I was about to long the market. Waiting for the candle to close, as always, to confirm my idea.

Then, Trump's tweet.

This simple rule prevented me from the faster loss of my (very short) career.

I built an execution workflow with Claude to force me to do precisely the pre-checks job.

I have gates guiding me through my trade idea unlocking, or not, my size calculator.

It also helped me to understand that I don't master enough orderflow analysis.

I didn’t take a single trade today.

I had several POI but didn’t see what I wanted to see.

I think I would’ve taken a losing one a few days ago. But one day taken alone is nothing. Even a year is nothing.

Keep going.

Finished my Q2 review.

I wasn’t aware how much it helps me to do this work.

I tend to skip week reviews when I don’t trade. This is a mistake.

Do it, every week.

I don’t diversify in a lot of crypto assets.

$SOL and $HYPE are my main holdings for now.

[XO @Trader_XO]

I still believe Hype has a credible path to flipping Solana.

That said, this isn't a Sol vs Hype debate to me. In a strong bull market, both can do exceptionally from wherever the market lows form fwiw.

I've been a seller/trading (perps which includes longs as well) in recent weeks, but as stated previously, in the case of Hype (and Bitcoin), that capital will eventually finds its way back into accumulating more Hype and Bitcoin respectively....

Today was a big day.

1. I won a trade I would not have taken a few days ago.

Absorption of buyers + lack of continuation + selling pressure.

2. My first playbook is finished.

Now, I will work on my execution workflow to behave systematically as in controlled conditions.

[own @Trader_own]

Every day, I'm getting up with the fear of failing. But every day, I'm showing up.

Maybe someday, it will pay off.

[own @Trader_own]

As a day trader, I wasn’t very aware of HTF levels. Thinking it was for swing traders.

Today was a very good example.

Today’s high was the POC of the February Range and VAL FVRP of the May 15th leg down.

Structural discipline: build systems that work regardless of your emotions.

[own @Trader_own]

Now, it will give me access to the size calculator only after I fill a specific form, which follows my playbooks.

No specific enough reason to take the trade = no access to the size calculator.

Your system needs to protect against potential human errors.

[own @Trader_own]

When I’m tired, I’m less focused and I tend to skip check criteria before taking a trade. This is a recurring problem.

I just solved that:
Before taking a trade, I’m forced to calculate my size through an HTML page I created with Claude.

First and second order thinking:
•Trump says he will bomb Iran tonight, ceasefire is over!

1.This is bearish news. => Short
2.This is bad, but US and Iran have already been bombing each other for days + we know Trump tends to threaten on X before canceling. => Neutral

[own @Trader_own]

I'm building my execution playbook.

After this, I will "finish" my first full playbook. I will keep it updated weekly, but this will be a milestone for me.

I already have 84 observations for my second playbook.

Both will be my entire trading strategy to begin with.

"DON'T GO AGAINST THE TREND."

I wrote that in capital letters and it was in front of my desk for several weeks.

When I see days like today, I remember the little path I've already gone through on my journey.

Pro traders say that uncomfortable trades are those where you have a chance to win.

Learn to be uncomfortable.
