Time to do a little bit of manipulation. There, We go there. We go here, we go. I'm surprised I haven't been margin called yet.

So dumb of me. even if it goes my way. I need to get out of one I'm carrying too much leverage I'm being too much of a douchebag I'm being too greedy I'm chasing even if this works out for me, it was a bad trade. Is this magnet time? Time to do a little bit of manipulation.

There, We go there. We go here. We go there. We go there.

We go. grow that grow that I have two I'm trying to dump one at Uh 52. I'm in at 63 trying to dump one at 52. hit it, order fill.

Hell yeah. That's how you do it Team best. Trader on this side of the Mississippi Okay, I know I fuck around a lot I Think this is important though. Uh, if you are a day trader who's a degenerate and you're using too much size, what just happened even though I made money I Want everyone to understand it was a bad trade.

There is a very, very big difference between a good trade and a bad trade and it's not necessarily correlated with making money and not making money I Just made money on a bad trade. This is actually worse than losing money on a good trade because it enforces bad habits. So right here with our you consciously know it or not, the next time a scenario like this comes around where I should cut more rapidly. now, a little part of my brain is going to be like, well, you held last time and it ended up working out.

So I know I fuck off a lot. I know I'm playing music, but if you truly care, care about investing, swing, trading day trading. that type of a thing. Everything that just played out is a lesson of what you should not do.

like I I guess I don't know another way to articulate it. but literally, the way everything went. in terms of my entry, my risk management and everything in between was poor. That was a bad trade that sometimes there's Randomness and luck involved.

And in terms of this situation, Lady Luck was on my side. That's all it was that wasn't good. that wasn't skillful. I Over bet I was awkwardly timed.

In the trade there was I I Can't name a good thing about it. like it was just pure luck. So if you find yourself in situations like that as I do right now, you have to, in your mind, be able to break down. Did you actually have a good trade that made you money? Or did you only make money? And it actually was a bad trade? Because if you continually do the latter, making money off of a bad trade, it's only a matter of time before you truly fully blow up your account.

Nine out of ten, you might hit those lucky trades that you shouldn't be involved with. you're over leverage, but that 10th one? it's only a matter of time. it's a ticking Time Bomb until it blows up in your face. So this is even going further in my direction right now.

Once again, lucky. But that's what it is. and if you want your career here within the markets to be a marathon, you can't Bank unlocked because you're not going to be lucky 100 of the time. It's just one of those things that it was poor.

Capital Management I could have blown up my account like uh I I Find this so important to mention to all of you right now because it truly was absurd. Luck like in another given day. I could have done the exact same thing and my account would be at zero nine bead margin called right now and I would have blown up another account. Uh, so just wanted to share that.
