I could risk $4,000 on one trade tomorrow. I’m not going to. Every time I’ve bumped my size up too fast, I start watching the money more than the chart. So I go up a little at a time, and only after I’ve followed my rules at the smaller size for a while.

I trade the first hour after the market opens. When nothing’s happening, this is what I do so I don’t talk myself into a bad trade: • Stretch • Knock out some push-ups • Close my eyes for a minute • Stay off other charts, since that’s when I miss the trade I’m waiting for • Picture what the trade I’m waiting for would look like from where price is now Sitting still and watching a chart for an hour is hard, so I give my body something to do besides clicking.

They do a lot less. From the outside it kind of looks lazy. A good morning for me can be an hour of watching without taking a single trade. The rest is habits, and they took me years to pick up. The first one is about being right.

Last week I bet the market would go down. It went up first and knocked me out of the trade for a loss. Twenty minutes later, it dropped from almost the exact same price. I had the right idea and got the timing wrong. It still counts as a loss, and it still stings a little.

The stock market closes at 4 PM New York time. But you can still trade it almost all night through something called futures. Some nights it drops a bunch around 11 PM and is right back where it started by breakfast. I always check what happened overnight before I trade in the morning.

Emotions I lose money trading in: • FOMO, the fear of missing out on a move • Greed • Boredom • Wanting to win back yesterday’s loss Emotions I usually feel on my best trades: • Nervous • Doubtful • A little scared of being wrong • Hesitant right up until I click buy or sell It took me years to accept that the second list is where my best trades happen. I used to wait until I felt confident, and by then the move was gone.

The US midterms were last week. The market was jumpy going into them, and I think a lot of that was people not knowing how they'd turn out. The day after, the S&P 500 jumped about 1.6%, its best day in a few months. Uncertainty is behind a lot of selloffs, and once it clears, buyers often come back fast. It doesn't always stick though, and the very next day it dropped hard again.

Things that move the stock market that have nothing to do with how companies are doing: • Money leaving one group of stocks for another • People cashing out after a long run up • Big investors buying when price drops back to its 200-day average, a line a lot of big funds watch • A pile of stop losses, automatic exit orders, getting hit at the same price I stopped trying to match every move to a headline.

All you need is an extra $200/day. That's $48k/year added to your annual salary If you want to make money online in 2027.... I found a simple way to do it using only 1 hour/day. (This strategy has made me $9,000 in 1 month) Here’s exactly what it is (& how to do it):

It’s day trading S&P 500 futures in the first hour after the open. The $200 is an average. I take 1 to 3 trades a week, and some weeks none. I’m wrong close to half the time, so my winners have to be bigger than my losers. If you’ve never touched futures, Step 1 is for you.

Trying something for my next 20 trades. If I see my setup at one of my levels and take it, I get a point. If I hesitate, I lose one. Whether it makes money doesn’t count, and I’m not looking at results until all 20 are done. I’ve been seeing good spots and not taking them lately, so this is me trying to fix that.

Mornings I sit out: • I’m tired • Volume is super low • Price is stuck in the middle • It keeps breaking out and reversing a few minutes later • I already took my shot at the idea, got stopped out, and going again would mostly be me wanting my money back Zero trades on those days is a good day for me.

Scaling in just means getting into a trade in pieces. I put on the first piece when I see my signal. If price pulls back and holds, I add more and move my stop up, which is the price where I get out. If it never pulls back, I stay in with the smaller size and that’s okay.

When I’m in a trade, I hide how much money I’m up or down on my screen. Watching that number jump around every second made me want to get out way too early. Now I watch the chart and check the number after I’m out.

Some mornings I sit down to trade and my head isn’t in it. Maybe I’m tired, maybe something else is on my mind. On those mornings I change a few things: → I trade smaller, so one bad trade doesn’t hurt as much → I take one trade at most → I look at a slower chart so I’m not reacting to every tiny move → Once I set where I’m getting out, I leave it alone → I put on calmer music I’d rather lose a little on an off day than force something.

A trend line connects a few highs or a few lows so you can see which way price is leaning. The tricky part is you can draw like ten of them on the same chart. So I only trust one if price has clearly bounced off it a couple times, and even then I won’t trade off it by itself.

I’m very very strict about where I trade. It has to be one of my levels, after price ran there way too fast. Once it’s there, I’m a lot looser about the exact pattern that gets me in, and it could be a double bottom or a quick fake out. When I was strict about both, I kept missing good trades waiting for the perfect shape.
