@ohiain well said! how many years of experience do you have

If you’re a beginner or even a 1 or 2 years in, and you’re not obsessed with drawdown control, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. I used to do the same thinking about upside, targets, “how big this 1 trade could be”… but none of that matters if you can’t stay in the game. The traders who last aren’t the ones calling the biggest moves, they’re the ones who keep losses small when they’re wrong. It's the only business where losses are guaranteed in this game. The only thing you actually control is how much you lose when you’re wrong...and that’s what determines everything long term. Translation: protect your downside or the market will humble you for free.

@PrimeTrading_ sorry, I mean hight water mark.

@AleksMas_ what do you mean? HWM is for drawdown no?

Alex’s PF performance. - April 2026 📑🛡️ MTD ( +21.23% ) YTD ( +2.91% ) YTD benchmark QQQ (+8.83%) Hey guys! Overall, I am very happy with how I traded in April, a nice comeback after 3 rough months to start 2026. If I need a takeaway, and I already knew it, but it simply reinforces it, is to trust my system & process, even if the market is shit and nothing works, when I can catch that market turn decently with size, and be patient to let that exposure do the work for me, that drawdown is behind me in 2-3 weeks and I can already look to push my EC into new ATH. That's how I trade, and whatever I can hear or the criticism I can receive, I've proven time and time again over the last few years that getting size early by following my process and rules of engagement is what gives me super-performance. No more doubting it. I got caught in a few big gap-downs & breakdowns, but the win rate was high at 66%, with a very good 6.4 RRR. I was able to push 75.5R in profits, which proves I let my winners run well, with a 15% avg gain. Time to focus on capturing the best part of that trend for when it lasts. Let's kill May, let's goo! 💪 Cheers, Alex ✌️ • Every entry, exit, and trims are taken in real time in the PrimeTrading Discord community, with educational explanations for all trades. • I share all my trades and monthly trading performance results since January 2020 for transparency.

@BigWaveChartist love that post!

There's no right or wrong way to approach the market. Just different ways. For instance, if one is trying to catch a market turn (which is a perfectly viable approach), you just need to realize that you're going to likely get into a drawdown doing so. Whereas, if you wait for a confirmation of a market turn (which also is a perfectly viable approach) you will miss the turn, miss much of the drawdown, but will have to control any FOMO that results from not catching the turn and needing to buy higher. Both approaches have pros and cons, just good to know them and know yourself as to what you can handle.

@BigWaveChartist well said!

FinTwit is a toxic place. The amount of flexing I see on this app is truly sad. For instance posts that were done months ago reposted to basically say “see, I told you so!”, “this stock is up X% since I made this post”… That just screams of insecurities and a craving for validation on their part.

@optionspreader Do you think the silver examples qualify as a parabolic top?

Lots of conspiracy theories floating around regarding the Silver price drop on Friday. Although large, it is only back down to where it was just two weeks ago. Elevator up and then elevator back down is how it can go when the trade is emotionally driven (FOMO, Greed, Fear, Panic)

@TradeBrigadeCo price action is right

Who's right? Ray or Jim?
