I’ve spent 15 years now writing for YTC. In this time I’ve come to realise that those who take action are a rare breed of people. Well done if you have. But if not… let’s use the start of the new quarter as a line in the sand. A time to leave behind your mediocrity….
The following post was sent out by YTC Social Media on Tuesday. This is a concept that is SO important. Everyone studies their trades. Primarily their losing trades. I want you to study the environment as well. Both those that prove incredibly challenging AND those that offer incredible opportunity. This post focussed on the latter….
I think this is perhaps one of the most important social media posts I published, way back in 2019. The transition from one month to another provides a tremendous opportunity to pause, reflect and reorient your trading business.

I sent out the following social media post before the market opened on Thursday. The chart sequence was from the day before (Wednesday). But then Thursday happened. Wow! Volatility is well and truly back. So now Thursday shifts to the forefront of my plans for weekend replay. Both days if time… but otherwise Thursday is…
I want to revisit the trades we discussed in last week’s article – Trading with Multiple Forward Projections. I really like this series of trades. Because there is a lesson in trader performance that I think is worth discussing. Something that I would suggest is a sign of good trading. “Wait? What?” I can hear…
In the absence of a curriculum for trader training, and of a mentor who can provide daily guidance, oversight and correction, we are largely left on our own to both chart and navigate our path forward from novice to (hopefully) becoming a professional and consistently profitable trader.
