Hello, my friend!

It’s a fresh week, and I hope you were able to catch the stream with Purdia on NFP day.

⚡ Volatility sat at an all-time low during that particular impulse, so we shifted focus to the other impulses that catch most traders off guard - especially FOMO and oversizing when the environment feels uncertain.

☀️ The core message remains the same… keep your mind balanced and never let emotions spike too high before or during a trade idea.

📈 This week’s checklist centers on live-journaling your mindset reset.

We’re still working within the higher-to-lower time frame framework (this month’s theme and the exact structure I use in my own setups).

As you answer the daily questions, use them to stay locked into both your trading plan and your mental state.

Think of it as a practical self-reminder - because we’re human, and it’s easy to drift.

Stay committed and protect yourself from those emotional triggers.
