Yesterday, Mark made us 20% on a stock I’d never even heard of.
While I was Googling “what the hell is NBIS…”
He was already counting profits.
That’s the partnership nobody talks about.
Mark finds the plays. I execute them. Together, we make money neither of us could alone.
Most traders think they need to be experts at everything – research, execution, psychology, risk management.
That’s why they fail.

Most traders wing it month to month. I set projections like a hedge fund: 14 trades, 10 wins, 2 breakevens, 2 losses for January. Here’s why that changes everything.

I don’t think traders get emotional.
I mean, are people really sitting there crying over their screens? Getting all worked up because a trade went against them?
That’s not what I see.
What I see is uncertainty. Traders get confused. They get locked up. They don’t know when to buy, when to sell, or why they’re making or losing money.
Emotion implies you’re reacting. But most traders aren’t reacting — they’re just fucking lost.

Mark was supposed to be here yesterday.
He wasn’t.
So I ran the trading room from Vail.
Broken tooth. Altitude sniffles. The works.
And I couldn’t stop apologizing for not being him.
