Today, I'm sharing a story that began years ago, almost a decade. I've always been more interested in understanding than earning. I knew that money comes with good skills in any discipline.
I found gurus, finfluencers, and single trainers. I'm not judging them; they might teach strategies or anomalies that work, but they often don't explain the "why."
Then I discovered Futex and a guy named Brannegan Barrett. After some research and watching countless YouTube videos of him, I found Axia Futures and there he was again,
.By the way, this isn't paid content. It's just a real-life experience.
They could explain the "why," and Brannegan, in particular, resonated with me. In September 2022, I started the professional education with Axia and a virtual Brannegan Barrett. The Career Program provides a broad overview of trading and why. The EDGE courses deepen your knowledge in your desired discipline and can save you a significant amount of screen time. But Brannegan taught me something else, something I've been doing in my professional life for years: to be successful, it's helpful and important to live the lifestyle. In trading, this means focusing on yourself, how you process information, how you learn, and how you use information.
Nine months ago, I became a customer of Tradelo, his product for professional risk management. I highly recommend it; it eliminates a lot of decisions and screen time.
I found others who did the journey already like
and others.On Friday the 13th, I had a happy day, a day I thought would never happen. We've met virtually, but had a one-on-one meeting.
To be honest, we didn't discuss any detailed questions I had. It was a first meeting to get to know each other and start some sort of mentoring.
But it meant a lot to me. Everything I showed him received a positive reaction. After two years, I now have proof that I'm on the right path, and that changes everything and nothing. But it changes how I see myself and the market, how I believe in my thoughts, and ultimately, how I execute.
Missing feedback is one of the biggest hurdles when learning professional trading from home. I knew that from the beginning, so I applied for a desk at AXIA to rent, which didn't happen, but you never know what the future holds.
Now you might ask, "What did you agree on?" I won't continue to implement the schedule I was talking about a few weeks back, Monday training day and Friday try day. I'll only trade the IB and do three trades a day.
By doing this, I'll memorize every possible reaction at the IB and become a "level 3 expert" for the IB. I was planning to do this anyway, but after I finished my process/framework. Because again, without feedback, you don't know how deep or far you need to take something before moving on to the next stage.
Now that I have feedback, I'm doing it, and if I haven't betrayed myself, it might be bumpy, but after these four weeks, I've memorized and executed the first scenario.
So you can expect a weekly summary of the trades here.
With these words, I'll let you go to prepare for the day.
