Studying @moneytaur_

[Gian Luca @materagian]

Ever caught yourself saying “I can’t afford that” even when you kinda could and felt a weird in your stomach?

That’s not really about the money. It's about attachment. So lets talk about attachment PART 1.

Here’s something wild most people don’t know:
When you were born, you only had two real fears
falling and loud noises. That’s it.

Every other fear you feel today?
Fear of losing money.
Fear of failing.
Fear of not being “good enough.”
Fear of wanting too much.
You learned all of them. Mostly from being attached. Attachment is like super gluing your happiness to a certain outcome.

You see something you want (new shoes, a trip, even just peace of mind) and your brain immediately goes: But what if I don’t have enough? What if I lose it? What if people judge me?

In trading it’s the same.
You’re in a good setup but your hands start shaking because you’re attached to the money you could lose… or the “perfect win” you think you need to prove you’re smart. The second you get attached, fear shows up and messes with your decisions.
Now imagine the opposite.What if you still worked hard, still took smart trades, still wanted nice things… but you weren’t attached to any of it?

You did your best and then let the result be whatever it is. No freak out if it doesn’t go your way.
That’s what happens when you let go of attachment. The fear starts to melt.A simple example:

You want a new bike that costs $3000.
Your brain says “No way, that’s too much.”
But if your friend offered to give you that exact same bike for free tomorrow… suddenly it feels easy. Nothing changed about the bike.
Only your attachment changed.
That tension you felt? It was never about the $300. It was about what you believe you’re allowed to have.

So here’s a question for you right now:
What do you personally think is “a lot of money”?
$1,000? $10,000? $100,000? A million?Notice how your body feels when the number gets bigger.

That little squeeze of doubt? That’s your learned attachment talking.
Another example there is a first class flight for 10k $. And your mind immediately tells you, that's to expensive. You cannot outperform your subconscious identity. It will always slow you down and sabotage your Life. Sit with this example and really think about it, how attached you are to that number.

Your mind is the one that made it scary. The more you notice these hidden beliefs about money and success, the easier it gets to loosen the grip. But trust me even I sometimes trip out about a 250$ parking fine, and then moments later I realize, yeah whatever I am not attached to this amount.

You don’t have to stop wanting things.
You just stop needing them to go exactly the way your fear tells you they “should.” Oh but I thought that new macbook only costs 500$ instead of 3500$. Its all subconscious.

What are you attached to right now that’s quietly making you anxious?

Things I wish I knew before I started blowing all these accounts Part 5

Some mornings I open my laptop, look at the chart for five seconds, and close it again.
Not because the setup is bad. My head is somewhere else. I am tired. Something is going on in my life. Whatever it is, my body already knows I should not be clicking buttons that cost money.
My rule is simple. If I cannot accept losing today, I do not trade today.

Most of you will not survive this game because you cannot do this one thing

One of the biggest lies in trading is that you have to be in the market all the time. Every candle. Every tick. Every little wiggle is an opportunity you cannot afford to miss.

Addiction does not just make you trade more. It makes you trade when you should not. And overtrading is the big problem here. When you are unprofitable and take more then 2 trades a day, guess what?
There is a reason and its you!

If you actually know your strategy, the moments where you should not trade are obvious.
It is not about finding more setups. It is about having the balls to say "this is not my setup" and close the laptop.

Big Red folder news days. Price swings hundreds of points for no reason. Your edge is gone. You sit there refreshing the chart anyway because your brain is screaming "I have to catch this move". MORE DOPAMINE PLEASE!!!

You will not catch it. You will bleed.

Even on normal days the lie shows up in a quieter way. You stare at the 1 minute chart looking for HOBs and FVGs and orderblocks and any other nonsense term you come up with.
You draw random Supplyzones with zero context.
That is not a strategy or a Edge btw :)

Real price action starts to look "boring" to you. You complain to your friends "omg this PA is so ass today".

Translation: I have no idea what is going on and I am annoyed because the market is not giving me the rollercoaster my brain wants!!!

To anyone who has been doing this for years that sentence is hilarious lmao.

Sometimes the professional move is to do absolutely nothing. The chart is messy. The market is ranging. Nothing aligns with your HTF bias.
That is not a problem with the market. That is the market telling you to stay out.

Sitting on your hands is part of the edge.
ull never build this muscle because u are addicted to the feeling of being in it.

The reasons to stay out go beyond the charts though.
You feel sick. You are tired for whatever reason. Something major is going on in your life. Your head is somewhere else. These have nothing to do with the market and everything to do with you being the wrong mind to play today.

Trading is a performance sport. You would not walk into a championship fight with the flu, exhausted, or while your mind is at home with a problem. The market does not care about your situation. Your account will.

Protecting your mental state is the same job as protecting your capital. Most traders never figure that out because their brain told them sitting out is "losing time". Sitting out is the trade.

