Dear Traders,
I am continuing the transparency series and, as you’ve grown accustomed, I am showing you both the wins and the reality behind trading.
Last month I made this post where I showed how I made 8,362 dollars in January.
This month has been one of the hardest months in the last 10 months, in my opinion.
For me personally, although this month, if we look at realized profits, will show a negative month, I consider that I traded much better than in January when I made money.
I respected my risk management for all my trades and downgraded risk, as I said I would at the end of January.
Let’s look at our first statistic:
This month I lost approximately $2,000, about 1.55% of my account.
However, as usual, we need to look at more than just that, specifically, how much I risked to reach these figures.
It’s perfectly normal to experience losing weeks, months, or even quarters. The key is to remember that trading is a long-term endeavor.
And this is how the February calendar looks.
What is the plan for next month?
Need to be more selective
For example, if you watch the entire video, you will see that it wasn’t just a one-time occurrence where I took trades like FLEX and CLS, which are practically in the same sector and move identically, sharing the same patterns and price action.
I need to choose the leader from that group, choose the best one and stick to that one. It makes no sense to have exposure to two stocks that move the same way.
You double the risk of an overnight gap caused by news specific to that company.
So, moving to the next month, I need to:
Stick to 0.25% risk per trade, and even lower it if conditions become even worse.
Don’t size up unless you are already in profit on a few names.
Stick to the leaders, don’t take two names in the same group.
Why do I spend hours meticulously documenting every single entry and exit?
Because you cannot fix what you do not measure.
The biggest difference between a struggling swing trader and a profitable one isn’t a secret indicator or a magic strategy. It’s the review process.
Amateurs place a trade, lose money, get mad, and immediately try again.
Pros place a trade, lose money, review the tape, and adjust their edge.
Journaling is the absolute only way to stop bleeding capital on the exact same mistake twice. That discipline is exactly where your financial freedom lives.
Stop Guessing. Start Systematizing.
If you are tired of throwing money at the wall to see what sticks, you need a rigid system. You need clear, unbreakable rules.
