Probably one of my worst trading stents in awhile, not afraid to admit it. A few things saved me along the way: 1) Going flat before the mass 10/10 liquidation occurred. I simply didn't trust Trump. Was it lucky? Yes, but I will take luck any day and trusting my gut when the news of Tarrifs with China hit. The news hit hours before the largest liquidation in history happened. Account would have been completely gone had I not done this. 2) Sizing down. After pulling profits off the exchange at the end of October and using a smaller account balance, this has been somewhat of a savior. Has it been one of my worst trading stents in awhile? Yes. But the losses have still be minimal compared to what they could have been. Sizing down into November was a great decision. Some could say its luck but it was also a bit of intuition as well seeing how environment and sentiment started to go down hill. I share my journey with you guys because it's the right thing to do. Everything is time stamped in my VIP Telegram for members to see progression along the way. A journal that is open to anyone who wants to follow my journey. One thing I know from being in markets the past 9 years, is that things wont always work in your favor. Trading performance won't always be great but its about managing those times of inefficiency. I have always been okay with taking losses as a trader and have never been afraid to admit to them. I will take my more in the future as well. You cannot let these times define you. It sucks, but you can't feel sorry for yourself at any moment. It's apart of this game and this game is something I am very grateful for. It's never been easy but I have also never given up. We fight one. No matter what. I do see better days ahead for this industry and although my trading performance hasn't been the best the past month, I know a bounce back is coming, like it always has. We fight on each day lads 🫡. - Castillo
