Hey there Trader, The VTP Traders Accountability Group  starts tonight at 19:15 . No hype. No promises. No noise. Just weekly structure, accountability, and standards — for traders who don’t want 2026 to become a repeat of last year.

Because insight without support rarely lasts. Wh

If you’ve read the first two pieces, you’ll already know where this is heading. Review matters. Skipping it leads to drift. Drift quietly repeats years. The next question is the one most traders avoid: Do you actually have a plan for how you’re going to operate in 2026? Not a vague intention. Not a resolution. A plan. What Most Traders Mean by “A Plan” When traders say they have a plan for the new year, it usually sounds like this: “I’ll be more disciplined.” “I’ll trade les

The OODA Loop (Observe → Orient → Decide → Act) was originally developed for fighter pilots who had to make split-second calls under extreme pressure. In trading, it’s just as powerful. When you learn to
