Traders need to become best friends with the power of compounding. It is why #Daytrading scales faster than most other businesses

Heres is how I compound gains:
The Power of 1%

1% a Day doubles your trading account every 70 days.

That turns 10k into about 80k year one and then 80k into half a million dollars.

If you outperform that by just a little bit you can become a millionaire in less than two years
Walk Away When You Are Green

Green days have more value than having another winning trade. You can't give away the hard-earned money you've made.

Green Days turn into green weeks. Green weeks turn into green months. Green Months turn into green years.

Green Years = freedom
Only Losers Add to Losers

Making one bad mistake in a trade is costly. Making Two is lethal. Never compound mistakes in trading

Instead, compound positive habits for outsized gains

Study your trades, improve your process, and then the money will flow
Losses Can't Escalate

Compounding only works if mistakes don't crush my account

when I lose I never lose more than 1% of my account per trade

when I let mistakes escalate I cheat myself of future gains

Always cut your losers and hunt for better risk-reward
Turn Trading into a numbers game

Becoming a profitable trader is a simple equation if you keep your losses consistent

its (win rate % X risk-reward) X 1000s of trades

Nothing works all the time. Every system requires room for variance and human error.
Compounding is the Key

In review:

1. 1% a Day can change your life
2. Walk away when you're green
3. Never compound mistakes
4. Keep losses consistent
5. Figure out your profit formula

Traders must treat #trading like a business. It isn't a lottery ticket that will just hand you money.

Trading is a job, and it requires you to treat it like one.

Here are 5 Ways to Grow your Trading Business
1. Quality Matters

It isn't about the quantity of work. Successful trading is about the quality of the work

Only trade your A+ setups and accept nothing less. Nothing else

Every time you compromise you cheat yourself of future gains
2. Study the Facts

Track your performance and study your trades

Journal all your trades. Update your journal as the trade is going on with how you felt and why

Study your journal and keep refining until you find what you are best at. Then focus on trading and improving that

9 Trading Hacks that will help you become a profitable trader sooner:
1. Trade Highly Correlated Names😎

Highly correlated names will get similar setups at similar times.

Filter for the strongest setup with the best volume profile.

Make your plan and execute ruthlessly
2. Its called PAYtience

I only need 1 trade to hit my daily target.

Id rather sit and wait for the perfect setup instead of chasing the first setup📐

The longer I've traded the more selective I have become

I’ve been #daytrading for almost a decade now. Between trading for a hedge fund and managing my own money It has been the only way I have made a living since I graduated from Law School.

Here are 10 things I wish I knew when I started out my #trading career.
1. Mindset Matters 🧠

All the top traders I’ve met have been super optimistic and filled with self belief.

Their work ethic makes their success inevitable but they never behave like the market owes them that success immediately.
2. Every trader loses

No #daytrader has a 90% + win rate with zero drawdown. If they tell you that then they are bull shitting you. Run🏃

Elite traders have a win rate in the 70s.

It’s not about how often you win, it’s about how you protect yourself when you don’t

I’ve been #daytrading for almost 9 years now. It has been the only way I have made a living since I graduated from Law School.

Here are 9 things I wish I knew when I started out my career.
1. Mindset Matters

All the good traders I’ve met have been super optimistic and filled with self belief.

Their work ethic makes their success inevitable but they never behave like the market owes them that success today.
2. Every trader loses

No day trader has a 90% + win rate. If they tell you that then they are bull shitting you. Run
