It is with great pleasure that I can report to the BBT community that the Chicago BBT Meetup Round 2 on August 18th with Andrew Aziz was a complete success ! Thank you Logan Bar and Grill (2230 N. California Ave, Logan Square) for your great service and hospitality ! Thank you all who made it out to our event, especially to our BBT friends from Indiana and Detroit (Wow!) and for all of your amazing participation and fellowship! Last, but not least, a special thank you to the man of the hour, Mr. Andrew Aziz !!! Thank you Andrew for traveling to Chicago with your wife, for sharing with us and answering all of our questions and concerns, and for giving us the hope, not the promise, that we can all make better lives for ourselves and for our families! "I believe becoming a consistently profitable trader just might be the hardest thing you will ever do in your life. Respect the process. You are not entitled to make it. You are entitled to work very hard for eight to twelve months, be trained well, and find out how good you can be. You must believe that you will become great." -Andrew Aziz, How To Day Trade For A Living (pg.230) Amen !

great!

Ok guys this is a little bit of the adventure we had in Mexico Andrew, Carlos and myself.... We arrived to Mexico City on Tuesday afternoon and then we went to the our cabins located at the town of Amecameca, in Mexico State, about 1.5 hours drive from Mexico City. After checking-in in our cabins we went to a nearby forest to look for Fireflies and we were surprised with a lot of them in their mating ritual in the dark. For dinner, we had delicious Chiles en Nogada, right know is pomegranate season in Mexico and restaurants use it to prepare this great Mexican dish. Thursday we had a Cecina (meat) breakfast before a 11K / 2.5 hrs hike around Paso de Cortés (3,600m) to get some acclimatization before the real thing (Iztaccihuatl volcano, third highest peak in Mexico, 5,286m). In this hike we went through Apatlaco park where we admired a fall and some creeks After the hike we went to see some places around Amecameca and finished the day with a dinner and a hail storm. Friday we continued with sightseeing Amecameca, got some supplies and we head to Iztaccihuatl volcano base to set up our camp to spend the night there to start hiking Saturday 6.00 am. Saturday night we had a very heavy rain and thunders for the most part of the night so we got poor sleep. Of course this rain covered of snow the Iztaccihuatl the day after. @ 4:00 am we woke up to break camp and pack up. 6:00 am we started our hike to Iztaccihuatl. After about 6 hours hiking, Carlos and I made it to the “Los Cien” retreat @ 4,780m and decided to head back to base while Andrew continued the hike to the summit (5,286m). For Carlos and I the Iztaccihuatl was our first mountain (in this case, volcano) so 4,780m wasn´t that bad. For Andrew, having done Nepal before, Iztaccihuatl wasn´t a big deal lol… Next day, Sunday evening, we meet Leland, who flew from Tijuana to México City to meet Andrew, and Fernando @fdo.smo, from México City. They shared their own motivations to get into day trading, some reports from the field and had a great time.

Getting prepared for another week of trading. Sundays I like to take some time to review last week's journal and focus on what could be done better for the coming week. Every day we trade we take something with us. No matter if is a green or red day something was learned. What we did well we want to repeat and what we did poorly we want to improve. My job is to highlight those things and bring them front and center, with special focus what I need to improve on. Whatever your routine is to prepare for the trading week make sure you do it so you are ready to have a successful week. Let's Rock This Week BBT!

As a muscle strengthens at the point of failure, we learn best after dramatic errors.

Abiel, I have the same issue. I noticed it on the chart for MTCH. It’s as if there’s an invisible line drawn there but it won’t remove. I was going to send DAS a video showing it, but glad they already know. Thanks for posting this!
