📌In general, you can't predict the future and it's not in your control You only know 1) your setup, 2) the probability of that setup working out, 3) your risk tolerance, and 4) how to manage your risk So, within those 4 parameters, create, trade, manage your positions

Regardless of who you follow/subscribe to, make sure that they are honest, own up to their mistakes, and don't falsely convince you that you can always make money You WILL have down days, and if anyone tells you otherwise, it's because they're thriving off your sub money

Here’s some insight into how I use @CheddarFlow to identify a winning trade: On Friday, there was unusual, large call buying action in $ATHM as you can see 👇 There was some great consolidation + relative strength to the name/sector (China) which prompted a further look 👇

What did I learn from today? 1) Don’t enter positions at stupid times of the day like 12:32 unless you have a good reason to 2) Don’t re-enter a position you lost money on in the same day 3) Add to winners when possible

VERY important to note here on $ES The last H4 200EMA dip we had recently and everyone thought March lows were incoming, I said it would be crucial to stay BELOW it to confirm lower Losing H4 200EMA and confirming is going to signal a change in trend, keep your eyes peeled
