The market won't always give you what you want. If you are going for 1:3r and the market is presenting only a 1:1r opportunity , there's nothing you can do about it.
This game is more about taking what is realistic, rather than hoping your expectations come to reality.
A sniper does not think, “After waiting this long, it would be a waste not to fire.”
If there is no need to shoot, they go home with a full magazine.
That is what makes them a sniper, and that is the job.
A profitable trader in his 5th yr can share his mistakes for his 4yrs of unprofitability and it still won't help you.
You can't borrow experience you have to earn it.
Trading is not real bro.
You can be a bum struggling to afford a haircut for 2 years…
And year 3 you’re making more money than the fucking barbershop.
If you're still a bum don’t quit.
I promise you…
This life is realistic.
Have faith.
Please listen to me

Pretend you are a sniper and you ONLY have two bullets!
This will save you more amounts of money than any psychology video ever
The greatest wisdom is knowing what you do not understand.
Many people think, "I have rules" and "I already understand enough about trading."
Then why are you still not consistent?
Why do you think your emotions are the problem?
If you still see a loss taken according to your rules as a failure to avoid, it is natural to want to escape that loss.
What you need to reconsider is not your emotions, but the meaning you assign to the loss.
Even if you can explain that "losses are part of the system," if your actions still aim to avoid them, that understanding has not yet taken root.
When you become a mature trader and look back on where you are now, you will think,
"I understood nothing at all. My intellectual understanding was not even understanding. Emotions were never the problem."
Be humble and face the gaps in your understanding that your actions reveal.
Do not let "I already understand" stop you from growing.
After months of depression, anxiety, hundreds of applications, rejections, interviews, cold emails, networking, follow-ups, self doubt, and breakdowns…… I finally got my first job, which I didn’t even apply for 🥲
Having a great instrument does not make you a great musician.
No matter how great your system is, it means nothing if the person using it lacks consistency and cannot follow the rules.
Conversely, if you truly have a system with an edge, all you need to do is execute it consistently.
But that consistency is created by "the kind of preparation you have done."
It is not a personality problem or a nervous system problem.
This is important, so I will say it again.
"The kind of preparation you have done" creates your consistency.
If you still lack consistency, there is probably something fundamentally wrong with your preparation, or it simply is not enough.
Conversely, that means this is the part you need to get right.
