THIS IS WHAT OUR HOT SEATS DO FOR TRADERS...

“I turned things around end of the quarter and stopped bleeding money. I’m really getting that I have to hold trades if I’m going to make money. I traded through a bad stretch and stuck with it.  In the past, I would stop trading when I hit a bad stretch and the market usually got a lot better right after that. By end of year will be totally debt free from personal standpoint.” – Mark

“I followed the rules, filled out the checklists, and took Screenshots of most of my trades. I created a trading plan for the week, identified top and bottom names for the week, calculated the 2ART risk, and established a 3R peel-off for money management. Thank you, Chuck, Alex, and everyone, for helping me greatly throughout the year. As a result, I have learned not only about trading but also about life.” – Hien

“I feel like I have made a very positive start to the year already but I have had some blindspots. Addressing and resolving these can only be positive for my trading performance - especially re TF trading and adding some longer term exposure too. I am in a much better place now to hit my goals and have specific action points with which to move forward. This is empowering and exciting. I can both relieve myself of an emotional burden and indeed boost my profitability.”

“The defining success of Q3 was simple: I did it. ​I executed real trades, consistently, within the BB Gun framework. This was my first quarter of true participation with structured trading and systems — moving from theory to practice. I used the Matrix Money Machine Live course as both a learning platform and accountability structure. I made money, lost money, and made mistakes, but I learned from each of them. Month by month, my R-multiple averages improved, and my overall confidence in execution and process management has grown. In Q3, I feel that I demonstrated emotional durability, discipline under pressure, and a shift from student to practitioner. I proved I can follow the system and continue developing competence with every cycle. ​I am becoming more confident in my identity as a trader and builder of a trading business." – Philip​

“I committed to a daily debrief, which helped me track my behavior, refine my awareness, and build asense of rhythm. My trade log and P&L tracking improved significantly, giving me tangible data to analyze and learn from. I tested a simple system (SPX 0DTE) and learned an important lesson: I need to backtest and see the chart for myself to gain conviction. There’s no shortcut - I work better when I dothe “dirty work” manually. I recognized that I perform better with simpler systems and longer timeframes- they align more naturally with how I think and feel. I learned that it’s okay to miss trades due to personal beliefs or biases, and that jumping in impulsively is often about chasing excitement or trying to prove something, not about edge. I improved significantly in drawing and reading WAM zones, which enhanced my market interpretation and setup selection. I began to identify deeper psychologicalpatterns around money, self-worth, and urgency - this awareness is a key milestone.​" – Priscilla​
