TraderSync Update On My Trades| $500 Account Challenge Day 49

We’ve all heard the phrase, "Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing." But is that truly the case when it comes to investing? While the thrill of a profitable trade is undoubtedly exhilarating, the stock market is a complex arena where lessons learned often outweigh the financial gains. In this blog, I’ll be taking you on a journey through my $500 account, proving that even with the smallest of stakes, invaluable insights can be gleaned. It’s time to challenge the conventional wisdom and explore the idea that sometimes, the most significant victories are the ones we learn from, not the ones we celebrate.

TraderSync Overview

So we are almost 50 days into this $500 Account Follow Along, and as you can see below the results are not as positive as I would like them to be monetarily speaking. That being said, I am learning a brand new strategy with this account, and have learned a lot of lessons. So overall this has been a success.

Over the past 49 days I've become way more confident following this trading strategy. I made a few mistakes that cost me on $CRM, $HOOD, $SNAP and a few others. Had I played these trades perfectly, I would be up pretty big right now. However most people aren't perfect when they are practicing something new, which is why starting small (for example a $500 account) is the perfect way to learn!! TraderSync also has a Market Replay feature you can use to test your strategies!

The biggest takeaway is that had I set Stop Losses on every single of one of trades, as per my plan, I would have been in the green still with a good amount of profit overall. This data is good because it shows me one simple thing that I can do that can help my trading going forward with this plan, and that is to set stop losses as soon as I enter the trade, no matter what.

Jay is going on vacation for two weeks, so I am going to be holding off from Swing Trading for a little bit. I sold all of my positions except for $TKO as that one is my personal trade. I will be focusing more on day trading until Jay gets back!

$NKE $72.60 entry, $82.22 target and $71.24 stop loss is still in play. Our $M and $UBER trades (look at the watchlist graphics at the top of the page for entry and targets) also hit entry. I am not in any of these plays with this account, as I am taking a break from swing trading while Jay is on vacation.
