Traders fail because they’re unprepared for execution under pressure.
I’m a hypnotherapist and funded trader. I focus on preparation, state control, and repeatable decision-making.
If you’re serious about your trading as a performance discipline, you’ll find useful notes here.
closing out the month. simple reminder.
you have one life. one shot. no respawns. no save points. this isnt a drill and there is no practice round.
every day you spend not building the thing you want to build is a day you dont get back. and nobody is coming to save you. nobody is going to tap you on the shoulder and hand you the life you want.
you have to go get it. aggressively. relentlessly. with zero apology.
its all cringe until it fucking works.
lock in. march is coming. make it count.
If you trade without strict rules, you are finished.
You will 100% lose all your money, it's just a matter of time.
If you want a real chance at making it in this game..
Stop relying on intuition.
Stop guessing.
Stop trying to feel the market.
Just write down your rules and follow them with absolute, merciless discipline, as if your life depends on it, because it does.

@MichaelPThelen@DopaminePlsMe Every morning before coffee, I climb the steep country lane outside my house. It takes 55 mins (total) and gets the heart pumping. Cold, warm, wet or dry it doesn't matter. Every morning I'm on a secret mission to tap the lamp post at the top of the lane. I have to succeed!
@MichaelPThelen@DopaminePlsMe Every answer to your question is wrong (they don't know how, but social media rewards chatter).
To do this, turn every effortful task into a game. Not via an app; create your own internal exciting story. Be a spy, an Olympian, a Jedi! Make the challenge glamorous and critical.
Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
Andy Reid shares the 4 rules for being successful in life.
"Life is going to throw you some curveballs, all of us, and you're not going to bail. You're going to stand in there and you're going to keep swinging."
These rules aren't just football advice - they're a blueprint for life.
1: Eliminate distractions - Focus on what matters. Cut the noise.
2: Create energy - Don't wait for motivation. Generate it.
3: Fear nothing - Doubt and hesitation kill more dreams than failure ever will.
4: Attack everything - Play offense with your life. Don't react - initiate.
They are all rooted in focus, action, resilience, and consistency.
It's about ownership and living on purpose.

Do hard things. Because there’s nothing better than a hard-earned win. The pain. The struggle. The grit. And then, the reward. The feeling of knowing that you paid the cost of entry for the thing you wanted to achieve. Hard things are good for the soul.
The ability to unhook yourself from your thoughts and feelings can be practised and developed. Listen to any successful person and they all say the same thing: get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable.
The best traders ARE NOT smarter than you
They just made the decision that their plan is more important than their emotions
They are not robots
We feel the same emotions as you
But understand you can feel one way and act another
Understand this and prosper
