September Kicks Off with Big Trades and Bigger Lessons

Dear Traders,

Trading in September has been amazing. Today, we had a really great trade on HOOD (Robinhood) live in the chatroom. One of the most important things new traders need to learn is how to find stocks in play and what we look for in the pre-market to spot them.

HOOD was a perfect example. The big news was that it’s been added to the S&P 500, which caused a huge gap-up on the last trading day. This morning, it traded above VWAP, and I caught a really nice Opening Range Breakout. I added my 9/20 strategy, which I explain in my new book “TradeBook: How to Build a Complete Day Trading System“, and the trade turned into a very significant profit of over $27,000.

Live in the chatroom and on YouTube, sharing my HOOD trade and walking through the process step by step. It’s not just about the P&L, it’s about showing the strategy in action.

It was an amazing trading day, and we’ll be recapping everything in the chatroom and on YouTube. If you want to see exactly how we’re making these trades, join us live in the chatroom and make sure you’re following us on YouTube. I’ll also be posting a new recap over the next couple of days that goes deeper into how these trades worked out.

Chatroom moment: A member shared their share size saying that it´s not making big money. I explained that what really matters is not P&L, but proper risk management. That’s the foundation of long-term success in trading.

In the chatroom, some members asked about my share size after I made $27,000 today. My account is large, around $9 million, so yes, I take big positions.

But here’s the truth: it really doesn’t matter how many shares I trade.

Every trader is different. Your account size, your risk tolerance, and your personal goals all shape the right share size for you.

What matters is not copying someone else, but building your own process.

Focus on managing risk, sticking to your strategy, and making sure your system has a positive expectancy.

Over time, as you grow and gain confidence, you can adjust your share size based on your own results and comfort level.

That’s the real path to long-term success.

For all the new traders joining our community, here’s what our weekly education schedule looks like:

  • Mondays: Onboarding session at 8 p.m. with Carlos, where he covers the basics of starting your trading journey, tools, technology, and strategy.
  • Tuesdays: Strategy Webinar, where we break down the setups and techniques you’ll actually be trading.
  • Wednesdays: Psychology Webinar with performance coaches, psychologists, and senior traders to help you master the mental side of trading.
  • Thursdays: Mentorship sessions, including specialized groups for options trading, reading order flow, using Bookmap, and more.

Here’s what we have lined up in the webinars this week:

On Tuesday, Thor will walk us through how markets really work, breaking down supply, demand, and the psychology that drives price moves. You’ll see how fear and greed shape the market and how understanding these dynamics can guide your trading decisions.

On Wednesday, we shift to the mental game of trading with Wesley. We’ll look at discipline, emotions, and resilience, and challenge some of the common beliefs traders hold. It’s about building the right mindset to stay consistent and strong under pressure, with lessons from both psychology and real trading experience.

On my way to Nepal, making the airport my trading desk with just my laptop and a plan.

I’m writing this newsletter on my Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong, on my way to Nepal. This time, I’m heading to climb Manaslu (8,163 meters / 26,781 feet), one of the 8,000-meter peaks in the Himalayas.

Packing for Nepal: Yesterday, I finished packing all the gear I’ll need to spend a few weeks in the Himalayas.

Climbing mountains has taught me so much about trading and life. When you’re on a big expedition, you can’t control the weather, avalanches, or the altitude, just like in trading, you can’t control the market. What you can control is your preparation, discipline, and mindset. That’s why we train, why we build systems, and why we lean on our community.

Everest, two years ago: Here’s a photo of me holding up the BBT flag on the summit of Everest. I’m thinking of all of you again as I set out for Manaslu, and I’m excited to raise our community flag high in the mountains once more.

Both climbing and trading are about patience, risk management, and emotional control. You can’t force a summit, just like you can’t force a trade. You wait for the right window, then act with confidence when the opportunity comes.
