after 6 long ass mths of absolutely grinding it out, I've managed to pull myself clear of drawdown (for now)... on the scale of challenges life can throw at you, this battle of mine was quite low... however it was really testing, demons were fought... and I have emerged stronger
+29.7k - put together my 2nd biggest month ever... really proud of the way I bounced back after the Oct/Nov shenanigans, got back to my groove and really managed to get out of my own way... everyone stay safe, enjoy your holidays and time with loved ones... review attached 💪💪
+41.8k... record month feels good... I'm happy with the way that i kept my consistency throughout, with a renewed focus on staying green to maintain mental capital for the big moments, best articulated through my PnL ratio... back on the tools tomorrow! 💪💪
sup gang 💪 here's my episode on my trading journey so with as much insight as I could cram in/remember... if I have missed anything or you want something covered in more detail, just dm me and ill make it work... otherwise, happy slappin! 📈📈
+11.9k - chopped the AXE into the low like a boss before it went to visit a few martian homies... b some NVX and chopped them pretty well as the 2.80 failed to hold... s the SOR match and then b the first puke... solid, scalpy work today and back to trading whats in front of me
+10.9k - happy mondee gang... didnt feel like talkin too much last week, but I do appreciate all the messages and lovely thoughts... I did work however, results attached... arvo action in BD1 also attached... have a good arvo gang 💪
+14.3k... turned out to be a record month for me PnL wise, more than that I feel like I turned a bit of a corner in terms of my self belief/mental toughness... I learned a lot this month but I was also reminded regularly of how far I have to go... keen for many more lessons 💪
+15.1k - another one in the bhaaag... got off to a flyer but then went sideways for 2 weeks... the theme of this month for me really was MENTAL CAPITAL... I toasted all of mine early and struggled to regain my mojo... full report attached, lemme know if you got any questions 💪💪
+32.1k - started the month stuck in Sydney, ended the month back in God's country... couple of absolute howlers and a couple of zingas too... short squeezes and rebellion, Jan had it all... in the end I put together my 2nd biggest month and for that I am very grateful 💪
+20k - market is off its head this week... to be fair I was pretty loosey goosey with my midday Z1P shenanigans as well as a few arvo punts which still needs work as I deadset churned through lunch, but in the big moments today I was able to step up and swing hard... lesgo 💪
+19.8k - another positive month... overall I'm happy with the result, although a little bit more discipline post 11am over the last 3 days would've gone a long way to really driving it home... more detailed review attached for anyone interested... enjoy the rest of the day gang💪
sex is cool, but have you ever returned to your ergonomically astute seat at your comfy trading station with great internet and full compliment of screens after sitting on the floor and trading off the coffee table at your gf parents place with upload speed of <3mbps for 5 weeks
+6.6k - pretty happy with the end to the week... traded the first hour solidly and took advantage of most of what I saw... was a bit messy with some MSB overtrading around 2pm but managed to nail A2M s from 1060... sending love to everyone in syd, enjoy ur wkend but stay safe 💪
+6.2k - all the winning from yesty, less of the losing... got up early, got my prep done and felt prepared for the market both in my plan and in my mindset... saw the trade, took the trade and didn't let the ego get involved today 💪
+9.2k - started poorly after taking ART GNC OSH matches and getting dunked on... turned my attention back to ART around 10.20am as it started breaking higher... scalped it like a mad man through the morning... got a little caught up in the arvo chop but otherwise a solid day 💪
I got to speak to
@longhorncapital
for EP 9 of SH... twas my first time interviewing/hosting someone, a new challenge that I thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to doing more of... I hope you enjoy my chat with the Sydney Scalper himself, Nick Fabrio 💪
+12.8k - and so ends a wild wild month filled with insanity on each end of the spectrum... its been a bit of a rollercoaster but I feel like I have done the most amount of growing/application to improving... plenty of howlers, but plenty of positives to build on - cheers gang 💪
+27k - first 2 weeks i felt great, scalped around and made the most of the volatility... big change in market conditions/behaviour the start of week 3 which i clearly didnt adjust to... happy with the overall effort but many improvements to be made... stay safe out there gang 💪
+9.2k - instead of being smart and buying it, i got short Z1P too early and toasted 2.5k... miss the 850 failure but manage to reshort around 810 as it bounced off vwap and held the core pretty well to 751... tried to re b 748 but got steamrolled for some as it cannoned into 730
+4.7k - had 75t SOR in the match but was shaken out on the first candle... got back in at the 75s and chopped them around 80 before it puked back into vwap... re b 76 as it bounced of vwap and held em to 84ish... prints attached gang 💪
