$NQ wrapped up the year nicely with a solid +3R scalp. The play unfolded clean—caught the sellside liquidity being taken, then entered right at that 1min 1FVG that formed after the CISD print hit.

Nothing fancy. Just textbook execution.

Here's the real takeaway though: the year's close reminds us that process beats emotion every single time. You can have the perfect setup, but if your head's not in the game, you'll leave money on the table or worse, blow up an account trying to force something that isn't there.

Heading into the new year—let's keep it simple. Discipline. Consistency. Let those compound into bigger profits instead of chasing lottery tickets. The market will give us plenty of opportunities. We just gotta show up with the right mindset.
