Hey everyone, Ross Cameron here! Today, I’m stoked to share a breakdown of my morning trades where I locked in $10,432.70 in just two hours. That’s double my daily goal, and what’s even better—it was a great recovery after yesterday. If you tuned in before, you know I had a rough day, losing focus and breaking my rules. But today, it was all about discipline and sticking to the plan.

Yesterday was a spiral where frustration took over and I gave back half my profits. It wasn’t even the loss that got to me—it was knowing that I had broken my own rules. Letting emotions lead the way can put you in a dangerous spot fast. But I knew what needed to happen: I had to get back on track with pure focus.

Learning from Yesterday’s Mistakes

The thing about breaking your rules in day trading? Sometimes, you get lucky. The market might still give you a win after breaking a rule, and that can send the wrong message. You’ve got to be careful about that because the market is wildly inconsistent in how it rewards following your strategy. Yesterday, I fell victim to that inconsistency. I got stubborn, kept trading, and ended up losing.

Here’s the trap: I had FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). When I walked away from the screens at the right time, I watched a stock go up without me. That played with my head. I let that tiny seed of “missing out” grow into frustration, and that frustration turned into a mess on Tuesday. By staying aggressive and chasing trades, I landed in a hole. But today, I made a commitment to discipline. I told myself all the profit to recover yesterday’s mistake was right there in the market; I just had to follow my rules.

Breaking Down Today’s Trades: LASE & BNZI

Let’s dive into the trades. My first one today was on LASE. This stock had an impressive move yesterday, so I came in looking for early action. I jumped in at 823 for the break of VWAP and rode it up to 868, which gave me almost $1,000 right out of the gate. Later, I bought the dip at 798, and the stock popped back up. By the time I wrapped up with LASE, I was up +$2,295 in profit from this one stock alone.

Then came BNZI. It wasn’t on my top scanners initially, but the moment it hit my radar, I pulled up the chart. The stock started moving fast. The first trade was at 392, looking to ride it up through $4. It worked out and kept moving higher. I stayed flexible and bought when it held key levels, gradually adding at 506, 523, and even 542 as it pushed up. By the time it peaked at around $6.58, I was sitting comfortably with some strong gains of +$7,854 from this fast action.

Knowing When to Walk Away

One of the biggest lessons in day trading is recognizing when enough is enough. After locking in those gains, I saw more stocks popping up on my scanners, but I didn’t chase them. I know from experience that chasing wins can turn into chasing losses really quickly.

Look, I’ve blown so many great mornings before by overstaying my welcome. You can have an amazing few hours, but then overstretch yourself with one bad move. I’m proud of walking away today with over $10,400 in profit and not pushing my luck. There’s always another trade tomorrow, and I want to keep my focus sharp for it.

The Power of Discipline and Sticking to Your Rules

Success in day trading comes down to discipline. It’s not always about hitting green days; it’s about stacking days of disciplined trading. My biggest takeaway from these past couple of days is simple: consistent profits happen when you stay consistent with your rules.

There’s no magic trick to this. You find a strategy, stick to it, and don’t let emotions lead the charge. Following your system—even when you’re tempted to go off course—is what separates good traders from reckless ones. Today, I didn’t just recover from yesterday; I proved to myself that discipline is what closes the loop on great trading.

So, if you’re out there struggling with FOMO, chasing losses, or feeling frustrated with red days, remember this: stick to your rules, know when to walk away, and practice discipline every single day. Thanks for reading, and happy trading!