Three questions before every single click
Does this setup actually match my rules? the classic one we all should do
Am I taking this because the market is offering me an edge, or because I am bored, tired, or distracted and just need dopamine?
Would I still take this trade if the next one was 30 days away?

If even one answer is no, you close the chart. You go for a walk. You protect your capital. You protect the version of you that has to show up tomorrow! And this is the habit of becoming the trader you want.

The real skill in trading is not knowing when to click!!!!
It is knowing when to do nothing and being completely at peace with it!!

When was the last time you closed the platform on a perfectly normal trading day because you knew you were not in the right state?? or do you think pros watch 24/7 like u do haha?

[Gian Luca @materagian]

I am so close to becoming profitable, I can feel it.

One of the biggest delusional quotes I heard, probably like 100 times.
I am saying this with love. I was you for a long time lol.

Three winning trades feel like proof. Three losers feel like bad luck.
Both are noise when you have less than a year in the game and under 200 real money trades behind you.

The market does not care about what you feel or your opinion.
Remember when you were telling everyone ur three months from quitting ur job?!
I was not even close from understanding how wrong that sentence was.
You do not have an edge yet. You have beginner luck and a fantasy. There is a difference.

Real traders are not "close". Most have blown at least one account, usually two or three or more prop firms accs. They have sat through 15 trade losing streaks that made them physically sick.

They have deleted their Twitter at midnight, thrown a keyboard across the room, and still showed up the next day because the only thing worse than losing is quitting and admitting they were never cut out for it.

You are still in the easy phase where every green trade is "skill" and every red one is the algos or the market maker hunting my stops xDDD

Quick reality check
The algos do not know you exist. You are not being hunted. You are a small retail fish in a tank full of sharks who have been doing this for 10 to 30 years.
They are not chasing your 1 Contract on NQ. They do not need to.

So here is what you actually do.
Print your last 100 trades. Real money trades only. Circle every one where you moved your Stop 2 breakeven aka SL2BE like a pussy. Circle every one where you took profit early. Circle every one where you revenge traded after a loss. Look at the P&L next to those circled trades. Then tell me with a straight face that you are "so close"!
You are not. You are exactly where every 6-to-24 month trader is. Lying to yourself. Broke and desperate for money.

If you actually want to make it, and most of you do not,
Backtest for hours until you are sick of it,
Size so small it feels insulting and your like but I want to make money.
Journal every single trade. And you heard this 100 times but get super precise with your journaling.

And accept right now that even if you do everything right, you might still be bad at this for another two to three years.
That is the reality. Not the "I can feel it" bs.

I am not saying this to crush you.
I am saying it because I crushed myself for to long by believing the same fantasy you are believing right now.

Every month I lost was a month I could have been on the slow path that actually works. Nobody told me to take the slow path. So I am telling you.

Are you ready to be bad for two more years, or do you still think you are "so close" like every other beginner before you?

[Piu @VictorPiufiu]

@Albert_618 Played the 2h-90m-1h GER40 bearish bbs with entry after micro tf bos but entry was too late and then not adding at the retest of micro TF eq and also not a clear TP strategy and closed way too early on the first 2m bb. Tired and mentally drained so yeah, it is what it is.

You haven't reached your full potential yet because you've been sticking to what your parents, your financially unsuccessful friends, and your school teachers taught you. They told you to get a job, pay the bills, start a family, and wait for retirement.

To break free from the usual, you need to aim higher and keep pushing. Don't just do what everyone else does, and if your life is financially average or poor you must do something different from what you've been doing for the last several years. And if your excuse will be "i'm too old", then just give up for good already. The world will reward you based on the value you can provide to it, regardless of your age. And if it's not to achieve milestones in life, to conquer your fears and your biggest dreams, why even be here? Just drifting around waiting for your last day?...

It's time to move past the "I need a job" mindset, or "I need more money so I will ask my boss to give me more hours of work". You must start thinking of ways to never rely on a job again, and to take control of your time instead of selling it for little money. Buy time, and then use it wisely. Use it to improve yourself, mentally and physically.

Pick a field with no limits on what you can earn, master a valuable skill in it, and take charge of your path. Avoid following the traditional path because it is outdated.

@Donjim95 Imagine your last line being treated as “just the last line”…..game over

[🎯 Master @Moneytaur_]

Next year's misinformation will be overwhelming if you let it in.

Disconnect from every "For you" feed on your social platforms. You don't need personalized content. You need clarity to recognize manipulation, resist emotional traps, and stay rational when narratives are engineered to provoke fear, outrage, or blind compliance.

If you won't do it for yourself, do it for the people who depend on you.

The "matrix" will intensify. Only those who deliberately step back will see straight.

Avoid the Majority

If you want to avoid the confirmation bias and the comforting consensus of the herd you must face the reality and be against most of the others.

