You’re running in circles in your trading journey because of 1 true reason
You fail to hold yourself accountable.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Am I journaling every execution I take?
- Does my execution have reasoning behind it? (HTF narrative/LTF execution)
- Do I have daily / weekly limitations for losses I take? If I take X amount losses in a day I’m done. If I take X amount of losses in a week I’m done that week
- Am I putting on a comfortable amount of risk on each trade I take?
These are just SOME questions you should be asking yourself if you’re in the phase of “why isn’t this working for me”
I can promise you that when I was going through the ringer in this, I did NONE of the above questions
I had to lose so much to realize that the above questions were my answers the whole time
I don’t even know how I expected to win honestly
My speed and skyrocketing progression came when I lost so much money and blew so many accounts that I was forced to do what the 1% was doing that 99% of you should be.
I had no routine, I would wake up 5 mins before market open, completely disorganized with brain fog and expect to win.
A poorly structured & undisciplined life will lead to poor performance in any profession.

Every trading day is a battle. I am not battling the markets, market info is neutral. I am not battling other traders-not in the pit now. I don't battle the algos, l've learned to let em do the work. I m battling myself. I have to overcome myself daily. I stay out of my own way!
Losing money builds characters and shows you what not to do. Don’t be so afraid to burn it, most people cling to it. Money must be allowed to come and go, don’t fight it’s flow
As you become a more developed trader, losing trades and missed trades will STILL hurt and bother you, maybe a little less than before.
However the only difference is, as a developed trader, you become less likely to react to a missed or losing trade.
You feel the pain and don’t react to it.
That’s the place you want to aim to be in.
Where even if you feel your emotions kick in, you’re able to stay clam and not go on tilt.
U are never gonna become successful if u are low energy
Listening to a podcast and going to ur 9-5 job isn't enough
Everyone is doing that
U need to be attacking harder. Do more shit. Force the pace.
Stop taking trades for the sake of pushing the button.
Create a rule based, step by step protocol to get you into good trades, and keep you out of shitty ones.
Once you do that, the hard part begins, which is sticking to it.
TIMELINE CLEANSE
Entertain the idea it will work out better than you imagined
Entertain the idea every doubt you had was 100% part of your journey but also 100% unnecessary
Entertain the idea you got what it takes
Enterain the idea you will break the cycle, make the change and transform your life and those around you.
The worst thing you can do for your trading is look to see what others are doing.
That’s not your reality.
You can’t transfer their profits into your account, nor their skills into your own systems.
It’s time to tunnel vision and focus 🧘♂️
Ending the week here -12k first red week in a while, last week was a small profit, market conditions are tough.
It's ok to lose, remind yourself of that. No one has a winning 52 weeks of the year, anyone claiming that sadly is a liar.
See you all Monday 🫡
Spend $400 on a fit and nobody blinks an eye.
Spend $400 on Bitcoin and people tell you it’s a scary investment, be careful.
Society trains your mind to stay poor.
It’s easy to out gain 99% of people because this is how they think.
