Hey invest Fam! I posted a bit ago in celebrations when I passed my first 50k EA. Well… I passed another the next day, ripped some success, and then watched my wings melt as I did my best Icarus straight to crashing both… Well after a few weeks of scrutinizing review and practice, I was ready to go for the next round on Thursday with completely re-formed strategy that ended 3 accounts today where you see them in the screenshot. I’ve got so much more to learn, but here’s a couple things that I hope can turn my mistakes into your lessons. 1. Be careful of high profit targets on a $2,500 drawdown. If you’re above 3:1 in an EA, trail it before it accidentally eats 30% or more of your drawdown in one trade -no, I am not saying big ratios are bad! Increasing your reward is one of the best things and one of my biggest improvements. However, if you’re in an EA, the drawdown does not grow. Let’s say you’re risking $200 and shooting for a 5:1 ($1000 profit). Your trade pushes to 4.5 before reversing and slamming your stop. Well that 2500 drawdown was increasing with that trade. So will be down your $200 loss plus the $900 profit you had at one point. From $2500 to $1400 drawdown in one trade (plus commission if the 1400 wasn’t bad enough : P). Pretty brutal huh? On this run my average risk ratio was 6:1, but if I was above 50% of my profit target, I put in a trail-stop or trailed manually to protect my drawdown. This was pretty crucial for me. 2. Trust yourself!!! -Yes, self confidence is important, but there’s a lot of need beyond that. I have watched myself lose as much if not more from over-caution and self doubt than I have from being too aggressive. Closing trades that would have hit profit no problem, being too scared to place the better trade, then following it up with a bad setup because of fomo. It’s a messy cycle. Yes, I messed up from over aggressive trading, but that was actually a poor response from the backlash I was feeling from letting fear change my decision making process.

Hey guys, I just purchased my first 3 evals so I can set them up and start as soon as I am ready...Maybe Monday but I like for ducks to walk in a row...lol. My next duck is called "Copier" From what I see....this is a program I need to purchase? If so then I assume it hooks up nicely to Tadavate which I have connected to my tradeview already. Are there any bullet points anyone can give me that you recognized as something you think I should know? Such thins as setting to make sure I can trade? I heard someone say they had to put their account in demo to get it to work but do you do that on the tradavate or the tradeview and where are the buttons...lol. thanks in advance 😀 So her is a quick look at why you need the copier if you have more than 1 account.. https://support.atf.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408811644059-Why-Would-I-Want-to-Trade-Multiple-Evaluation-Accounts-Master-Course Remember the master course you were suppose to go through on Apex? yep, thats where I get some of the best info...lol

Today Kyle shared his time with us to review the last week of market activity. He shared the Jedi and Superman models. Even taking the time to walk through the price action from Friday on the one minute chart. Marking up the zones as he went and targeting 2:1 he demonstrated that you can be very successful without making things complicated. I've been working on becoming successful at trading for a long time. I've tried everything from moving averages to multiple indicators. When you are using all of that you are just creating noise on your chart to confuse you and create a super complicated analysis model. That is when analysis paralysis sets in. Clear your chart of the noise and just pause. Stop trading and just absorb the information available here. Dedicate yourself to not complicate anything for six months. Allow yourself to become consistent with this method and don't allow too much analysis to cloud your mind. Focus on the big three things. Are you correctly identifying the zones? Are you entering appropriately based on that analysis? Are you profitable consistently? Practice, practice, practice until you can answer those three things consistently with yes. Then scale like Kyle describes in his course and start treating this like a business. You will be shocked by how quickly you can attain the freedom we are all striving for if you'll just slow down and master the fundamentals without making it complicated. I struggle with this too, and this is what I am working on. When I get there, @Glenn Ingraham and I are going to meet somewhere and just have a huge banquet with lots of really good food. Let's get serious about keeping it simple, and we will all arrive at the destination we seek.

Hey InvestCEO fam here's the bad news: I can't do the Fast Track session tonight. I know I know, but it can't be helped. BUT...I have good news too. I'll be doing an encore of "The Boardroom" session you got to experience last Saturday! The feedback you guys gave on that was pretty tremendous so I want to double down and review another week of trading with you, along with my private students. This time it will even be more beginner friendly. I'll be covering timeframes that you're a little more accustomed to. I'd highly encourage you to attend as this isn't a normal weekly occurrence. Just like before, the meeting will be at 9:30am this coming Saturday November 2nd. You can find the zoom link on your "Calendar" tab in Skool. Let's learn and grow together! Kyle

Here's the recording from Saturday. Lots of little nuggets for you to learn from 💰
