Did well on ydays CRVO rig and even better on today's $ICCM.
Long side only, solid reads on all legs, scooped more into private placement news anticipating good bounce up. The only missing piece was HOD clearout. Maybe tomorrow?

No large losses
Keep them small and manageable.
Remind yourself of this immediately as the trade goes against you. Several mounting losses in a day can lead to breaking your daily loss limit which can be equally devastating

$MSFT has now scheduled earnings, so here is a look at first quarter 2025 earnings season. $PLTR $AMZN $GOOGL & $UBER still haven't scheduled their earnings yet, so they have been left off this calendar.

The Q4 earnings season kicks off next Wednesday, instead of the usual Friday kick-off we see each season, on the 15th with the banks reporting. This is actually the first Q4 report since 2020 that the banks collectively aren’t reporting on a Friday. Note: any company marked with an asterisk are currently unconfirmed. Watch for: $TSM, $JPM, $UNH, $BAC, $WFC, $MS, $GS, $BLK, $C, $INFY, $PNC, $USB, $TFC, $BK, and many more. #earnings #q4 #stockmarket #investing #trading #stocks

** Trading Tip**

Momentum can be deadly.

I have a mantra... "Momentum Kills" , similar...
"Momentum ends lives, but structure saves lives".

What do I mean by that?
Every time I can think of that I (or someone else) came close to blowing up my account, or actually blowing my account came as a result of me fading/shorting extreme momentum, or, longing extreme momentum when I severely underestimated the possible move against me, therefore in with size way too big.
Had I just waited for the chart structure to form, I would have entered appropriately and known where to stop out.
Another way momentum kills is when you are in a position without a stop when news hits or other event, and you are sitting on a huge loss you don't want to take.
Refer to the attached charts.

@madaznfootballr All green. Nice comeback, Max!

Traders get killed by losses.

They get angry, they change system, they give up.

Take a loss as fuel to improve, not as a reason to give up.

1. Analytical Vision

- Trading charts are the battlefield. You can't win without knowing your enemies.
- 95% of trading information is within your charts.
- Train your eye. Spot patterns. Find edges. Create profitable systems.

For those wondering why $HKD is up

It's an inside job to create liquidity before the 11th.

On Jan 11th 16m shares at $7.80 become available.

They had a plan all along.

Run it up while float is thin create a market and they can hedge.

If your execution is bad, backtest more.

If your emotion control is bad, meditate more.

If your system is bad, practice more.

Don't waste your time doing nothing.

[Nathan Michaud @InvestorsLive]

Risk management is particularly important right now...

[MoneyTradeEdge | Better Thinking Better Trading @MoneyTradeEdge]

The market is not your friend.

Be humble, follow your system and manage risk.

The market is always ready to kick your ass.

[Nathan Michaud @InvestorsLive]

Be cautious getting bearish over one or two candles - easy to get run over that way. Best to wait for things to fail many times and change trend on their own. Gap and grind days are my most low confidence days -- my brain just doesn't work that way although it should by now.

[MoneyTradeEdge | Better Thinking Better Trading @MoneyTradeEdge]

- Failure
- Mental breakdown
- Long time to develop trading skills

If you can do this, you can do anything.

$AVCT intraday offering play.
$RMED short into stuff of failed rotation.
$KPRX short fbo anticipation, stopped out. Reshorted shelf, got fade, held for decent unwind due to cycle deflation.
$ATXI short early opening fbo into HOD cover unwind.

Trading is not rocket science.

1) Edge
2) Risk management
3) Emotion control / Execution

Don't overcomplicate things.

[MoneyTradeEdge | Better Thinking Better Trading @MoneyTradeEdge]

The sooner you realize you will always leave money on the table,

The sooner you will start trading without greed.

Confidence destroys fear.

Discipline destroys breaking rules.

Consistency destroys impatience.

Developing your skills is the best trading investment.

Staying calm after a loss means you're not manipulated by your emotions.
