@KrisVerma88 thank god u got out man😭

Got $WOK'ed with the most brutal reclaim in small cap history.

J Think it’s just the slow April mentality holding you back! Your in save money mode not get money mode

I know I will get ATH month here soon and I'll only contunie to grow my account and grow personally as a trader. It's just a weird minor mental state I'm currently in. Anyone else experience this? Still green and moving forward but feel stagnant / almost degressing?

C Experiencing a new mental/technical 'rut' persay that I haven't felt since profitability. I'm still green over last 2 months, and actaully have made good money, but it's seriously lacking. There's opportunities and a cant capitalize properly, my L's are just as big if not-

@EvilShorting what are you looking for ??? .00001$ for profit ?

Pure pain, a record day turned red, withdrew everything and left a few bucks in the account, not sure how i am gonna continue. $WOK $NTCL

@EvilShorting this is what greed looks like if ive ever seen it haha

How’d everyones tax season go? April always slow for us

@Stefan_Trades great trading brother! Great read of ur mental state and insane comeback! A vacation is needed sometimes, hope u are good and had fun!

This last period was probably the most valuable drawdown I’ve had. I went down -100k, and honestly, it had very little to do with my strategy. It started with fatigue and frustration. I missed some big opportunities early, and instead of accepting it, I carried that frustration into the next trades. At the same time, I stopped respecting my stops and let trades go way further against me than they should. From there, it slowly turned into something deeper. Old habits came back: - Wishing and hoping for trades to come back - Holding losers longer than I should - Forcing trades with unrealistic expectations That “gambling state” is always there in the background, but fatigue made it much harder to control. If you look at the drawdown curve, you can actually see it: Around -50k I was already in a bad mental state. Then I had one big winning trade (WNW) that brought me back a bit - but it didn’t fix anything. Right after that, I went straight back to trading poorly. That was probably the most important realization: One good trade doesn’t fix bad trading. At the bottom, I knew I had to stop… but I couldn’t. It honestly felt like not being able to walk away from a casino. That’s where having someone external (Jared) helped a lot. He basically told me to stop trading. I already knew it… but in that state, i could not pull myself away from trading. I ended up taking a full week off and going on vacation: - No charts - No trading discussions - Removed everything trading-related from my phone Just a complete reset and fully disconnecting from trading. That changed everything. When I came back: - I felt in control again - Expectations were reset - I was satisfied with smaller wins - Focused on execution instead of PnL With some good market momentum, I recovered the losses in ~1–2 weeks. But I know for a fact: That recovery wouldn’t have happened without the break. In that previous state, I would’ve found a way to mess up even the cleanest setups. The most valuable part of this drawdown: It didn’t just show emotional mistakes - it exposed a major structural leak in my trading. There was a part of my strategy/edge that was quietly costing me ~50k per month in slow bleed, but it wasn’t obvious before because it happened gradually. This drawdown made it impossible to ignore. Because the pain was so big, I was forced to really look at it, break it down, and fix it. That played a big role in the recovery as well — not just mentally resetting, but also removing something that was consistently dragging my performance down. Main focus going forward: - Manage energy better (sleep, less screen time after trading) - Reduce obsession (less constant chart watching / talking trading all day) - Catch the warning signs earlier - Step away before it compounds into a full drawdown This was a tough period, but probably one of the most important ones for my long-term consistency.

C April 2025 was the worst month I've had since profitability ($1.2k+). Looks like Aprils are my arch nemesis as I cannot make a dollar April 2026. 2026 has not been nearly as hot as the start of 2025. Size is up, so money is coming in but a hot market would fill my pockets rn.

J how’s the market treating everyone, this month is SO boring

Nooopee last two weeks have been the worst

C Literally worst 1 week market I've ever seen since profitable. Surprised as it's a winter month, usually those are a lot hotter. But wow this is bad

@EsBoltoise get this guy a job on Jane ST NOW

@LoneWolfeTrader Slow guy says. This month was so dogshit to make that much is amazing 😭

February Pnl +$86k. Ytd +$62k. Slow but very easy month compared to the chaos of the last two. Not much action but almost no 🦢s. Discretionary loaded $QVCGA July puts for a bankruptcy play.

@I_Must_Succeed If this is live I would say you just threw everything you did over the last 7 months out the window for no reason.

Feb 2026 Recap (red month) for Gold/Crypto trading: -$13.9K

@gstrades Definetly size down brother! Slower last two months for sure Have to wait for opportunities to arise and have to remember a good trader isn’t the one who wins best it’s the one who loses the best!!

Another red day, another day in DD… after a great 2025 multiplying account by 40x I now am 99% sure I will quit. Long story short, I seem to not have edge anymore, so should at least quit while I’m still ahead for the moment. Toughest of times. -65% from highs. Just being transparent as always.

Imagine letting another man "fill" you. This is why I exclusively market buy.

Let me just RUIN MY CREDIBILITY Publicly for no reason then say sike and promote my trading journal and discord He doesn’t even show proof in his video that he’s profitable I could 100% see major lawsuits coming in

To me even if he is profitable and it was a marketing ploy You have destroyed ALL TRUST in you as a person you can’t say “I know who my real friends are, they forgave me and still follow my discord” After posting YOURSELF something that should carry prison time

J The futures scandal with Justin Werlein is the worth marketing event I’ve most likely ever seen You come out stating zero profitability after 5 years? After charging 4k for master class and 160 a month discord? I understand coming to God and coming clean I applaud him
