@dom_lucre The line that separates day and night is called the terminator and also the "twilight zone.
Here you can say night and day together, on the left it's still day (the sun is still shining) and on the right it's already a dark night with the moon.
Every trading strategy or setup has a failure rate.
When you learn to accept that, you stop assuming the next trade is going to be a winner.
This alone will help you stop over trading, over leveraging, and revenge trading.
You wouldn’t be breaking your rules if you had 500 backtested trades proving your edge
But you don’t, which is why you break your rules
Because you’re not sure if your system actually even works in the long-term
You’re not new to trading anymore.
You know the basics.
You’ve studied strategies.
You’ve watched countless videos.
You’ve even had moments where things click.
But you’re still stuck.
Not blowing every account, but not consistent either.
Making some progress, but nothing life changing.
You keep telling yourself you’re “almost there”…
But deep down, you know you’ve been stuck in this phase for way too long.
Why?
Because you’re comfortable in the middle.
Not winning, not losing just surviving.
Taking trades with half-conviction.
Watching the charts without a plan.
Saying you’re focused, but constantly distracted.
Claiming you’re dedicated, but avoiding the real work: tracking, reviewing, refining.
This limbo is the most dangerous place to be in.
Because it tricks you into thinking you’re doing something.
But nothing’s changing.
Same habits. Same mistakes.
Same hope that next month will be different.
But next month won’t be different.
Not unless you change.
You don’t need more time.
You need more intention with the time you already have.
You need to treat your trading like it’s already a business not some hobby you’ll get serious about “eventually.”
You’re not “almost there.”
You’re just looping.
Because you’ve mistaken awareness for execution.
You know what’s wrong but you’re not doing what’s right.
You know your mistakes but you’re not holding yourself accountable.
That’s why you stay stuck.
Trading won’t reward you for knowledge.
It rewards you for transformation.
And transformation doesn’t come from more information.
It comes from doing the hard, boring, disciplined shit you keep avoiding.
So here’s your reality check:
You’re not early in your journey anymore.
You don’t need more tips or more signals or more setups.
You need a standard.
And if you don’t raise it now you’ll still be here a year from now, just with more screen time and more frustration.
So stop chasing the “next level.”
And start becoming the version of you who trades at that level today.
Or stay in limbo forever.
Trading full-time sounds cool until:
•You’re in drawdown
•Rent’s due
•You’re forcing trades to pay your expenses
This game punishes desperation
Having an income outside of the charts will level up your trading

Cleared my soft breach account again, hope to have my first prop payout 🤞🏻✨
Thank you @AlexQuantTekel for the opportunity.
This is an unfair reason for a breach.
I haven’t even traded on EURO that day and my account is breached, shouldn’t the news be for all pairs to make a breach ?
Almost all news have geopolitical decision in their discription. Please change this!
