Hi David,
I thought I would also share some of my personal experiences with you.
I have been trading SWS for just over 4 ½ years now.
My account has also just again achieved an all-time high as seen on figure 1 !
This has also just come off a 12.38% drawdown as recent as 07/04/25 as seen on figure 2.
The chart and figures may seem a bit skewed due to capital injections but I’m sure you get the drift.
This has also achieved the aim in my plan of outperforming the benchmark of XAO.
While many were recently panicking or reacting to recent geopolitical events, I executed my plan flawlessly by following the SWS method in a calm and peaceful manner regardless of outside noise.
Over time, each capital injection was due to the mind set shift and trust in the process.
This may be akin to our analogy of raising the tightrope.
Each capital injection was the raising of the tightrope just that little bit higher.
The way you trust your system on the tightrope 1m off the ground is the same as trusting your system 100m off the ground.
I also recently started the LTTP USD Feb program.
I have just set the level of that tight rope.
I know unquestionably that when I execute my plan accordingly it will allow the edge to manifest too.
By adapting the teachings of the Mindset meets Mechanics and the LTTP along with the teachings of Mark Douglas, James Clear and Gary Stone ( maybe one day you need to write a book too David 
!!)
I know there is a random distribution of wins and losses for any given set of variables that determines an edge and that Anything can Happen !
- My feelings when I trade now are calm and peaceful and I aim for a neutral emotional feeling regardless of win or loss. I just execute my plan and let it manifest its edge.
- The biggest lesson learnt is that I don’t need to know what’s going to happen next in order to make money.
- What’s changed the most is the development of Myelin which has enabled me to execute flawlessly in a calm and peaceful manner.
- Daily habit is being aware of the noise but not letting it impact upon my trading plan.
I’d like to extend my utmost gratitude to you and Gary for your continuous Mentoring and support.
Cheers,
Phil Ferraro