TRADING UPDATE: sup g, a lil update from me... in April I was a silly sausage and was very much on the verge of blowin up... in May I tightened the screws and got a lot more control back, but still have some climbing to do... full review attached for your perusing pleasure 💪
#ASX
+7.8k - couldnt have asked for a better stART today... scalped the drive from 78 to 86 then 88 to 95... then managed to get some short from 58... still a little too loose in the arvo for my liking, but some green shoots are appearing 💪
+7.4k - match scalp 5GN out the gate then proceeded to get beat up tryna short Z1P too early... chopped around and was only up smalls until the btd opp in RBL around 12.50pm (prints attached)... managed to get some back in Z1P shorting the 1350 crack at 2.20ish... 💪
-4.7k - i present to you... *drumroll*... my biggest losing day... prob time to get back on the drink... lol jks... on a serious note however, today hurt, i didnt act like a professional at all... this blow up was kinda coming, ive been lucky lately and today there was no bailout
+5.7k - happy with a solid day and a record week... effort was good as I stayed nimble around the SIP... could have got bigger on the APT 75 drop, and held the Z1P 730 drop a little better... have a good one gang, lets spread positivity and not covid this wkend plz 💪
+1.5k - my lack of prep/report cards had been obvious in my performance over the past 2wks... today I went back to the structures that keep my trading in check, a morning prep + post trade report... the result was solid but the re-committment to the process was most satisfying 💪
Hey gang - just taking a step back from SM and Slap Happy this week for some personal stuff... appreciate the msgs and thoughts, I’ll be back reporting my blow ups next week... cheers gang 💪💪💪
been a hell of a grind this year, a lot of wheels got spun... I havent adapted at all to the change in conditions post April, a lot to reflect on and work on going into the new year... still so much to be grateful for, so enjoy the chrissy break gang, stay safe and have fun! 💪🍺
-5.2k - life is about balance, right? 🙄... after a zinging 4 days I failed to do the NUMBER ONE thing today when conditions got trickier... sit on my hands! Forced the action and ended up eating a coqmeatsammich... genuinely looking forward to letting my brain rest this wkend 💪
+4.2k - some in and out mail... super scalpy stuff from me today, prints attached... good job on the numbers today Sydney, lets keep the responsible train chuggin along! Chooo Chooo 🚂💪
This week has easily been the toughest of my trading career, my mental toughness has some way to go and is something I’ll forever need to work at... I wanna say THANK YOU for the positivity/words of encouragement I’ve received from you all, it’s been amazing and humbling 💪
+2.1k - damn this been a wild week/month as depicted by the chart... totally bungled it this morning in Z1P/ART up front, but stayed solid and found an opp in ART/LEX to bring balance to the force... have a good wkend gang and good luck to the homie diggin the suez canal 💪
+3.6k - was s MSB from the match, covered for a decent scalp, got back in and held on the rip through vwap, pieced in and out a little too frequently but eventually helf for the 400 crack... better would have been covering into 395... still happy with the result
-4.5k - biggest losing day ever by a fair whack, happy birthday to me 🥳... on a serious note, today is a perfect example of what happens when you go away from your edge... combine that with a lack of self awareness and it can get ugly... ah well, off to eat some cheesecake now
+6.6k - b some BRN just after open and caught a decent piece of that move, chopping them at 38.5 and 39... s the Z1P match on 7500 units and insta covered 691... chopped around in SZL mid morn... scalped Z1P a couple more times on the way the way up around midday
+1.4K - couldnt be happier with today... dialled in and made sure I was super scalpy and tight with my stops... left tiny bits on the table in MFD ART WEB but mostly happy with my intent this morn
Cheers to 2020... you’ve been an interesting beast... sending love to everyone who has struggled this year, there’s been a lot of pain and loss... be kind to ourselves and to others as best we can while we hope for the best... stay safe tonight and I’ll see you all next year 💪💪
-2.2k - yesterday i made the mistake of trading when i knew i wasnt feeling great and it cost me... i was pretty emotional about the loss as it showed a very clear lack of self awareness that i still struggle with... dont trade when ya feelin SHITE!
+4K... this month is a tale of 3 parts... 1) good morning routine and doing my report card = trade well and make $... 2) down on myself/form slump, no report card or morning routine = trade poorly and lose $... 3) return to routine and report cards = trade good and make bulk $
+3.9k - the morning was slow for me, but I'm really happy with the way I reserved my mental capital and didnt overtrade, that allowed me to capitalise on the SZL fade and take a decent winner in 4DX... also my new song is out today and it's Friday so I'm feelin good!

