In 2024, I traded london & new york. new york was the clear winner. In 2025, I traded new york & asia. asia holds were a dream come true. In 2026, I either close an asia trade at rth market open or rth market close. data>

Mondays lean bullish (57% all time, 67% in a bullish week). On a bullish Monday, the dominating profile is Asia Low to NY PM High. Data>

Making money & managing money are two different skills. Living payout to payout is way better than living paycheck to paycheck. However, one should probably learn how to manage & grow money if the goal is truly generational wealth. You likely cannot out-earn bad spending.

How many Trading Day Ones are still trading?
Look around, do you know people that have already quit? It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.

Being wrong but locking in profits & making progress is the best trust building habit I’ve developed.

After an inside day, I always expect an outside day. I’ve observed it a lot in real time but was statistically debunked to my surprise.

Alpha Futures started a crazy win streak for me 18 months ago, just saying. Disclaimer: I have never earned a single cent in affiliate commissions from them.

Less than 1000 ticks feels like a scalp these days. Micros.

With your current risk management, will you even survive 5 years?
Are you prepared to dedicate a minimum of 5 years to this without profitability?
