is anticipated to extend into 2026. This timeline aligns with the potential appointment of a new Federal Reserve chair, who may be more amenable to coordinating currency policies with the Treasury Department."
In April Venus reappears next to Saturn in Pisces and suggests "healing" or agreements, a softening of fear, trouble and enmity. We can therefore see the current selloffs in the markets as a risk-off sentiment, a fearsome reaction to the consequences of the tariffs. But Venus offers alleviation and points to a significant bounce in the aftermath of the "bad dreams". The real trouble arrives in June.

You see the thing is...
You can study price structures etc
Much of my trading over the last 9 years has been geared around recognising structures I'm familar trading
But to elevate it further, study and observe the rhythm and orderflow of price at those key inflection points...
Combine the two and you should hopefully increase the odds of nailing the inflection points
Good luck
Stop entering trades that you HOPE you can win. Play trades you’re CONFIDENT you will win.
This mindset shift drastically improved my win rate. My process became systematic vs problematic.
@thisisdjen once said something about training your luck.
This is one way to do that.

So what is Vwap? Volume Weighted Average Price
VWAP = Cumulative Price x Volume/Cumulative Volume
A simple indicator but when properly understood became the most valuable part of my system
