Hello, traders. This week brought some remarkable results for the SK Trading community, with several solid gains and one particularly strong performer. While it’s encouraging to see these outcomes, let’s stay grounded and maintain the discipline that got us here. Emotional highs and lows can cloud our judgment, so we’ll review this week’s closed trades, their impact on the account, and reinforce the importance of sticking to the plan with a clear, steady mindset.
Weekly Closed Trades: Consistent Execution Pays Off
With 20% of the account allocated to each trade, here’s how the week’s closed positions performed:
Monday: CVNA +11.2% – A strong start with Carvana, contributing a +2.24% gain to the total account (11.2% × 20%).
Tuesday: CVNA +13.4% – Carvana continued its momentum, adding +2.68% to the account (13.4% × 20%).
Wednesday: CVNA +7% – A more modest gain, but still positive, with a +1.4% account increase (7% × 20%).
Thursday: CHWY +4.9% – Chewy delivered a steady result, boosting the account by +0.98% (4.9% × 20%).
Friday: BKSY +56% – An exceptional move from BlackSky, adding +11.2% to the account (56% × 20%).
Total Account Gain for the Week: 2.24% + 2.68% + 1.4% + 0.98% + 11.2% = 18.5% growth. This is a significant week, and we’re pleased with the results.
The Bigger Picture: Discipline Over Emotion
Weeks like this remind us why we follow the plan. The 18.5% account growth reflects careful setup analysis, disciplined position sizing (20% per trade), and patience in letting the market play out. BlackSky’s +56% was a standout, but it wasn’t luck—it came from reading the charts and sticking to our process. Similarly, CVNA’s consistent gains over three days show the value of staying focused on momentum without chasing.
That said, we must avoid getting overly excited about big weeks or discouraged by quieter ones. The market is unpredictable, and our job is to execute the plan consistently, not to ride an emotional rollercoaster. Staying calm and methodical keeps us sharp for the long game.
