Overview: This was a month of solidification from the study of July, & implementation of some of the newfound knowledge in my trade executions. First month executing trades with more well rounded knowledge of options & Greeks. Also most profitable month to date, & before most recent losing date, most profitable month by a significant margin. Had first losing day in over 10 weeks. Notable moments were beginning scaling out trading for the first time trading multiple contracts, building out TOS for watching/trading multiple names, the creation of Stages of Understanding Visual, 1 on 1 with Dragon, deep study of SMB & Unravel videos, Discovering & steeping my self in Stan Druckenmiller, discovering Larry McMillian.

Discovered Stan Druckenmiller, Refined trading module to gain deeper insight into option Greeks & their behavior, Studied deeply, Unravel video, took notes. Discovered Larry Mcmillian. Added different time horizons to trading module, & embraced importance of time horizon plan for trades (Scalp, Day Trade, Swing). Read Some of New Trading for a Living. Created Stages of Understanding Visual tool & Refined goal visualizer tool, conceptualized the progress needed in order to have trading fund my life. Joined Zaryab discord & finished potential profit calculator. Opened swing beautifully, did not lock in profits. Rookie mistake. Had 1.5 hr 1 on 1 with dragon, he sent me some of his fills. Did deep study of tape reading video by SMB with notes, traded & had first losing day in 10 weeks. Started TAST 2nd reading, read 198 pages.
