Coach Mark here.

Bitcoin up. Tech down. Defensive stocks rallying. The first day of 2024 certainly is not boring to say the least!

I am committed to 2024 being a great year. I know it will be. I will execute my trading plan. I will show discipline. I will never be too greedy nor will I ever be too fearful. I will manage my trades according to my rules and as such 2024 will fall into place and when the calendar turns to 2025, I will look back at 2024 as another successful year of trading.

Notice how I did not say that a certain strategy, company, or area of the market would lead to success in 2024? It is because there are many ways to find success in trading. There are many ways to find success in managing our portfolios. Lots of strategies, techniques, and ticker symbols to choose from. However, there are things that we all can do to increase our chances of success. Discipline, patience, staying in control of our emotions…to me these are the foundation of trading success.

We will have a great 2024 regardless of what the market does or what an individual stock does. Myself and the other coaches at Tackle Trading will be there every step of the way to make that happen for you!

Let’s have a successful 2024! Let’s Do This!!!!
