Hey Trader,
Embrace Your Journey: Daily Commitment to Your Trading Goals
I hope this message finds you well. As retail traders, we navigate a challenging path filled with ups and downs, much like the journey described in:
Luke 9:23 - "Then he said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'"
This powerful verse reminds us of the importance of daily commitment and self-discipline. Just as following a spiritual path requires dedication and perseverance, so does the journey to becoming a successful trader.
Every day, we must deny short-term temptations and distractions, and instead, focus on our long-term goals. Taking up our cross in trading means accepting the challenges and learning from each experience, knowing that consistency and persistence are the keys to success.
Let's embrace this mindset and apply it to our trading practice. Stay disciplined, stay committed, and remember that every small step taken with determination brings us closer to our goals. Wishing you a productive and fulfilling trading journey!
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will

Kicked The Session Off With A LOSING TRADE 🤷🏻♂️
Welcome to today’s analysis! I’m Anthony Speciale from Speciale Analysis, here to walk you through my thought process and trading decisions from this morning.
Every day, I take you along as I navigate the markets, providing insights that can help you refine your own trading strategies.
The Value of Consistent Market Interpretation
What I offer isn’t financial or trading advice but rather a detailed look at how I interpret the market, based on over 13 years of trading experience.
My goal is to help you understand the market dynamics better, so you can apply these insights to your own trading plan.
Remember, trading isn’t easy—it's one of the toughest challenges you'll face, but the rewards can be unparalleled if you’re willing to put in the effort.
Understanding the Market Variables
Trading is much like golfing; each swing, or trade, is influenced by numerous variables. From market conditions to your personal approach, every detail matters.
To succeed, you must apply your trade plan with consistency, ensuring you have the highest probability of favorable outcomes. This business is all about managing probabilities, and that’s what I aim to help you master.
Today’s Trades: A Case Study
This morning, I took two trades—one loss and one win. Here’s a breakdown:
The Losing Trade
Crude oil was particularly choppy. We saw a brief breakout above previous highs, followed by a consolidation phase. Around 10:25 AM, I attempted a short position, anticipating a potential double top. The market didn’t cooperate, and I took a loss. Despite the setback, I adhered to my trade plan, knowing that not every trade will work.
The Winning Trade
Later, around 11:30 AM, I saw another opportunity. The market retested a previous high, and I went long. This time, the market moved in my favor. I took profits as we revisited the previous high and exited my position as soon as the market showed signs of reversing. Although this trade wasn’t enormous, it was enough to recover my earlier loss and secure a modest profit.
Key Takeaways for Retail Traders
Consistency is Key: Adhere to your trade plan regardless of the outcome of individual trades.
Understand Market Dynamics: Each trade is influenced by a myriad of variables. Your job is to interpret these and act accordingly.
Stay Calm and Collected: Emotional control is crucial. Avoid making impulsive decisions, especially after a losing trade.
Realistic Expectations: The trading world is filled with unrealistic portrayals of success. Focus on building a sustainable and repeatable trade plan.
The Reality of Trading
Many traders are lured by the glamorous portrayals of wealth and success. The truth is far less glamorous. Trading requires dedication, discipline, and a significant investment of time and effort. It’s the most lucrative business in the world, but also one of the most stressful. My role is to provide you with a realistic view and equip you with the tools and knowledge to navigate these challenges effectively.
