Two biggest hurdles I’ve faced in trading:
1. Setup Confidence: I used to constantly second-guess my entries. Backtesting over 1,000 trades over the last few months changed everything.
My confidence is at an all-time high.
2. Execution Fear: Emotionally, fear of failure still gets to me. I hesitated on several setups recently.
The wild part?
A review showed most of those skipped trades hit an average 1:5 RR.
Progress isn't linear, but the data doesn't lie. Long way to go, but we keep pushing.
May Allah grant us success 🙏
Imagine hitting Russia with your harshest sanctions… then days later begging them for oil. 😂

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Kremlin Confirms Putin–Trump Talks as Russia Moves to Resume Diesel Exports
The Kremlin has released an official statement following today’s telephone conversation between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, confirming discussions on Ukraine, Iran, bilateral relations and global energy markets.
Key developments reported:
• Russia confirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to American and global markets.
• Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced that Russia is immediately beginning to lift diesel export restrictions ahead of schedule.
• Moscow is prepared to supply additional diesel to the US market as early as October.
• Russia could increase diesel exports in November and December as refineries return from maintenance.
• Novak assured that Russia’s domestic market would remain fully supplied with diesel.
The Kremlin also confirmed that Putin and Trump agreed to maintain direct personal contact and cooperation between their administrations, intelligence services and other government agencies.
According to TASS, this was their sixth telephone conversation of 2026 and their 16th since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.
Notably, while Trump announced specific diesel delivery volumes totaling up to 4.8 million tons, the Kremlin’s statement confirmed Russia’s willingness to supply energy without committing publicly to those quantities.
Russia is preparing to reopen diesel exports while Washington eases sanctions on Russian energy amid the ongoing global supply crisis.
Sources: Kremlin, TASS (October 9, 2026).
The European leaders will eventually learn this the hard way.
Trump announces a diesel deal with Putin, and suddenly everyone is having a collective meltdown. Accusations of Russian influence, Americans are fighting among themselves, Europeans are left wondering what just happened, Zelensky is in shambles.
Some are even calling it a Russian betrayal of Iran, which I find particularly absurd. Moscow isn’t joining Washington’s war against Tehran. It’s selling Russian fuel into a supply crisis Washington helped create, while getting the Americans to ease their own sanctions and making Trump look stupid in the process. Russia’s commitments to Iran will not change.
And for what?
The entire proposed Russian diesel package amounts to roughly 9–10 days of US consumption. That’s assuming all 4.8 million metric tons are delivered, including the 3 million tons contingent on Russian refinery capacity.
The deliveries are spread over months, and the fuel is intended for both American and global markets. Hardly the miraculous solution to America’s diesel crisis that Trump is advertising.
But the political spectacle is amaaaaazing.
Washington has spent years trying to isolate Russian energy, only for Trump to publicly announce that he needs Putin’s help while simultaneously boasting about America’s “TOTAL CONTROL” of the Strait of Hormuz.
A drop in the bucket for American fuel consumption, yet an enormous propaganda victory for Moscow.
Russian subversion? Putin barely had to lift a finger.

Dxy is still bearish on the weekly chart even though it has shown strong bullish momentum in the past two weeks. My opinion; if this weeks candle closes above the previous week's candle, that would indicate a bullish shift in market structure.
Remember to always trade responsibly!!!

Took this GBPUSD short.
Was up +3.65R at one point. Held it because my full target was 9R and first partial was planned at 4.5R.
Never got there.
Closed it at a loss.
I’m still proud of this one though.
Didn’t get emotional. Didn’t start forcing trades. Stayed calm after it went against me.
That’s the part that actually matters.
If I had just executed every valid setup without letting emotions interfere, this account would already be up at least $1,000.
Missed some clean ones because of that.
Process first. The results will catch up.

12 Keys to Becoming One Great Trader Cheat Sheet:
1. Love the Game: If you don't genuinely love trading, you will never become a Market Wizard. On our desk, guys talk trading on the way to the gym, over breakfast, and all day long. It isn't a 9-to-5; it’s an authentic obsession.
2. Learn How to Make One Good Trade: You must learn how to think through and construct a good risk-to-reward trade before touching the keys. One Good Trade. And then One Good Trade. And then One Good Trade.
3. Study & Build Real Edge: Study the setups profitable traders take. Make them your own. Innovate and add strategies that make sense to your unique cognitive strengths.
4. Execute Daily Best Practices: Complete your PlayBook, run your Daily Report Card (DRC), crunch your execution stats, backtest setups, and work on yourself.
5. Immerse Yourself in Professional Culture: Trading in isolation takes years longer and costs a fortune in "tuition"—otherwise known as painful trading losses. Get around serious traders with the highest standards.
6. Collaborate Relentlessly: Our top desk pulled in ~$50M in 2025 because they trade as a team. They gameplan A+ trades, hold each other accountable, and check each other's blind spots. Collaboration expands your PnL exponentially.
7. Build & Leverage Technology: You cannot see everything manually. Be bionic: build custom scanners, scripts, alerts, and leverage automated tools to make more.
8. Bring Your Best "You" to the Screens: Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness all precede elite performance.
9. Embrace Supreme Patience: Traders want the 8-figure year on Day 30. Early in your career, focus on becoming consistently profitable, no matter how small the PnL.
10. Master Your Trading Psychology: Mindset isn't about avoiding losses; it’s how you handle market feedback. When you stop taking losses personally and treat them as the cost of doing business, the emotional friction disappears.
11. Talent: You can't play running back in the NFL without elite speed and strength. You can't become an elite active bionic discretionary Market Wizard without the ability to process information quickly.
12. Resources: Capital, technology, dedicated mentoring and coaching, seasoned senior traders, tools and research are essential to give you the best chance at greatness.

That tells you the war was never about Nukes
The situation between Iran and the US has now become so funny to me
The US is saying you should NOT have nuclear weapons
Iran is saying We DON'T want to have nuclear weapons
We are fighting over something that never existed in the first place and both countries can't reach an agreement on something that Iran doesn't have 😂

If you don't mind being wrong on the way to being right you'll learn a lot--and increase your effectiveness.
But if you can't tolerate being wrong, you won't grow, you'll make yourself and everyone around you miserable, and your work environment will be marked by petty backbiting and malevolent barbs rather than by a healthy, honest search for truth. #principleoftheday
This is long overdue. Well, I guess is better late than never right?
Imagine the West and media outrage if Iran’s president told the UNGA Iran might annihilate Israel or the US. Yet Trump says he might annihilate Iran and the world is silent.
The world doesn’t suffer only from the violence of the wicked, it suffers from the silence of good people.
Took a loss on my trade last week Wednesday.
I got taken out when fomc was released.
My mistake was that my SL wasn’t wide enough although it’s wider than where I’d usually place my SL.
Lesson learnt.
Unto the next😎
I had to close this trade at BE considering how the LHs are forming.
In trading, you should be willing to accept when you’re wrong about the market.
Do not get married to your bias/analysis.
If the 9am candle on the 4H chart closes below the rectangle box, that would indicated a bearish reversal.
