A pattern I've noticed in successful men: they disappear from the world for months at a time to force pure focus on themselves and their vision. They laser in on one meaningful goal and make it a reality.
Trading is pretty crazy when you think about it
There is no ass kissing working your way up the corporate later to make decent money
Once you develop the skills you can literally pull in pro athlete salaries on the regular
It's the definition of fuck you money
The system don't want you to win
Win anyway
ICT First Rule of Engagement💡:
Know your draw on liquidity where is price most likely reaching?
Without clear conviction, there is no high-probability trade - stillness is ideal.
Failing to identify the mark in the room makes you the mark.
Failing to identify the next liquidity makes you the liquidity cleared next.
Framing both sides of the market is low probability.
One-sided analysis is the key to low-resistance liquidity runs.
Anything else is coincidence if profitable.
Trade accordingly.
They say trading is gambling.
It is… if you have no edge.
But so is everything else in life.
The difference?
Most people gamble blindly.
I gamble with data, timing, and intention. 🎲
You only have two jobs as a trader:
1. Gather enough data to prove you have a repeatable edge in the market
2. Figure out ways to keep yourself from fucking that edge up
