Episode notes
Crash, Pause, And The $25K Comeback
- Tommy lost nearly his entire account by going all-in on Intel calls that expired after a negative jobs report.
- He rebuilt later by spotting a repeated chat-room pattern and made $25,000 in four minutes from one meticulous OTC pick.
Track Trades To Find What Works
- Track every trade in a journal or spreadsheet and sort winners vs losers to find patterns.
- Stop doing trades that consistently lose for you and double down on what your data shows works.

- If you feel emotional while trading, step away and do something physical like yard work until you're calm.
- Walking away is better than making emotional trades that can cause big losses.
