Yesterday, I met a trader whom I mentored a few months ago.
In just the last 2 months, he's up 34%, and I am sharing one of the trades he took.
I really wanted to reveal his identity, but he requested that I keep it private for personal reasons.
What inspired me the most wasn't the returns : it was his discipline.
He told me:
"Last month, I took only 2 trades. In May 2026, I took just 3 trades."
"I only take A++ trades. If there isn't one, I don't trade. Even if I miss a few opportunities, I don't compromise."
His routine is surprisingly simple.
After coming home from work, he spends around 45 minutes scanning the market, marks only the stocks that meet his A++ criteria, and takes positions with 25% of his account per trade. Then he simply follows his trailing stop-loss rules.
That's it.
No overtrading. No forcing setups. No chasing the market.
The result?
34% in just two months.
Honestly, I was amazed. And it reminded me that, as mentors, we can also learn from our students.
I hope one day he feels comfortable sharing his journey with all of you.
It was truly inspiring.