this is my gratitude journal 🙏
I’ve really fallen in love with the practice of gratitude in the last 12 months… this tool has done a lot to help me see the good in every moment… a life lived focused on harnessing that amount of love and joy is a life well lived ♥️
imho dyor
this week was my best trading week in roughly a year…
nothin to do with PnL (barely broke even), everything to do with process/discipline…
small steps, but super proud of my effort and genuinely looking forward to Mon…
but first, lemme soak in the best city on the planet
+4.2k - way too many silly buggers throughout the first 2 weeks of Nov, I was trading quite carelessly and my pnl reflected that... managed to turn it round and see some greenery with an amendment to my pre-game ritual that seemed to help... a review of the month is attached 💪
+1.2k - b FMG match and took 8 ticks out of it... b 58 in IMM just after match and got them out at 61... b some Z1P match and got 3 ticks out before double dippin and givin a lil back... pretty tidy effort and decent way to finish the week 💪💪
yo twit-gang... next 2 weeks will be trading related episodes for my poddy... an introduction/recap of my trading journey so far, followed by my first ever guest, who happens to be a very reputable Aussie trader... if you got any questions for me or the guest, hit me in the DM
+1.7k - twas not straightforward, but we got there... im really strugglin to see it at the moment... the tape is messy and im way too baggy in spots that i shudnt be... grind szn is in full effect until conditions favour me... stay vigilant gang! ps. new poddy later today 💪
+3.8k - got too frisky in BBN early, thing was choppy and my entries weren't great... b some MSB after match and copped a beat... flipped em short thru 500 and traded it a few times on the way down to bank a solid end to the week... everyone stay grindin and have a safe weeknd 💪
+4.4k - Z1P was s just above 10, add below 10 once it dropped and cover 940/930... made a little buying the bounce, was content with the start... M7T had the ass fall out, no good... then toasted 2k tryna re s Z1P thru 9, got a bit stubborn and decided to call it a day after that
+4.2k - traded the open like an absolute peanut and was -700 odd early... picked up a deadset gift in the ESK pandemonium mid morning and was able to build some momentum from there... stage 3 lockdowns back in effect, everyone stay safe and plz be kind to one another, we need it
+4.9k... got off to a shabby start tryna force WEB/trying to btd in SPT early on... the majority of the day was spent shorting Z1P as it faded including a big chunk thru the 600 crack... then the heavens opened up and 5t OPY borrow fell on my lap to which i rejoiced
+1.3k - took a small L yesty but was mainly an observer... today i really attacked my plan, went back to my mandate and put much more respect on my patience in an attempt to not overtrade... really thrilled with my application to the process this morning... 💪💪
+2416... traded the match like a demon, was frantic as hell but i was happy with the chop chop mayhem... after 30 mins i was 8 trades, no losses.... then the usual midday/arvo blues set in to see me go 0/4... steadied the ship and didnt do too much damage in the end... 💪
+1.4k - s some FLT match and scalped 6 ticks... b EXL 32 and s WEB match at the same time, as a result didnt nail exits on either... went back for 2nds in EXL which cost me 450ish before I took a slice of SPL... didnt trade great post match, was a bit sloppy but got away with it
The people have spoken! Here is a lil Q&A sesh wit
@longhorncapital
for EP 10 of SH... Nick did manage to speak into the mic this time, however my camera work let the team down 😢... either way please enjoy 💪💪
+6.4k - I decided to finish wit a Lil Lex (no it's not a rapper)... that'll be me done for the month as I'm off to Sydney shortly, enjoy the rest of the week gang! 💪
+1.6k - b MNF match which ended up being the day saver, saw the LEX late and missed the main move but managed to take a little nibble, also not taking the ASB short was a bit of a miss even though the book wasnt hella perky
the response to my trading journey podcast has been insane, thank you to everyone who has watched/shared/commented 😊... she can also be found on Spotify and Apple podcasts if anyone would prefer audio only 💪💪 cheers gang
+3.1k - held the early backlash in AR9 to pull a few ticks out of it... moved onto CYP where I b 25t in the match, added 88 and chopped em into 90.5... tried to s RWC from 343 and got face ripped, another crack at 345, covering at 335... early one for me today, good luck gang 💪
+826 - feeling inspired after a hectic weekend making a hectic music video so with this rejuvination of my soul and renewed defence against the dark arts (twitter addiction)... I have decided to start posting again, gonna be trying something new though so work wit me people 💪
+1.8k - b the ASM match and got em out at 388 on that drive... b KPG match and hit the first bid that stepped up, s Z1P match and insta chopped 741... didnt take any chances this morn, grabbed what was in front of me and buggered off...
