Almost 10 years into trading.
Still learning.
Still improving.
Still not giving up.

The journey toward real consistency

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

Solid plan 👊 One thought though — if “green every day” means making money every trading day? - that can be a tough target mentally. You can have plenty of red days and still have a great, profitable month — depending on risk management, of course.

Wishing you all the best in September, brother!

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@champagneszn777 Huge respect for this. I’ve only recently started documenting my own trading, and it’s given me a whole new appreciation for people who show up publicly every day — That consistency and accountability deserves respect 🙏

Last week’s trading recap
A small adjustment to my trade management is working really well so far.
Still early, but I’m very optimistic and motivated. At the same time, I know how quickly this game can humble you. Get too cocky and the market will punch you in the face 💥

@tradercams You trading on a mac brother? 🤔

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@AdamWTrades So I understand you’re trading funded accounts, but I’m guessing you’re also trying to pass some more evals to add accounts? Maybe YOLO’ing a couple along the way? 😂 Speaking from my own embarrassing experience here…

I’m gonna guess $300

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@joseftrades Very happy with that 🙏 Excited to see if I can keep it up in the coming months.

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

A measurable track record is a way of collecting data.

You don’t need expensive software, but recording and reviewing your trades helps you identify what works, what doesn’t, and whether you’re actually following your strategy.

Calling all journaling a “psyop” is a wild take, in my opinion.

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@massimotrades I risk $100 per trade on my funded accounts. Max 2 losing trades per day, targeting around 2.5R per trade.

Keeping it boring and controlled.

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

Had a great week trading NQ after making a slight adjustment to my entry model.

Very excited to see if I can keep this momentum going forward.

No trades for me tomorrow.

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

A tough couple of weeks trading NQ futures. Honest numbers, some lessons, and a plan for what to adjust going forward #daytrading #futures #tradezella https://t.co/s6DReEJAhC

If you’re struggling with trading right now, I highly recommend reading Simon Reeze’s chapter, “The Fifth Time Is the Charm,” in @jackschwager ‘s Market Wizards: The Next Generation.

Great reminder of how long and difficult this journey can be before things finally start to click.

Really good for motivation when you feel like you’re still trying to put together those last pieces of the puzzle. 🙏

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@TheH0n3stTrader I’ll give you the boring answer: Bias. Liquidity. Confirmation.

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@TheOptionGod @TheH0n3stTrader Legend! 🤩😆

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

@AdamWTrades I see strict risk management, no overtrading, and a rules-based approach. From what I understand - markets have been tough for a lot of traders lately. From what I can see, you’re protecting your downside well

[Erlend @ErlendTrades]

My slightly adjusted entry model absolutely nailed today’s price action.

Feeling dangerously confident right now 😬

Now it’s just a matter of time, patience, and making sure the market doesn’t punch me in the face — as it tends to do with overconfident pricks 😆
