#34 out of the TOP 50 as of September 30th. Not bad so far, for my first serious year in the USIC! And I hope to move up a little by the end of the year. ππ»
It took me until April to clean out my portfolio of positions and trades dragging on my high-growth swing trading performance. Since then I'm +119.2%, projecting 359% annualized. So next year from January 1st I'll be ready! And hope to take a TOP 10 in 2026! π₯

I threw a large Listerine bottle onto my couch up in my office upstairs, and it bounced off the cushion and bounced and wobbled all over the floor ... sounded like a body slamming the floor...
...simultaneously, I was sitting down in my chair at my desk and because I did a back workout at the gym and was sore, I grunted really loud "ugggggh!!!" as I plopped down in my chair to work.
My wife called upstairs all worried: "Are you alright??!!" thinking I had fallen and got knocked unconscious π

Tight stops don't matter, if you plan to pyramid your position. As you add to your position, you increase the cost basis. You have the freedom at that add point, to add as many or few shares would push your cost basis to exactly where you want it to be relative to your new raised stop, thus creating a new R unit moving forward.
Everyone seems to have all the answers, but few have the money and success. Many years ago, I woke up one morning; I looked into the mirror and I ask myself a very important question: if you're so smart, why aren't you rich? That was the day I started shutting my mouth and listening carefully to those who had more success than me. Because the truth was - at that point - I wasn't that smart yet. But I had to get my ego out of the equation. Then my life changed profoundly.