+1.9k - had a really ordinary sleep and was up late so decided to play safe this morning and consolidate... scalp the AXE SZL matches and turned the comp off
-$576 - October was my first losing month in 2 years of trading... market was tricky but my professionalism was lacking and it showed in the result... a little disappointing of course, but I know I was far from my best... now I look forward to getting back to it... HAGW gang 💪💪
+1k - the name of the game out there for me was "preserve mental capital"... I feel like I achieved what I set out to do today, and I can't really ask for too much more than that
+1483... traded my pants off in the opening phase considering what was on offer... came back in the arvo and gave a fair bit back trying to find my pants... finished green so not too many complaints, apart from the fact that I'm yet to locate my pants
+1.4k - yesterday was solid, but it would've meant little if I weren't to execute again today (you're only as good as your last XYZ)... really happy with scratch in BD1 EGR... scratching things for me is a sign I'm actually reading the book and executing based on tape, not hope
+3k... traded the open quite frantically and was 1/5 early on... took a decent chunk of $TYR to get me back in the green... $Z1P news was the day maker as I was able scalp it on both sides effectively... a little $VVA late to cap off a solid day
+2.7k - got a fair few M7Ts but had to burn em early... s some Z1P too early as well where I toasted $500... s WEB just after match as FLT dropped 1540 before coverin them into 482ish... re short Z1P on the 2nd 730 drop and cover into 720
+959 - finding it tough out there + trading poor, but importantly I'm finding a way to win... despite the challenging conditions, staying in the fight and maintaining mental capital are key... be vigilant, be self-aware and don't lie to yourself... have a good day gang 💪
+2.5k - took a little ABC to get the ball rolling but out waaay too early of course... nice match scalp in CAN... scalped around in TUA somewhat successfully... solid end to the week and good start to the month... enjoy your wkend gang 💪
+2.9k - nice lil scalp in GSS as i stayed out of the early MSB action... finally got to buying it, bit early tho and cut myself up to be -800 in it... finally got it to stick after that lil pull back when i b 311 and added 316 and 322 before cutting them at 339... hagw gang 💪
+3k - s some TLG match was the key win today, couldnt get much on, but managed to scalp them out around 165... missed the 10 lift in VUL but did jump in to btd when it puked into 1150ish... few scalps in GLN and RHY to pad the stack, happy with the scalpiness of my efforts today
+4.1k - started strong wit some DCN and OPY... almost gave it all back trying to catch Z1P short, stuck with it and eventually got the biccies... took a little more OPY late but scalped em too quick and missed out on all the rockets 🚀🚀
+2.6k - kept it tight, took the $ on the table and did my job... was a bit late to EML so missed an opp to size up and nail that drive, but happy with the result... proud of my effort today 💪
+2.5k - had a bit of a short bias but decided to b the 49.5 with the gang... as a result missed my s entry as i fumbled to cut the long for a loss... managed to hit some s and took 7 ticks out of it... re s again from 44 for another 3 ticks... decent way to end the month/year
-3.6k - got big, got stubborn, got burned... that why they call it LIT? 🔥 ...on a serious note, yesterday I got lucky, today I did not... stubborness/willingness to venture outside where I've found success has lead to 2 poor days of trading and a decent toll on my mental capital
-1.1k - the slow start to Feb continues for me, I toasted another 2k yesterday arvo in KIS and then traded pretty frantically this morning... almost skillful the way I lost all of them... not to fear though, right back to basics come mondee, there's a whole lot of month left!
+2.1k... dusted myself early to get into a spot of bother, before managing to catch the 395 drop in QAN ✈️... flopped around for the rest of the day after that, but a solid finish to the week nevertheless... have fun gang, go spread some positivity this weekend 💪
0 - didnt take anything today, nothing setup to my liking... probably a miss not shorting FXL at 117ish, but happy to stay out of that for the time being to focus on my best setups... have a good day gang 💪
+94 - honestly super happy with this... I got a bit unlucky in DDR IRI Z1P but was happy enough with execution, and gave VUL every chance to crack 630... overall I kept it tight and traded to plan... positive end to the week for me... hope everyone has a healthy/happy weekend 💪
+5.9k - apologies for pumpin my own book and reporting unrealised profit yesty... like many others this morning I learned that unrealised profit is a very different thing to realised profit... today was tricky but solid... my IP1 failing in the match should make tomorrow fun😢
+1.3k - plan was to trade travelers but liked the look of some EHE short, hit 194.5 and scalped them out through 191 and 188... b a little WEB match and got 3 ticks out of it... super solid start to the week
+1.5k - tight and scalpy today, really wasnt tryna do much more than get green and stay green in order to start building confidence back... plenty of match scalps, PM8 I b after match, and was roughly 30 min hodl, prints attached... have a good day everybody
