Hello, my Friends!

Opportunities knock every single day in the world of trading.

Yet, too many traders remain trapped in the rearview mirror - obsessing over what was, blind to the pulse of what is.

It's unfolding right here, right now, in the raw intensity of the present moment. But without recalibrating your mindset - your baseline - you'll forever miss the horizon of possibilities staring you down.

It's akin to the relentless price action unfurling across the three major indices post-New York open - where the market redefines its boundaries in real time, poised to dismantle the unprepared.

I stay focused on my path, fully embracing the now and stretch my limits monthly, ensuring no rush dilutes my edge. This is a performance-driven profession at its core. If you can't withstand the fire of anomalous days or turbulent weeks, you'll never thrive in this high-stakes game.

Embracing The Present

🤝 One of my deepest commitments is to inspire traders like you and ensure no one navigates this journey in isolation.

👥 You don't need to dive into live trading right away, but partnering with an accountability ally can make all the difference in staying on course.

If you're eager to embark on a transformative experience, I invite you to join the waitlist below. Simply share your responses to the questions, and I'll gain valuable insights into your mindset to tailor our path ahead.

Grand Cup Update

Tourney: Rank 234/6000

Two weeks ago, I entered the Grand Cup competition hosted by Tradeify - a platform that provides ambitious traders with a stage to test their skills publicly.

This isn't a promotion; it's simply to spotlight opportunities available to those ready to embrace the trading challenge.

I've been sharing my daily results, strategically scaling up contract sizes to push up the rankings. Currently holding the 234th rank with over 6000 traders attending - and I'm on track for a guaranteed cash prize should I maintain this standing by Friday's close.

That said, my sights are set higher: advancing to the top 200 is essential to qualify for the finals round, where participants transition to live trading accounts. There, I'll compete against the elite for a shot at the $200,000 1st place prize.

🏆 Stay tuned, fellow traders - follow my updates on X, where I'll continue posting daily progress reports.

Phase 2 Journey

Fellow traders, I'm pleased to report continued momentum on my trading path. I now hold two accounts with Lucid Trading, both advancing through the Phase 2 payout process.

For full transparency, all payout results are documented and shared on my X account - feel free to follow along for real-time insights.

Looking ahead, my primary objective is to further mitigate risk while targeting the $160,500 milestone for Phase 3. This will pave the way to securing a live account, that includes risk management support, more adaptable daily guidelines, and collaboration opportunities with other traders.

The trade simplicity at its best: identifying the clearest trend, with the Russell index providing the ideal setup for today.

A valuable piece of guidance from one of our coaches below highlighted the importance of vigilance during periods when your edge may feel less effective.

Among the key market-impacting headlines I monitored today:

  • WH Sr. Adviser Hassett: We're going to get half the employment report. We will get the jobs part, not unemployment rate for one month because of shutdown.

  • WH Sr. Adviser Hassett: We could get the September jobs report next week, it's already been cooked.

  • IMF: Lack of data has complicated the IMF's ability to assess state of the US economy.

Embrace the journey, my friends - stay disciplined, and I'll see you at the next impulse.
