in 2022, I lost 80% of my net worth in one night

I was already hitting consistent mid 4 to 5-figure months trading

at the time, I was living in Bangkok, technically “studying” engineering

in reality, I was traveling around SEA, partying nonstop, and only showing up to uni for exams

then came that night, I remember it vividly

I was on a small island in the Gulf of Thailand, partying, when I opened twitter around 2am and saw the first news about FTX withdrawals being held

I thought, “yeah, probably just some FUD again, nothing new in crypto,” and grabbed another beer

the next day I woke up in the afternoon, completely forgotten about the rumors, until I checked twitter again and saw it everywhere

no one could withdraw their money anymore

even if I wanted to, I couldn’t, my 2FA device was back in my apartment in Bangkok

most of my savings, prop firm payouts, and crypto investments were sitting on FTX, basically my bank account

so there I was, walking to my scuba diving lesson, literally underwater while my net worth was too

I had about a month left in Thailand before flying home

I got two options: complain about it, or lock in during christmas and January to make it all back

when I got home, I went all in

I had over 100 trades journaled from the previous year, all from a system that felt too mechanical, too restrictive

I knew I needed a more discretionary approach that would let me express my edge fully

so I analyzed every data point I had

locked in for 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week, only leaving the house for the gym

studying charts, refining entries, optimizing risk management, breaking down what my winners and losers had in common, worked on my routines and processes

by the end of Q1, I had rebuilt my entire system, and started applying it live

my precision with reading orderflow was more precise than ever

I knew exactly what conditions were low-probability for my system and sat out, my returns reflected that discipline

my discipline hit an all-time high, following my rules no matter how I felt

because I knew one emotional slip could cost me everything

most traders tell themselves, “I’ll start being disciplined tomorrow, just this one trade, it looks good”

that’s exactly why you’re stuck

you keep revenge trading, over-risking, avoiding journaling

because the pain of staying the same isn’t greater than the pain of change - yet

you only truly evolve after you’ve hit rock bottom

if you’re always comfortable, you’ll never grow

over the next months, I kept refining my approach, and that final version became what you now know as the 4-Step Protocol

a discretionary trading system built on structured funnels, refined over hundreds of live trades

I made it all back, and more - and even got most of my money back from FTX earlier this year

moved to Dubai recently and sitting in a taxi to Abu Dhabi as we speak, reflecting over the last few years

in hindsight, that night was one of the best things that ever happened to me

it made me the trader, and the person, I am today

but still, fuck you sam

disappear for 6 months

delete distractions

become a student of your own system

track every trade, every thought, every emotion

master your routine

refine your execution

study price like scripture

treat your journal like a blueprint

protect your capital like your life depends on it

detach from outcomes

submit to process

rebuild your discipline

rewire your identity

this is enigma

[Arijit @TraderArijit]

@joker_szn That's what I'm doing rn.

[david @joker_szn]

read this every day

before you sleep
before the session opens
every time you feel like doing dumb shit

trick your brain until it becomes your subconscious identity

[david @joker_szn]

this will be a game-changer for your trading once understood properly

and yes, you can take trades ahead of NFP, as explained in the vid

[david @joker_szn]

your mind is tricking you into thinking backtesting creates certainty

and that certainty guarantees success, but that’s a fallacy

@joker_szn Enjoy your day G

@TheRealSam1_ @wallstrtleo @t0mbfx Okay

[david @joker_szn]

if I were starting over - here’s what 6 years of trading taught me

[david @joker_szn]

a steadily growing equity curve doesn’t come from forcing wins

it comes from protecting downside and skipping mediocre trades

knowing when to go BE and avoid a loss is more valuable than chasing a forced win

your job is to survive until the high-quality setups show up
