Trading

It has been only a week, and there were so many crazy things happening within this week. I don’t know, I feel like it is going to be a “great” year. My account has dropped almost 5% the first trading day in 2024. I thought I was going to -10% in the first week. That’s also not bad. Last time, when I reached -20%, I flew to 170% the next day....

That means that the market starts at 1:30 AM....
