Personal trading journal, where I'm sharing Trading Tips & Psychology along my journey. Learn2Earn. I’m NOT a Financial Advisor, tweets are my personal opinions
A thread for AIO Key Lessons from Chapter 1 to 11 of "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas. If you don't want to read the whole book, at least should spend less than 20 mins to listen to these key lessons. Otherwise I almost certain that you will NOT be a consistent trader!
A retired Border Patrol veteran with 24 years of experience told Congress that Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas have turned our government into the biggest child s*x trafficking ring in history.
It took me 2 years and many blown accounts to become a profitable trader.
BUT…
Knowing what I know now,
I could’ve been profitable in under 6 months.
Here’s exactly what I’d do to hit my first $10K month as a trader:
You’re not supposed to have it all together.
Life isn’t a straight path—it’s chaos, pain, healing, and growth all mixed together. And that’s okay. You’re learning. You’re becoming.
Stop holding yourself to a standard no one can reach. You’re allowed to be figuring it out. You’re allowed to feel lost sometimes.
What matters is that you keep going. Not that it’s perfect—just that it’s real.
You want to feel good when you click.
You want confidence. Clarity. Certainty.
But trading doesn’t reward comfort.
It rewards action taken through discomfort.
If your system is solid, how you feel should be irrelevant.
But that’s the hard part.
Acting with precision when your emotions are screaming at you to do anything else.
Most traders can’t.
Not because they’re weak, but because they never trained for it.
They journal when they’re calm and collapse when it’s live.
Discipline isn’t a trait.
It’s a practiced response to chaos.
