3 Fundamentals For A Profitable Trader.

Another week down.

Did you finish strong, or quietly pretend you weren’t disappointed again?

Did you hit your PnL targets?
Did you improve from the week before?

Be honest:

•Did you hit your PnL target
•Did you take the trades you knew you should’ve taken?
•Or did you second-guess, hesitate… and let another week pass you by?

If that stung a little — good.

Because this email might be the one that finally helps next week to go your way.

Let’s fix the foundation. You only need 3 things:

📊 1. Learn to read what the candles are telling you.

You keep staring at charts… but you’re not seeing anything.

Start with the basics:

•A bullish engulfing on $QQQ’s 5-min? Potential reversal.

•A clean Doji after a run-up? Watch for indecision.

Spend 5 minutes a day scanning the 1- 5 min charts.

Treat them like traffic lights — green, yellow, red.

🧠 2. Pre-market = your hidden advantage.

The difference between a sniper and a panic trader?

Preparation.

Before the bell rings:

•Read the news.
•Mark your key levels.
•Anticipate big moves.

8 minutes of pre-market prep = 8 fewer hours of regret.

⚡ 3. Handle volatility — without handling your emotions.

Volatility isn’t the problem. You are.

•You size down too small because you’re scared.
•You skip entries because you don’t trust your gut.
•You miss exits because you’re waiting for “confirmation.”

If you use volume indicators to verify the breakout’s strength.

And set alerts above resistance and below support for breakout trades.

Your odds of a clean entry or exit drastically improve.

It doesn’t matter what tools you use if you don’t trust yourself.

Every early exit, every missed trade, every moment of hesitation?

It’s proof that you don’t believe in your own decisions.

How can you expect to make consistent 4-figure weeks…

When you still doubt yourself every time you hit “buy”?

If you can’t believe, you can’t achieve.

Reflect > Learn > And Be prepared for Monday!

As usual,

Until next time,

Nicholas.
