Dream come true after 5 years grinding and entire journey documented on YouTube.
Many floors still to be addressed.
Major thanks to

First month ever i controlled my losses and made my green days bigger than all of my red days. $7.7k - there's a lot more work to be done on risk management but this is a good step forward

A lot of effort went into the first $30k. I know I can do it now though. My dream was always to hit $100k. Then, do it ten more times :-). The journey is real and the path can be walked by anyone.

Record month: $15k
Green days bigger than red days.
Discipline, process risk always top priority.
Prepared and ready to go long when market changes.
Happy to short as market is.
Still majorly a work in progress.

Losing sucks early on, but trade small, you’ll make it back incredibly quickly later. My best $15k month pretty much covers my three years of losing and im just starting.

I've been good at turning $500ish into 5k quite a few times in the last 12 months. I knew I had to step up now and turn $1k into $10k. Double the value. My $900ish start from March 27 is now at $8k. Nearly achieved.
@timothysykes
always believed with hard work I could achieve.

- $30k account
- Max loss $1k Max size $7.5 broker enforced and Dad has my email and password so I can't change it.
- Back to basics: Trading only gap craps for the next 3 months.
- Trading the same style as last year which turned $600 - $66k.
- If it's not broken don't fix it.

I was constantly hitting max losses and red weeks these last 8 weeks till recently
I spent a lot of time blaming the market. Reality was I was to blame.
I dug deep to find the errors.
The market hasn't changed in the last two weeks, just how I trade it.
Be Accountable.

New record week $6,067.
I'm actually trading less size but using a loss journal and stops - they are both literal life savers.
Thanks for all you do

'Only made $2k this week'. But also:
- Work my own hours with no boss
- Have freedom to do what i want whenever i want
- Live and work my passion
- Invest every hour of my time in me
- Live the Fucking dream BABBYYYYYYYYYY
Go get your change. It's real.

For many I know a $500 day isn't much, but for me it is still a lot. I'm extremely proud and humbled to make that today. We must all remember we are on different stages of the same path but ultimately, with the work, we all reach the same destination.

That’ll be me done for the month. 6,986 let’s call it 7k net 5.5k after fees. Thanks

$2k realised today and 4.9k profit on the week. I can't stress enough that I started knowing nothing and had nothing more than the will to win.

Just withdrew another 12k profits from brokers. Sizing down to close the year. No need to go mental. A $10k year was my target this year. Hitting $60k was outside the realms of possibility so I'll take it. Started $600. 10,000% ROI. Just need to close another $1k and done.

When I was red $15k and took my third $5k loss in 6 weeks in 2018 I very nearly quit. Don't quit. You only fail when you quit.

I have friends that failed at trading and don't post. I have friends that blew up and just disappeared off of the internet. It's not about the biggest gains, it's just about staying in the game.

I'm working on my discipline but i guess not hard enough; or it needs more time. Devastating loss today but even with it included still $10k+ month. I'm gutted but it's part of the journey and I'll grow as always. This winner's mindset got me this far it will get me further.

July in the books not bad $8k month. More security and confidence I can do this consistently. Main lesson: don’t trade tired or drunk. That’s really it. Excited to see where I am this time next year.

I am absolutely closing the year red this year, just for the record. Probably about $7k.
Just putting it out and there and being honest.
It’s been brutal. But deffo learnt a lot thats good.
Many times wanting to quit but once u made $100k once you feel u can do it again.

The only real way to fix discipline is to lose until you feel physically sick and decide the pain of change is less than the pain of staying the same.
15

When I first started trading pretty much everyone said I’d fail, but I knew deep down inside of me I had the drive and ethic to make it work. If you’re gonna make it; you’ll know too. If that flame is burning keep it burning, you’re enduring the hardest part.

2.5k pretty much locked. 10k month locked in Best day ever. Best month ever. When it rains it pours. Thanks everyone for the support. Lets make this just the beginning. Let’s ensure we all rise together.

Got cocky after a $2,500 month and four green months and lost all regard for rules and discipline. Just want to be transparent, really not the end of the world but my only goal now for Jan is to trade sensibly, smaller and finish green with these rules. Never disregard rules.

225
Turned $600 into $3.8k in 23 days. Just shocked. One trade at a time. No ego allowed. Don’t get ahead of yourself. And I’ll be withdrawing profits end of month starting lower but not $600 again.

Some days I think I don't appreciate enough how far I've came in trading; then on days like today i'm sitting looking at charts for fun and feel like i could cry with happiness that this is my job and i don't need to do some shit meaningless job i don't want.

Done. Just shy of $8k month net minus borrows somewhere near $7k. I’d say good job for slowest month of the year. In reality one good week and the rest I struggled. It’s over now and I survived another month In the world of trading that’s enough to fly back to 🏴 happy. Peace.

-$21k today $MRIN.
- Back to a 1k account until January next year to ensure I end the year green.
- Shorting this year is way harder than last year.
- This really blows but if I'm making money doing something i enjoy it seems silly to quit.

Dropping down to part time for now at work to focus on trading. I enjoy it more and earn more from trading so transition makes sense. No rush to be a full time trader, if anything I’ll just travel later with savings. I NEVER WANT A FULL TIME JOB AGAIN.

I won't ever quit on stock-trading ever. Even if it takes ten years to get to the 200 - 500k mark. I don't care. It's more about me winning than the money almost at this point.

There's pressure to earn money trading full-time. BUT, it's the greatest gift to dedicate all hours to what you love - making what you deserve based on how hard you work. FUCK jobs you hate. Get out of that shit.

Four years ago I dreamt of being a profitible trader. Now, less than 5k feels like a bad month. Never quit on your dreams. Monitor progress over years not days or weeks.

- $200 month. More like $-1k after fees.
Struggled last few months. Making a lot of changes to adapt, nothing great is going to happen overnight.
No need for feedback from those not profitable, just showing to be transparent as i showed many winning months prior.

If your target is a 50k year, which mine is/was. It's actually just 50 1k weeks. That's outrageous, we make trading so much harder than it is. Easy just pick one good trade a week and take 1k on it. Sounds like im simplifying but i'm not.

Just being honest. I've dedicated most of my life to this over the last 4 years and I'm like scraping, getting by, at best getting there. You guys better be smart as fuck or working as hard or more than me or you'll struggle to make it.

Today may still be and was the biggest lost of my four years in trading. Main lesson is never to short sub pennies again. At worst was down 5.7k waiting to cut at 6 with tears In eyes, not coz of cash - made and earned plenty - but coz of fear of failing at trading.

After taking my biggest loss of the year (2k) I didn't feel sorry for myself, or go drinking. I shut down my broker and starting working on my monthly recap video for a few hours then woke up early to finish it before going for a run. That's winner's mentality. Video airs tonight
