The more you matured as a trader, the more you achieve, the more profitable you become, the less the urge to do things to seek for validation.
You will just be making your money low-key, achieve what you work for, enjoy life without the need for validation...
#Focus
People are making fun of someone for taking two years to pass a challenge. What's wrong with that? lol
My first ever 5 figure payout came from a @FundedNext account that took me almost two years to pass as well because I had almost given up on myself and didn't trust myself to trade with that amount of money yet, so I studied and I studied until I was ready again. I had two years of sleepless nights wondering if I was ever going to be successful. I am not ashamed that it took me 2 years to pass a challenge and that I cried myself to sleep every night trying to delude myself that I will make money in trading.
His timeline is different than yours. Your timeline is different from everyone else's and YOU walk your own path. Never give up!
You can take away all that you are but never take your own belief off of yourself.
Keep working hard! :)
When you feel like it is hard or too difficult...
Remind yourself that you are probably asking for more than is required.
Find a price that seems so obvious to reach for, and aim for it.
If you can't locate or determine that, sit still.
This will correct 80% of your troubles.
7. Gluttony (Information Overload)
You have 10 indicators on your chart and follow 20 different "gurus." You are so overwhelmed with conflicting information that you can't make a clear decision.
6. Lust (Addiction to Action)
You can't stand being out of the market. You feel a constant need to be in a trade, so you overtrade out of boredom and bleed your account with commissions and small losses.
the trades that feel the most natural to you are the ones most aligned with your discretion
when you feel like you are forcing a trade, it’s not the trade for you
in a market with an abundance of opportunity, use your intuition as a filter
in trading, you choose your own struggles
being patient for opportunity is difficult,
but so is blowing accounts on forced setups
ending the day after a loss is difficult,
but so is adding to an unnecessary drawdown
managing a trade properly is difficult,
but so is prematurely closing on winning setups
spending time refining one system is difficult,
but so is remaining confused with random concepts
all these things are difficult
but you decide which one to accept
the one that creates results,
or the other that keeps you down
there is no excuse because you already understand the choice
the discomfort must be faced and action must be taken
it may be difficult in the days,
but it brings consistency in the months and years
