“Take your losses quickly and your profits slowly because your objective is not just to be right but to make big money when you are right” – Bill O’Neil

I Promise You... This Model Is All You Need To Win At Trading 👑 1) Wait for a main liquidity sweep inside the NY AM kill zone (9:30 - 11:00am EST) 2) Find first IFVG and enter on a candle closure 3) Target opposing liquidity I do this every single day...

Once the money is made, the scoreboard changes. Health becomes your real wealth, relationships your true anchor, freedom your daily luxury, and legacy your lasting mark. Don’t reach the number only to lose what actually matters.

You are so close to profitability, you don't even know. You just need to accept your fucking losses.

WEAKENING LOWS = A REVERSAL IS COMING Here's how you can spot this setup & trade it effectively:

The end game isn’t a bigger account. It’s waking up healthy, surrounded by real people, with freedom to live intentionally and a legacy that helps others. Chase the money hard but protect what actually matters once it arrives.

OLIVER’S 10 TRADING PRINCIPLES 1. PUT RISK FIRST Never give a stock more than a 3–5% stop loss. Always know your maximum loss prior to entering a trade. Make it a priority to protect your principal capital. 2. IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU ARE PLANNING TO FAIL Take your ideas and rehearse your trading strategy. 3. DON’T TRUST YOUR STOCKS, TRUST YOUR STOPS Always use a stop loss. Move it higher as the stock moves higher and never let a winner turn into a loser. 4. IT’S BETTER TO BE OUT AND WANT IN, THAN IN AND WANT OUT No FOMO. If you miss a trade, let it go. There will always be another opportunity. 5. LET YOUR PNL GUIDE YOUR LEVEL OF AGGRESSION Use progressive exposure to prevent drawdowns. When you are making progress, be more aggressive. When you are losing, lower your size continuously until you get back on track. 6. ONLY PRICE PAYS You will have many stock ideas but they will not all prove to be actionable. Make sure the price action confirms a buy area or pass on the trade. If you make a mistake (it’s unavoidable) exit the trade. 7. SELL INTO STRENGTH OR YOU WILL SELL INTO WEAKNESS As a stock gets further into its move, especially when it gets extended from its 10‑week moving average, it is more likely to sell off or build a new base. 8. FROM FAILED MOVES COME FAST MOVES Sell a stock quickly should it reverse after triggering a buy area. 9. DON’T GAMBLE ON EARNINGS Reduce your position size and understand that the reaction to earnings is out of your hands. As a swing trader, check earnings dates and have a strategy for how you want to handle earnings for each of your positions. 10. NEVER BUY EXTENDED STOCKS Always try to buy a stock as close to the buy area as possible and never chase a stock well beyond the buy area.

A few key decisions early in my trading career and my financial life completely changed for the better in just a few years. 1. No big losses 2. No averaging down 3. No chasing extended stocks 4. No giving back decent profits 5. Always get odds on my money

When I started trading, I thought I had to put everything into the “perfect” stock. My first big win felt amazing—but the next trade wiped out half my gains in minutes. I was devastated. Then a mentor told me something that changed everything: "It’s not about how much you can make on one trade—it’s about how much you can survive to trade another day.” I started risking only 1–2% of my account per trade. I calculated my stops carefully and let my winners run, while cutting losers quickly. Slowly, my account grew steadily. No more heart-stopping moments, no more sleepless nights over one trade. The lesson? Position sizing is your armor in the market. It keeps you alive, sane, and able to capitalize on opportunity after opportunity.

If the market taught you a lesson that you haven’t yet incorporated in your trading. Don’t worry. It will keep teaching you until you do.

People who’s waiting for an altseason. Learn to let go and accept losses. This was one of the hardest lessons I learned in my 4 years in crypto. It all started when I first got some liquidity and went full top buyer on altcoins back in 2021 Cardano at $2, MATIC $1.8, VET $0.1, SOL $170 and the list goes on I told myself, “they’ll bounce back next cycle, right?” More adoption, more users, governments coming in, they’ll buy my tokens, right? Wrong. Most altcoins will never return to their all time highs. Same with the NFT collections collecting dust in my wallet. My stupid pride made me believe I was holding with “conviction.” But I was just watching them bleed week after week. If I had sold or rotated earlier, I’d have saved a lot of pain. Learning to sell at a loss still hurts, but it saves you from bigger ones. If you’re still waiting for an altcoin season to revive your bags I’ve got bad news, brother.

William O’Neil on Risk Management 1. Cut Losses at 7-8%: Set a firm rule to sell any stock if it falls 7-8% below the purchase price or 3-4% in bear markets 2. Avoid Averaging Down: Do not add to a losing position as it continues to decline. Instead, focus on strong stocks with upward momentum, as averaging down often increases losses 3. Take Small Losses Quickly: Small losses is “cheap insurance.” This approach preserves capital for future opportunities and prevents emotional decision-making when losses mount 4. Profit Slowly but Lose Quickly: Hold onto winning stocks with strength, but always cut losses immediately. This approach allows the potential for significant gains while ensuring limited downside on any position

You should not be wasting weeks trying to pass an eval Ever since I started fullporting my evals my profits have went up exponentially All of the big names in the prop space do this and that's how they are able to scale so quickly Time is money and I'd rather blow 2-3 more evals then spend weeks on 1 trying to pass it Prop trading is an ROI game, how much money you are spending vs how much money you are taking out I know my edge is solid and I have a very good chance of getting a payout if im on funded so why would I waste 2-3 weeks taking it slow on an eval account? The only time I actually recommend taking it slow is you are a beginner, then it's acceptable to treat it like a funded to build confidence and conviction Besides that fullporting is the way to go

You’ll stop having big losses when you start cutting losing trades the moment your stop loss is triggered.

If you keep breaching evals, read this: That $100K account size? Not your risk budget. Sizing off it is how you breach in three trades and then blame the market. Your real budget is the drawdown. $6K of room, expecting 10 losers in a rough stretch? That's $600 a trade. Done. Now a losing streak is a Tuesday, not a funeral. Size off what can end your run, not the number that makes you feel good.

A handful of decisions early in my trading journey changed my entire financial future. Not because they made me more aggressive. Because they made me more disciplined. I stopped taking big losses. I stopped averaging down on bad positions. I stopped chasing stocks after they had already made their move. I stopped giving back hard-earned profits. And I only risked money when the odds were clearly on my side. Looking back, none of these were complicated. But they forced me to think differently from the crowd. The biggest breakthroughs in trading rarely come from what you start doing. They come from what you stop doing.
