@TheH0n3stTrader If the trader has strong inner desire to succeed, he will be willing to sacrifice everything and put all efforts and time into trading until mastering it. When that happens, other things can slowly re-build over time.
The hardest pill to swallow in trading: You can do everything 100% right and still lose the trade. 💊📉
In engineering or a 9-to-5 job, following the exact steps guarantees the exact result.
In trading, following your exact plan only gives you a statistical edge—often a win rate of just 50% or even less—never a guarantee on the next trade.
When you refuse to accept that a textbook setup can still end in a red outcome:
• You hesitate on the next valid setup.
• You move your stop-loss out of fear.
• You hop from strategy to strategy every week.
Accept the risk before you click BUY or SELL.
Once the trade is live, the outcome belongs to the market—your only job is execution. 🛡️
@yan_tradesnq I think that happen a lot to newer trader where they feel more confident when seeing more evidence supporting their view. There is a saying, the more years you trade, the cleaner your chart is.
@TheH0n3stTrader I normally use trading view for trend analysis, back testing strategy, then use the prop firm platform to enter the trade, so far not much issue. Mind to share your thinking?
@marketscoach@RedDogT3 This is true especially if the trader is watching every candle moving live in the market. The emotion will be like roller coaster and keep finding thousands evidence to support the new stop loss
@prrobbins Failed? Find the possible solution, try again.

Repeat the cycle despite having non profitable year.
@FundYourFX Be firm on own strategy, and don't be affected by the market sentiment -- especially everyone is asking if the bear market is coming, sharing evidence of stocks big falling, etc.
@martinfxtrade For trading, it will be a good starting step even just try to trade with demo account for maybe 20-30 mins a day (maybe can focus on the session opening time). Slowly you will build up the foundation.
Be honest: How many times have you tried to catch a falling knife just to prove you could snipe the exact bottom? 🔪📉
We’ve all done it.
Price is dropping down strongly, and instead of respecting the momentum, our brain whispers: "It's way too oversold, I'm going to buy the exact bottom!"
Stop #1 hit.
Stop #2 hit.
Stop #3 hit.
The market doesn't pay you to be a hero who steps in front of a free-fall. It pays you to wait until the selling pressure actually dries up and structure shifts bullish.
Let's share the experience if you learned the hard way never to catch a falling knife! 👇
@SJosephBurns Agree. Try the hardest but result is not what we desired is much better than regretting in the future thinking why we don't try harder in the past.
