Competitive trading and Professional (real) trading are RADICALLY different.

+143%. Lets wrap up 2024! 🥳 🥂

Unlike real trading, which is more similar to a solo-marathon where it's just you and the market...

Being in a trading competition means your goal is not to achieve stable returns through time.

No: you want to WIN the race!

As you can see from the latest part of my 2024 World Cup Championship Verified Equity Curve, after hitting a top at around 200%, December has not been free of challenges.

The competitive nature of Trading in the Championships led me to purposefully choose to increase the risk profile in order to have higher chances to give a big final boost to the overall performance.

But that's the reality of trading: Increasing the risk profile can always work in your favor (reward), or against (draw-down)!

This year, unlike 2021 and 2022, but similarly to 2023, increasing risk has backfired.

What played a role in the backfire is also all the psychological challenges that naturally occur when you have "all eyes on you".

Trading is full of animal spirits already: imagine putting those spirits on a public competition!

So, to wrap up this 2024, I'm happy and grateful to still having achieved a great performance in this stressful and competitive environment.

Championships are not about who is "the best trader". There is no such thing as a "best trader".

It's more of a "stress-test".

It's about proving that your edge, your experience, your strategy can withstand and perform well regardless of the added psychological burden (and sky high commission, lol).

And I'm happy to say my team and I proved once again that our approach can do it.

For the 8th competition in a raw and 4th year in a raw.

I hope and wish you got valuable lessons in your 2024 and that 2025 you will be able to reap the fruits.

In 2025 I'm going to focus more and more on Portfolio management and Educating traders with my mentor Tom, Jonathan Gebers and the rest of the TTT team at @WorldClassEdge  with the help of @andrea_cimitan  and @Fabervaale 

Our Live Mentorship Sessions will officially start in the 2 weeks.
