Weekly Recap - Week 23 +6.91% for the week. Started off really slow, just could not get anything going. My setups were either getting front ran, invalidated or stopped. I managed risk really really well though, and did not fall into any sort of mental tilt. This kept me in a small, controlled DD. Then on Friday I entered a short on Monad which turned into an almost 10R realised trade and that was the week. Really shows how super high winrate isn't necessary as long as risk is managed well. Though I still need to work on eliminating some of the unnecessary trades being taken. 5 out of last 6 weeks have been positive. Really encouraging, but still A LOT of space for improvement. Have a great week ahead everyone.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says he has an "obligation" to ensure the crypto industry does well.

Weekly Recap - Week 22 Decided to keep recapping weekly as it does help with accountability and consistency. Luckily now I have my own journal with objective metrics which will be easy to share. Generally, a good week that could have been a great one had I not overtraded. Noticed a pattern in me that once I start doing well, I become a lot more trigger happy and enter immature setups. It's not only about learning to stop losing, it's also about learning to win. On the positive side, my risk management and 'stick-to-the-plan' type of execution was really solid this week. Kept my L's small and wins both, small and big. Something I want to keep exercising moving forward. Coupled with better selection of setups, it should provide a big bump in performance. Overall, I've been logging my trades in this custom journal since the 13th of March. PnL looks nice, mostly due to the fact that I've been positioned alongside Trump before his 'talks' on 2 occasions, but still a lot of mistakes were made and the result could have been quite a lot better.

Quarterly recap - Q1 Hey everyone, how things been. Haven't been active on X as of late, but I am still showing up every day trading and trying to master the craft. Since the title of my X says "... where I hold myself accountable", I will continue doing so publicly - I just don't know what the interval of these updates is going to be moving forward - weekly, monthly, etc. We'll see. Anyhow, back to the topic. This Q really boosted my belief that I actually can turn into a consistently profitable trader. I've learnt a bunch, I made a million mistakes, but bottom line is that I produced a positive PnL curve for the 1st Q of the year (including spot, futures, options, everything). Can't be arsed to hide the Y axis (USD value) - feel free to make fun of the small size I am playing with, but just remember that I am not willing to increase my position sizing before data clearly shows that I actually can win. Which is now starting to look something like it. In the past 3 months, I've also had way less moments of despair where the mission of becoming a good trader feels impossible. Big improvement over the vast majority of 2025. 😃 Besides that, I built my own trading journal which actually is really fun to use (maybe cause it's my own haha) and so moving forward I'll be able to share actual PnL curves and stats derived from it rather than simply typing results in a post. That way data will be more trustworthy :) My biggest areas for improvement in Q2 are: - Improved setup selection. I still sometimes force unnecessary plays; - Strict consistency in risk management. I've set myself a goal to not lose more than 1% on a single futures / options trade in April. Just to exercise that disciplined execution. As for Q2 goals, besides the obvious one, which is trying to maintain the upwards trajectory of my journey, I will aim to... - Pass at least 1 decent propfirm challenge (at least $50k) to really start scaling my personal capital That's all I had to share for now. Hope everyone is doing well and lastly, Happy Easter🐔

Weekly Recap - Week 16 +1.58% for the week. This was a very similar week to the last one. The only difference was me sticking to last weeks' takeaways and managing my risk / positions much better. As a result, I took a few small, calculated losses, a few stops at BE and then a couple of decent winners - things I've been talking about last time - and this was enough to put me in the green for the week, which wasn't the case last time. Image of a GBPUSD short I executed gives a good picture - I took a small loss before capitalising on the move down fairly well. I'm not focusing on the outcome and definitely not forcing anything just to have a positive week. But to me, these 14 days really illustrated the point of strict, consistent RM. As for setup selection, I've spent a decent amount of time backtesting again. It's like putting in more reps at the gym. I strongly recommend anyone suffering from the itch to do something (since we're conditioned to believe that the only type of work is active work), which in trading environment equals to forcing unnecessary trades, to use and abuse fxreplay in times of boredom where no quality setups present themselves. It really scratches that itch well, helps you practice reading PA & managing trades, and the best part of it all is that your active / prop accounts remain safe from being sabotaged by boredom. Overall: +8.96% since starting weekly recaps.
