What was your favorite part of the trading session today?

Building an extraordinary life (by its very definition) requires an above ordinary effort. Some of you though have a pattern of behavior that will prevent you from ever achieving it. That pattern goes like this: 1) You pay for a course 2) You don’t get the result you wanted as fast as you’d like 3) You call it a scam and bounce to the next shiny object One of the back door benefits of being in this community is you can’t use that excuse here. All of the information is free and you’ve seen week after week your peers having success with it. That means you have no one to blame but YOURSELF. Ultimately that’s a good thing. Excuses, valid or not, will never lead to long-term success. If you’re being honest with yourself, they’re really just a way for you to avoid admitting you failed. BUT…failure is a 🔑 part of the success process. You only achieve extraordinary goals by embracing your failure and learning to overcome it. I’m no different. I’ve failed countless times to get me where I am today: - I got fired from my first job out of college (I didn’t like it so didn’t put in the work necessary to add value to the company) - I never really made a ton of money working for my large financial advisor firm (I wasn’t willing to make cold calls outside of my network) - I struggled for years with day trading before I ever made any real money (I lacked the mindfulness required to be consistent) - I put off building an online business for a whole year before I got it going (I didn’t have any sales or marketing skills) Notice how I never blamed my circumstances or someone else? All of these failure were MY FAULT. Just like yours are all on YOU now. That can be a scary thing… But it’s also liberating! It means you have complete control to shape your own destiny 💪

This is NOT a political post. Just my thoughts as a fund manager on where opportunities may present themselves over the next 4 years. My job is to look at the landscape of circumstances, and do my best to put myself in a position to take advantage of potential opportunities.

I won't be doing trading of any kind today. Increased volatility in the market and basically already blew through all zones to the upside on US equities and blowing through all zones to the downside on GC. Smart play is to wait it out and establish a normal price flow. Don't make the classic "greed based" mistake of trying to chase what you think is going to happen. A lot of that already happened in the overnight. You don't really know where price goes from here.
