My Trading Goals for 2025

I am a strong believer in positive thinking and continuous personal and professional improvement. Starting my Trader Gu Toolbox was a step toward that journey, and I firmly believe in setting clear, measurable short- and long-term goals. While long-term goals help me visualize what kind of trader I want to be, it’s the short-term habits that drive me toward those goals. Every day, I begin with a personal affirmation that reminds me of who I am and what I do. It literally takes 1 minute 😆.

When it comes to trading, my affirmation is:

I am a consistently profitable Forex day trader and Equity Swing Trader.

I’m not here to be right. I’m here to be profitable.

2025 Measurable Goals

Mindset & Discipline

• Maintain a >75% yearly average for my daily affirmation (tracked with Habit Tracker).

Trading & Strategy

• Follow through on my 25 Year Trading Experiment with monthly investments on 22nd of each month.
• Limit Forex trades to max <2R risk per trade (avoid chasing the big wins!).
• Refine my equity risk strategy by developing a scalable model that adjusts to portfolio growth, transitioning from an invested capital approach to one based on current portfolio value.

Content & Community

• Publish a minimum of 2 blog posts per month.
• Grow my x.com community to 100 500 followers.

Final Thoughts

These goals align with my long-term vision - building sustainable trading habits, refining my risk strategy, and growing a community of like-minded traders.

One thing you won’t see on this list? A financial goal. I believe that if I stay committed to my trading plan, follow my risk strategy, and continuously improve, the financial results will take care of themselves.
