Less Trading, More Preparation Now don't get me wrong - "Less is More" doesn't mean being lazy or checked out. I'm still putting in the work. I'm watching what's working and what isn't. Looking for early themes developing in the market. Studying sector rotations. Building my watchlists. But I'm not pulling the trigger on everything I see. There's a massive difference between preparation and execution, and most traders blur that line when they come back from breaks. Your Action Plan I came back with one position: LMND call debit spread for 1/16. One trade. Not ten. Not five. One. That's intentional. When you focus on fewer trades, you actually analyze what you're getting into instead of spreading capital thin and juggling chaos. I'd rather nail three high-conviction plays this month than scatter-shot fifteen mediocre ones. Think of this like a long race, and we're just about to get the starting gun. I can't win the race on day one, but I can certainly break a leg at the start and put myself way behind for the rest of the race. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE YOUR PROFITS FOR THE YEAR THIS WEEK OR EVEN THIS MONTH. I know that hits different when you're staring at charts on January 6th, feeling like you need to immediately start crushing it. But there are going to be tons of great opportunities this year. We aren't going to hit them all right away, so relax and settle in. The traders who make real money this year? They'll be the ones who started slow and let their edge compound over time. The traders who blow up? They'll be the ones who tried to win the first week. Less really is more. And in 2026, more discipline in January means more profit in December. Let's build this right from the foundation up. |