It's not to hurt anybody but it is your life. In trading I recognized pretty fast how important that is.

You saw me leaving crypto immediately after I understood the basics of Moneytaurs teachings.

I started inventing my own style against all odds and went on low timeframes. I take trades where nobody is in, cause it makes me feel super comfy. No noise. No discussion. Nothing. Just me and the candles.

Yeah higher timeframes are "easier" but on the HTFs you often are surrounded by analysis that have influence on your decision making. Now I grab cash on low and middle timeframes and snowball it in simple HTF stock plays. My style. Zero opinions from other people.

A lot of people I talked to had issues with taking their own ideas because Twitter User XYZ had a different view. I advised them to try to inverse it. Did you ever journal how often the majority fails? Did you ever just countertrade them? I like to look at plans and psychology of majorities and use them counter indicator. The market runs on emotions and psychology.

It's hard to bet against those who you learnt from. It's a mental barrier you have to overcome. You don't hurt anybody if you go your own way. On social media you simply don't know if the analyst you rely on makes money.

And there are many. Many who are lost in predicting. Many who joined a loop that is anything but trading. Some use a stop loss so wide it should be called stop gains (props to @CryptoElPres for that sentence).

But because you sympathize with them and feel connected you join them. Its subconscious. It gives security but it won't grow your account.

Your account grows when you leave the majority. It might feel like everybody prints endless amounts of money - but thats not the reality. Most can't even pass a prop firm challenge. And thats okay. But you can.

Once again I say - cut the noise. And if you are not sure about your plan you are simply lacking confidence. Thats fine, but don't look for confirmation or invalidation in other peoples posts.

I always motivate people to trade their own ideas. When someone on stream shares an idea that I don't "like" I advise them always to trade them no matter what I say. I simply don't know what happens, and to play your probabilistic edge you must trade your plan.

Yes some copy trade me, some on X and some in the Group, thats why I always update on my plans and trades. Most of them are fast, still I find the 2 seconds to say - "I TP". And I do that so people can make $ yes - but even more to learn the game. To not rely on the majority.

Different kind of post today, a recognition one for my homie, Daxbert for how far he's come.

I’ve been following him for over a year, back when I’d just started posting on X. I called him one of my favorites early on and now, I get to say I told you so.

Watching someone turn their life around from rock bottom to become the trader he is today is nothing short of inspiring. His growth is a product of relentless effort and perseverance and he deserves recognition, at the very least.

I’ve seen his evolution firsthand, from early posts to his executions, timestamps, detailed breakdowns, trade preps, recaps, and now live trading streams. The progress is undeniable. Some may not like to hear it, but the speed of his development puts him in the top percentile of evolving traders. That said, this isn’t to be used for comparison by others, just a fact from over a year of observation.

I can’t say I understand the full weight of what he’s overcome, simply because I didn't go through what he did, but it’s clear that his past fuels his drive.

And for those who know me, I don’t promote what I don’t personally use or believe in. I’ve never taken affiliate deals or paid partnerships; my word isn’t for sale. Unless I’m directly involved in something I can stand behind, I’d rather keep my content unbiased.

That said, I respect creators who genuinely add value. Everyone deserves to be paid for their work, what I disagree with is earning money off others’ losses. Ex: crpyto exchange partnerships (if you work for one, this is your calling to stop pestering my dm's). Even if they come with user perks, the reality is 97% of traders lose, and those commissions come from those losses ("trading volume"). Sure, a few groups like Zero’s handle it right, sharing benefits instead of extracting them, but they’re rare. Maybe my stance is extreme, but that’s how I operate. No shade to anyone else; this is simply my path

Back to what I was saying, If I find something that truly helps, I’ll share it freely. Which brings me to Albert’s group. Less than 3% of traders succeed, and even fewer livestream their trades. This is because most would crumble under the pressure of being fully exposed with no place to hide (if they aren't already crumbling from the pressure of trading)

Having another sharp pair of eyes on the market is invaluable, especially for me, as I prep for my travels and subsequently have less time to plan.

For context, I’ve only ever joined two livestreams, my mentors SMW and Jake Ricci. Albert’s is my third.

You can’t fake growth when you’ve seen it happen in real time and so it comes as no surprise that while I've just been in the group for just over a day, i have already managed to extract great value*. I did however find one thing surprising... there were other individuals present with keen intellect.

Finishing off by Using the words of a wise man that many learned a lot from: “I’ll happily eat my shoe if you don't find value in being a member of his group.”

A long post, but well deserved.
Hats off, my German friend. Keep doing you, Daxbert.

[*Photo for proof, While I do manage and execute trades in my own style, this trade came on my radar thanks to the group. Catching 50 points in 20 minutes on the DAX means I get the luxury of leaving work early and focusing on the office renovations I’m planning for while I'm traveling]
