📺 About This Video

Good morning—Tim here. Quick pre-market talk about a mistake I made, why I cut it quickly, and what led to it (sleep, FOMO, software hiccups, and letting recent runners influence me). I break down:

Why chasing “day two” momentum can be smarter than bottom-ticking dips in this environment

- How to spot when a fast mover is not bouncing and bail

- Resetting size and expectations after a rule break

- Choosing sleep and clarity over forcing trades

This isn’t about bragging or doom... it’s about process. Study the tape, define your trigger (usually a clean high-of-day break with volume), pre-plan exits, and be ready to do nothing if the setup isn’t there. Stay safe and keep it disciplined.
