As the final trading day of 2023 approaches, it’s a perfect moment to reflect on my recent journey into trading. The experience has been enlightening, peppered with invaluable lessons that I’m eager to remember. From sizable gaps to price rejection candles and monitoring the distance from moving averages (MA), each has taught me the importance of vigilance and attentiveness to market nuances.

The cumulative outcome of this learning curve is evident; as of the time of writing, I’ve managed to achieve an approximate 8.5% gain for the month. This result serves as a green light, a confirmation that I am ready to transition from paper trading to deploying a small seed capital. Albeit, I don’t expect to be immediately profitable.

Here’s to 2024 — a year brimming with possibilities, growth, and the excitement of navigating the markets armed with a newfound perspective.

I hope to make it a year to remember.
