After 5 years of trading,
You can:
-Open your computer at 8:30
-Trade within the first 90 minutes
-Make over $1000
-Close your computer
-Do whatever you want with the rest of your day
People will say you're gmabling
Others will call you "lucky"
No one will understand 5-10 years of pain, experience and failures.
Keep going.
3 signs you're on your way to profitability:
1. Protecting capital > making money
2. A checklist that filters out garbage trades
3. Risk so dialed that one bad trade means nothing
If this is you, keep going.
If you value your time, you should take trading seriously. Let me explain.
The average person spends their entire life working a 9-5, only to finally have freedom at 65, if they’re lucky. By then, you’ve already spent most of your life working for someone else.
Instead, spend the next 2-3 years learning a skill that has the potential to make you financially free.
Make money on your own time. Travel with your family and friends. Experience life on your terms.
The goal is freedom. Everything else is a bonus.
The hardest part of my trading journey wasn't the losses.
It was watching everyone around me:
-Having fun and enjoying their life
-Building towards something "guruanteed"
-Being viewed as a gambler by friends and families
all while I was still grinding at 5AM, working 2 jobs, blowing up account after account.
For years I felt like I was falling behind at life.
Now I have the freedom to do whatever I want... travel the world and trade for a few hours a day, and those same people are asking me to "put them on".
It might feel like you are "falling behind"
BUT
When you finally get there it will all be worth it.
