Corey said something this morning that explains why some traders thrive while others struggle with identical setups.
He's becoming a Russell trader.
Not because he wants to be contrarian. Not because he's making a statement. Because the Russell gives him what the S&P 500 used to provide before mega-cap tech hollowed it out from within.
The NASDAQ is six stocks now. The S&P 500 isn't far behind. The Russell remains what indices were supposed to be.
In today's free session replay, you'll discover:
- Why the easy money moved to a different market without warning. Corey spent years trading the S&P 500 exclusively. That market made sense. It followed patterns. It responded to technical levels. Then concentration destroyed those characteristics. The NASDAQ became unwatchable first. Now the S&P 500 is following.
- The Turtle Trader experiment that proves trading can be taught but psychology can't. Two millionaires made a bet in the eighties. They taught identical rules to multiple people. Same strategies. Same market conditions. Some traders made 50%. Others lost everything. The difference came down to fear and discipline.
- What happens when you identify difficult conditions in the first hour. Most traders push through and make it worse. Corey explained three options when your market turns against you early. One involves switching instruments completely. The Russell isn't easy every day. But when the S&P 500 ranges while the Russell trends, that split creates massive opportunity.
- Why Corey would rather miss profits than take catastrophic losses. He booked his targets this morning. The market continued higher without him. He's fine with that outcome. The alternative is getting short when the market breaks above the expected move and bleeding stops all day. He'll take missed opportunity over wrong direction every time.
The conversation about paper trading versus live money matters more than most people realize.
Paper accounts fill every order. They don't teach competition for contracts. They don't show how the dome fiddles at your price without filling you. They don't create the emotional pressure that changes decision-making when real money sits at risk.
Corey's recommendation is simple. Paper trade long enough to learn mechanics. Then get to micros and live money as quickly as possible. Build track records with actual fills and actual psychology.
The market concentration problem isn't going away. The NASDAQ became six stocks. The S&P 500 is following that path. Understanding this shift separates traders who adapt from traders who keep fighting conditions that no longer exist.
