Quantifying the part traders ignore: psychology

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

since this page was inactive, let me introduce myself properly.

i'm shiyaw. 21 years old, dutch, living in dubai. been in the markets for over 5 years now.

quick background so you know who you're reading.

my dad left kurdistan with nothing because it wasn't safe anymore. gave up everything so his 8 kids could have a shot at a better life in europe. we grew up with no money. to this day i don't know how he made groceries work every week. but he always made it work. that became my standard. i needed to make it work too.

i started at 16. insecure kid who started going to the gym because of motivational tiktoks, and somewhere in that rabbit hole i found trading. did crypto for a year. didn't work, i simply had no real capital. switched to forex because prop firms let me trade real size without real savings.

at 18 i still wasn't making consistent money from trading. so instead of quitting i built a video agency making content for businesses in my city. that cashflow funded my trading until it could stand on its own. the day i turned 20 i closed that chapter, moved to dubai, and went all in. that was february 2025. still here.

how i trade: supply and demand combined with liquidity. that's it. no 14 confluences, no indicator soup. i became consistent the day i stopped overcomplicating things, and most of what i post here is exactly that. simple execution, knowing where liquidity sits, and the mindset to actually follow your own rules. because that last part decides everything.

what i'm not doing here: no signals. no managing your money. no promises you'll quit your job by friday. i'm also not interested in influencer drama. i use this page to dump my thinking on the markets in real time and show you that trading doesn't have to be complicated. people make it complicated so they can sell you the solution.

and the question you're already asking: is this just another course seller? i run a private community called the formula. i won't pretend i don't. but it's not a course. it's a small group of serious traders building consistency together. 3 group calls a week and direct 1 on 1 access to me. we filter hard for people who actually put in the time, because i'd rather keep it small than fill it with people who don't.

everything else i know, i post here for free.

if you want to learn how price actually moves, where liquidity sits, and the discipline to trade it, stick around.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

you don't lose because the strategy is bad.

you lose because you moved your stop, added to the loser, and called it conviction.

the edge was never the setup. it's whether you follow it on the day it scares you.

discipline is the strategy. the rest is decoration.

GM,

Are we gonna take out the low on $EURUSD ?

What do you guys think?

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

New week. Same mission.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

5 years ago I had nothing but time and hunger. Turns out that's enough.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

The market will always give you another opportunity. Your account won't if you blow it chasing one.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Sunday reset. Week ahead.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Wealth is built in the boring moments. Show up anyway.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Dubai doesn't care where you started. Only where you're going.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Your losers teach you more than your winners ever will. Pay attention to them.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

No office. No boss. No alarm.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Two pairs. One strategy. Repeat. That's the whole game.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Consistency over 2.5 years. That's what it took to get here.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

The hardest part of trading isn't finding setups. It's doing nothing when there aren't any.

[Shiyaw @ShiyawFX]

Week done. Booked. On to the next.
