You’re up +30% on an options play.
You don’t lock profit.
Next thing you know, you’re down -10%.
You hold out for a reversal.
No reversal. Down -30% now. It’s gotta reverse soon, right?
Down -60%. Might as well hold and hope at this stage, right?
Green ➜ red ➜ zero.

“I didn’t want to lose $100, so I lost $1000 instead.”
Your ego and need for validation can convince you to choose an axe wound over a papercut.

I used to trade intraday even when I knew I was too busy to actively manage the trade.
I don't do that anymore because it's akin to shoveling money into a fire pit (which sounds more fun).
Did I miss last week's delicious trend day? Yes.
Did I miss today? Yes.

My first few hours in the market are always the strongest. When I overstay my visit, I end up:
1. Babysitting a position I could have locked on
2. Overtrading on mediocre setups
3. Giving back a portion of my gains
Worse than all of that? Burning MENTAL capital.
Be honest.
How many of you tend to overtrade or give your gains back after the first few hours of market open?

Stay focused. Most of social media is a highlight reel after all.

It was eye opening & everything made beautiful sense, *but* - mentally I struggled with choosing a PPM (PERSONAL profit margin) and staying loyal to it.

Mid-workout epiphany. 💡
Position size is like choosing weights. Too heavy, and your execution will suffer. You might even hurt yourself.
Master a weight (size) where you can execute with proper form, & then gradually apply the progressive overload principle for bigger gains.

Better to end the day up +$30 than down -$1200, but sometimes we trade ourselves into oblivion because the size of the green isn’t substantial enough.
Adopt a marathon mindset.

Would you rather...?
[A] lock profits and see a play run higher
[B] not lock profits and see a play tank
After many experiences with the latter, I’ll choose Option A any day - and keep emotion out of it. Take a bite of the meat and move onward.
Greed / fear don’t serve us here.

Giving context to your PnL is really important, as we tend to become desensitized to the numbers on the screen.
$100 is a steakhouse dinner.
$300 might be a car payment.
$1000 for a nice weekend getaway.
Make a habit of giving it context.

Tough trading week for me - no rhythm, forced mediocre trades, got chopped up.
When I’m hungry to recoup losses, I know I’m likely to trade on tilt. I’m going to play coach and take myself out of the game this week.
Let the earnings dust settle + come back for a strong May.

When you constantly break your trading rules, you’re breaking trust with self.
Mistrust then breeds fear, self doubt + lack of conviction.
How can you thrive in a market full of uncertainties if you’re harboring all that?
Honor your rules, honor yourself.

Just like the heavy filter used on my face, setting a faux standard for girls and beauty across social media - it’s all an illusion.
Be mindful of what you’re feeding your brain and how you’re comparing yourself to others.
You vs. You is all that matters. 🪞

As an Iranian-American who is used to these misconceptions, it’s important to note that the ideologies of the Russian people and their ruthless leaders are not one and the same.

Let the stop loss do the hard work for you.
You may hate the idea of getting stopped out just shy of your entry, but I promise you it’s better than ending up -40% in a matter of seconds.
You can ALWAYS re-enter a trade.

A lot of us jumped into trading headfirst w/o much knowledge or experience - trial and error, learning along the way, market tuition, etc.

I never used to pay myself.
I’d accumulate gains and admire my port like a trophy. 🏆
Then, when I’d take a loss, I’d focus so hard on getting back to peak gains that I’d lose sight of my process.
Don’t let a focus on PnL (daily or long term) take you away from your process.
