Reflecting on an Incredible Retreat and Looking Ahead

Dear Traders,

I hope everyone had a great start to the week!

We just wrapped up our first-ever BBT Colombia Retreat, and what an amazing eight days it was! Spending time with 35 traders felt like being with family. The retreat officially ended on Sunday, with most traders heading back home. However, a group of about 10 of us decided to extend the adventure and explore the border region of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. We’re currently in Leticia, a small city that serves as a gateway to the Amazon rainforest, experiencing the magic of Amazonia across three countries.

Unfortunately, I’ll be missing trading this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday as we continue our journey, but I’ll be back in action on Thursday and Friday from Costa Rica, our next destination after Colombia.

Reflecting on the retreat, I’m truly humbled by how successful it was. The feedback from everyone has been incredible, and I personally had such a great time connecting with each of you. Looking ahead, I’m excited to explore hosting more retreats next year in some other exotic destinations. We’re considering places like Dubai, South Africa, Thailand, and other unique spots that many people might not visit alone—but as a group, we can experience them together like family.

A huge thank you to everyone who trusted us and made this retreat so special. Your energy and enthusiasm brought this vision to life, and I’m already looking forward to the next one!

One thing I’ve realized during our retreat in Colombia is that one of the greatest values of this community is bringing people from all over the world together. The energy, support, and shared knowledge truly lift everyone up. It’s an experience that goes beyond trading, creating connections that last far beyond the markets.

That’s why I’m especially looking forward to our BBT Meetup in Vancouver this March, where we’ll once again come together to share moments, insights, and strategies. If you haven’t booked your spot yet, now’s the time!

The event will include:

  • March 29: Our TEDxBearBullTraders event at UBC’s Robson Square, featuring world-class speakers discussing mental resilience and peak performance.
  • March 30-31: The Live Trading Summit at the Paradox Hotel Vancouver, where you’ll trade alongside experienced traders, learn new strategies, and gain valuable peer-to-peer insights.
  • I can’t wait to see you all in Vancouver for what promises to be an unforgettable experience!

This week is shaping up to be an exciting one in the markets, even though I’ll be away from the screens for a few days. With key earnings reports, economic data releases, and continued market volatility, there will be plenty of opportunities to trade and learn. While I may not be trading live, the strength of our community ensures you’ll have all the resources you need to stay on top of your game.

Our webinars and mentorship sessions will be running as usual, featuring our incredible mentors who are ready to guide you through setups and strategies in real-time. If you haven’t checked out our Trading Terminal courses yet, this is also a great time to take advantage of the 50% off Black Friday sale and invest in your trading education.

The market is full of opportunities, and I’m confident our community will navigate it with precision, discipline, and teamwork. I can’t wait to hear about your trades and successes when I return later this week.

To your success,
Andrew
