One the darkest traits in trading psychology that I’ve noticed in some people is the fact that some motherfuckers will self sabotage on purpose because they know deep down if they achieve a payout then fail to continually sustain it then that pain will be 1000x more brutal
@naeteyy Apex just approved me for a payout as well, never had an issue with them. Kept the account alive for 88 trading days. Got it back in December. The problem was always me that was holding it back
No trading strategy is profitable. You are profitable.
The only way to make money trading is spend 2+ years watching the charts EVERY SINGLE DAY.
You build market experience and trading intuition.
No guru will tell you this, because it wouldnt sell their trading course, but this is the reality of how to become profitable.
one of the hardest truths in trading
every day looks similar
but behaves differently
same setup
different outcome
because every moment is unique
that’s why discretion beats memorization
and screen time beats theory
adapt or keep getting humbled
The trader managing 40 prop firm accounts doesn’t sleep as much as a normal person because he’s operating on a different level and he understands he has duties to wake up for and manage his time properly.
I bet you wouldn’t sleep more than 5 hours tomorrow if I gave you a $100k account right now, because you'd be too excited to trade it, pass it and get funded because now you have something important to wake up for.
That 9 year old kid can't sleep on weekends because he's too excited to wake up, play outside with friends, play video games and enjoy life, and those things are far more exciting than sleeping.
Sleeping more is an escape from reality, and you only want to escape reality if your reality is shit.
But if your reality is too exciting, sleeping will feel gay.
Make your reality exciting, become extremely profitable, and win.
You can sleep later.
@aw_trades_ Took a huge loss on 4 funded accounts because of Tradovate today. Somehow another funded that I took the same trade on closed for profit but it would not let me close the position for awhile
