To The Moon

What would I do with a $2,000 trading account? 👇

First, I’d split it into two separate accounts:

$1,000 for swing trading.
$1,000 for scalping.

The goal wouldn’t be to force a certain return every month.

The goal would be to build a process that keeps me from blowing up. 🧠

Here are the 20 rules I’d follow:

1️⃣ Separate the accounts

One account for swings. One for scalps.

2️⃣ Keep $1,000 in each

Give each strategy its own capital and its own rules.

3️⃣ Limit scalps

Maximum 0–2 scalp trades per day.

No exceptions.

4️⃣ Keep swing trades simple

Trade 1–2 contracts at a time and focus on liquid names such as $NVDA, $AAPL, $TSLA, $META, $GOOG, $MSFT, $AMZN, $SPY and $AMD.

5️⃣ Only trade 1–2 scalp setups

You don't need 10 setups.

You need a couple you know well. 🎯

6️⃣ Keep the contracts affordable

For scalps, I’d look for contracts around $2–$4 with at least one week until expiration.

7️⃣ Define the stop before entering

A $0.30–$0.50 stop from entry gives the trade a clearly defined risk.

Know the loss before you take the trade.

8️⃣ Study your exits

If your trades repeatedly hit the target after you sold early, figure out why.

Was it fear? Lack of confidence? No plan?

Fix the behavior, not just the trade. 📊

9️⃣ Track your bad habits

Chasing.

FOMO.

Taking trades you never planned.

Your first 20 trades should teach you a lot about yourself.

🔟 Review every trade

Every day.

What worked? What didn't? What rule did you break?

1️⃣1️⃣ Learn technical analysis

But don't stop there.

You also need to understand how your emotions affect your decisions.

1️⃣2️⃣ Learn to wait

This might be the hardest part of trading.

If you can sit there doing nothing until your setup appears, you're already improving. ⏳

1️⃣3️⃣ Use a broker that fits your strategy

IBKR, TOS, Webull — the platform matters less than having a process you can execute consistently.

1️⃣4️⃣ Learn your candlestick patterns

Don't memorize them just for the sake of memorizing them.

Understand what price and volume are telling you.

1️⃣5️⃣ Don't anticipate the confirmation

Before entering, let the candle close with strength and volume.

Then watch the next candle.

If it confirms the move, that's when you consider the entry.

1️⃣6️⃣ Use multiple timeframes

Scalp from the 1-minute and 5-minute charts.

But always check the 1-hour and daily charts first. 👀

The bigger picture matters.

1️⃣7️⃣ Build a system

Write down your rules.

Your setup.

Your entry.

Your stop.

Your exit.

Then follow the system.

1️⃣8️⃣ Make breaking your rules difficult

If you know you chase after losing trades, build limits around yourself.

Don't rely entirely on willpower.

1️⃣9️⃣ Keep a cheatsheet

Have your rules somewhere you can see them before every trade.

Your future self will thank you. 📝

2️⃣0️⃣ Stop obsessing over daily P&L

Some days you make $0.

Some days $20.

Some days $100.

That's trading.

The goal isn't to force a green day every single day.

The goal is to execute the same process over and over again.

And that's the part most people underestimate.

The moment you start thinking about how much money you need to make, the pressure goes up.

Then you start forcing trades.

You move your stops.

You chase.

You sell too early.

You break your own rules.

Focus on the process.

Let the money become the result of good execution — not the reason for every decision. 🎯📈
