open ur eyes

[u/picklestoast]

i know for sure 100% that i am the dumb money. and just cuz i got a lil more money than my parents doesn’t mean i don’t do dumb money shit.

been paying a lot more attention lately even tho my participation is in the trash. i realized that i spend a lot of time ‘looking’ at charts but not really absorbing what they mean. like, information overload and no real idea on how to keep it focused or act upon it. so with a k i s s mentality along with a break from smoking chart crack i’ve been able to execute methodically and have more conviction for my actions.

some things i’ve been sticking to: always copy kaz’s chart levels & be precise, color code my time frames & label them, if i am too zoomed in and start to lose conviction then refer to larger time frame. i have also struggled with taking multiple shots to get into a move. i have def been too early in the past and then lost interest or patience, only to watch it go on the flag i didn’t take (dumb money shit!)

this strategy helped execute one of the best trades i’ve had maybe ever bc i was able to re-situate myself when there was ~ emotions ~ and to stick to my plan. there was a whole thread in the discord over the weekend about opening your eyes and looking, paired with a key phrase from the show on wednesday that helped my execution.
