One of my biggest goals is to risk more when the market is strong and risk less when the market is difficult. Looking back at the past 5 years, this is how that evolved: In 2022 I was risking more in negative SPY months vs positive SPY months (the exact opposite of what I want to do). In 2023 I got better at playing defense; risking less in difficult months. 2024 was a step backwards, probably an attempt to get outsized returns and force my will on the market. 2025 and especially 2026 have the profile I'm looking for: risking far more in easy months vs difficult months. Looking to skew this further in 2027 🫡

If you're great at Analysis but OK at Risk. You'll probably struggle at Trading If you're OK at Analysis but great at Risk. You'll probably be highly successful at Trading Analysis matters, but it's really all about Risk. ⚠️⚠️⚠️📈📈📈

I love fintwit. Sure, there can be tons of negativity but man how inspiring are stories like @martinlukkt!! Without fintwit I would probably hold a limiting belief that a 20% return is totally killing it. That belief has been stretched by all the big returns shared on here. Martin is stretching that even further. Steph did it for the 3pointer, Roger Banniston for the 4 minute mile. Guys like @martinlukkt, @Qullamaggie, @GnT_Trades are breaking the trading barriers. Love to see it 🙏
Today ended the note on a high, with both the largest single-day gain and the largest monthly gain. It’s extremely unlikely that I'll be able to replicate this in the future, and I know I was really lucky to have the market cooperate. Good night.

You are not the boss passing judgment on the market. You are the employee following its signals.

Hey @AmeetRai, @RichardMoglen, will Journal module with AI make it possible to backtest certain rules/indicators on our own trades? Like what would my results have been if I sold 10% of my position at every ATR extension from the 50 day, vs waiting for a close below the 20 EMA.
ADR extension from MAs indicator built on @Deepvue. Work inspired by @jfsrev's ATR extension indicator on Tradingview. With a few tweaks: -Multiple MA's can be selected. This allows for visualisation of multiple extensions. -Each extension can get different colorcoding. Makes sense to pick same color as MA (as in the screenshot). -Both EMA and SMA can be used. -Separate ADR multiples can be used for each extension. For example 3xADR from 20 EMA and 5x ADR from 50 SMA. -Visualization can be plotted on the *absolute* extension level, instead of below or above the candle. This way the marker shows exactly at what price the extension was hit (also visible in the screenshot). -Candle painting instead of different shaped markers can also be used but this looses the absolute level visualization. Screenshot shows $NOW getting 3x ADR extended from the 20 EMA and 5x ADR from 50 SMA.
