What's up everyone? All right? So I've been getting emails all week long traders saying Ross where are you and some of you guys have known what's been going on cuz you got the message from people in the chat room but I wanted to let everyone know what's happened I've been away for the last four days I didn't trade this week? why not? That's crazy I've never taken four days off. well I didn't take them off by choice last weekend I had an accident skiing and I've been recovering this week. Many of you guys know I am very competitive I love to get out there get aggressive when it comes to trading when it comes to skiing, when it comes to driving race cars, whatever it is I want to do it to the max and I had an accident skiing I had skied all day long I had a great day. it was on my seventh or eighth run I was going down in the train park and I went off a jump and I'd already gone off that jump several times during the day but I went off and as I started to get some air and go into my trick I caught the tip of my ski on the front of the jump and I fell forward and I landed on my myface and my ribs and I hurt my neck and my back.

you could see I still have a little bit of a black eye. it's it's a lot better now than it was earlier in the week and you know I've been just kind of resting and recuperating this week. So right after I fell, I'm on the side of the mountain and these kids come up to me and they're like hey mister, are you okay and you know it's like I feel like I'm the oldest person in the terrain park which is ridiculous but you know 33 the all the young kids that I'm not 17 or 18 anymore So I felt like the old guy there and you know this, do you need some help and I was just kind of I just took such a hard hit that I was just trying to catch my breath and they called ski Patrol Ski patrol came and you know they said alright you do you know what your name is yeah my name is Ross Alright good do you know what you do for a living I said I trade stocks and they're like we're gonna need an ambulance here like now. Really really really I trade stocks and like it's okay son, don't worry about a thing, we're gonna take care of you and so they they put me in the stretcher and you know they.

they brought me down the mountain and brought me into the aid room. the first-aid room and you know they did. They just weren't sure. they put a neck brace on me because you know obviously they they don't want to be liable if something does.

you know something is really wrong. Ambulance was there, they put me in the ambulance, went to the hospital, got an IV in my arm, got some IV fluids and you know basically they did the x-rays, they did a cat scan. Everything was fine which is great. I'm very fortunate I was wearing a helmet and you know it did its job.

So that's the good news. The bad news is the doctor said look, you took a hard fall, you hit your head I did get knocked out and you know I don't know how long I was out, probably only for a second or two but you know he said look, you got a rest, you took a hard hit and so he said no computers no TV just rest this week and you know see how you feel at the end of the week. So I'm feeling a lot better a first couple days you know how to headache wasn't feeling good. really store you know, my neck and back I'm gonna go to a chiropractor and see if I can get some of that figured out but you know it's it's it's fine I mean the most important thing is that you know I am okay and I'm gonna be back at it first thing on Monday morning I Can't wait to train! This has been an exhausting week.

No iPhone no computer no TV what am I to do with myself I reorganized all of my hoodies my hoodie collection I organized them by color so they're all lined up looking great. Got my closet looking good I Started learning how to take care of a bonsai tree so I did a lot of a lot of reading, a lot of studying, did some pruning, did a little bit of wiring and you know it's a it's an art form that I'm not very familiar with so it worked on that. That was fun, but mostly just spend time thinking about trading and wanting to get back to trading. And I was thinking that you know I've made this analogy a million times in our classes and in YouTube videos that you know when you fall skiing or you crash when you're driving a race car or whatever it is.

you have this built in period of time where you have to kind of reflect on what happened. can't go up I mean I could go out skiing today, but you know you can't go back out and take another lap around the racetrack. the second after you take a crash, you just can't. And and same with skiing, you can't get back on the hill.

After you take a bad fall, you got to relax, you got a rest, recuperate, and everything. but we trade it when you make a mistake. When you have a bad trade and you lose a bunch of money, you can get right back in it a minute later and take another trade. Even when you're impaired emotionally and mentally, you can just revenge trade aggressively.

Get in there and you know you can dig yourself a really deep hole in a period of an hour of revenge trading. And I was thinking about that when it comes to skiing cuz you know I want to get back out there. but I you know I gotta take it slow I gotta work my way back up. And you know with training it's just not like that.

And that's why so many trainers will blow up their account and we call them snowball days because they usually start with one loss and then a second, a third, or fourth, or fifth, and six. They're trying to revenge trade, get themselves out of the hole, and next thing you know, boom the accounts gone, especially when you're trading on margin. It happens really fast. So anyways, I just want to update you guys on what's been going on with me this week.

I've been missing you I've been missing doing these recaps every single day and I'm looking forward to getting back at it on Monday morning. So I'll see all of you guys back in the chatroom will be doing YouTube Live around 9 A.m. 9:15 be trading until 10:30 11:00 midday recap as usual. back to normal Monday morning.
