What hurts traders the most is trading what they think should happen instead of trading what’s actually happening.
This is one of the biggest pitfalls of retail traders.
I gotta say man.
I was super skeptical of IFVG and thought they were just ass.
But after going through some of @DodgysDD content.
I realized I was wrong.
That shit is super ass.
You should try to add to a trade that is confirming your thesis, provided the addition fits your plan, the upside is still asymmetric, and risk remains controlled.
Or more simply: when you believe you have the market by the balls, squeeze them harder.
I learned how to trade during one of the hardest times in my life.
I was being evicted, I had no income and lost my job due to injuries + awaiting surgery, I was skipping meals while food was running low for my kids, I had failed them as a father.
I knew that I needed to do something different if I wanted radical change in my life.
I knew that my discipline had to match my desperation.
I was broken and wanted to give up but vulnerable lives were depending on me.
I couldn’t let my kids see me down for too long and that is when I put on strength as a man.
I wasn’t online like these unprofitable bums hating on other traders who made it.
I wasn’t scheming to create products in this space to fake the skill.
I deleted all of my socials and went to find my answer in the charts.
I didn’t learn from anyone other than the market.
The Market was my mentor as I had no mentor.
I pulled on the strength and desire to want to give my family a good life and I found the answer in the markets.
I spent 16hrs, 7 days a week for 4 months straight relentlessly on screens and backtesting.
What I came out with created my comeback story.
My kids saw me at my lowest point and they watched daddy rise from the rubble of his own destruction.
They now know that you can make it back from anything.
This is also why I don’t play with people, especially men in this space when it comes to learning.
There’s no way in hell that you have lives depending on you and you’re on here wasting time, watching entertainment, playing video games, in everyone’s business but the one that pays you yet you claim to want to be a trader.
You claim you’re doing this for your family while arguing under democrat and republican tweets.
Get the hell off of the internet if your life is falling apart and GO STUDY.
Everyone will be here when you get back and most people will be in the same place that you left them.
If you’re truly doing this for your Loved ones, HONOR THEM by isolating and fixing the very thing they depend on… YOU!
Do what you NEED to do now so you can do what you WANT to do later.
I don’t regret all the time that I missed with others while pursuing this.
I don’t regret not having balance while learning.
I can now balance my checkbook and give my kids anything they want in the world because of the sacrifice that I made to learn a timeless and generational skill.
If you can’t repeat those words, you need to get off the internet right now because you are failing them with your choices to be here and not locked in.
I outpaced inflation by a long shot and I love the opposite of most people in life that I know.
If you want to live the opposite of others, you have to do the opposite of others.
Do the hard thing NOW so it can be easy later on.
I can be hardcore but I truly want everyone to win… I’ll just never lie to you about your chances of winning with habits of a loser.

One kid & his little team demolishing this entire fraud system is a massive indicator of the extreme idiocy & incompetence of our current mainstream journalism companies. No surprise there, but it’s great to see these pieces of shit getting locked up.
