Yes, remember to always take profit, I have this strategy where I can make over 1 million dollar a year with $1000 if I can make 2% of my total portfolio daily, that’s why I always remind myself to always take profit, what’s yours is yours.

My best trade ever was NVDA before the split, I made 78k in 4 hours, toke over 14 trades and I didn’t lose not even one of them. Not the most money I’ve ever made in a trade, but it was the most consistent day. My worst trade ever was a tesla trade where I lost 30k by taking a trade I should have never taken, again not the most I’ve lost in a day, but it was the lack of discipline.
