I know I've been quiet for these past few months. So here's an update.
TLDR: I've stopped trading (for the foreseeable future) and put all my focus into building YT faceless channels.
I quit my job late 2024 to go all-in into trading for the goal of being self sufficient. At that point I had been learning about MTC for about 6 months, and trading for about 3. I was hoping that by the end of 2025, I could turn trading into a full-time gig.
But quitting my job wasn't enough, I needed more stakes, I need some fire up my ass. I needed to burn the boats. Create artificial pressure for myself to succeed. I had saved almost enough to cover my living expenses for 1 year. I didn't even have enough money for the flight back.
So I packed my bags booked a 1 way ticket, left my friends and family, moved to a country that I knew no one, did not speak the language, and had no idea what to expect. But I was committed to one goal, by the end of 2025 I will never ever have to rely on an employer ever again.
I wanted 0 excuses. I convinced myself that If I was to rid of all distractions, if I failed, the only person to blame would be me and no one else.
But as 2025 went by, every day I was slowly met with the realization that with my working capital, and the amount of the time, and the amount of experience that I currently have, I would not achieve that goal with trading as the vehicle (also coupled with the fact that I truly truly did not enjoy staring at charts 24/7, but that's a whole other story we don't have to get into right now)
So instead of giving up, calling it quits. I took a few weeks break, used the time to reset, re-evaluate my values. What I truly want out of my life.
Then I pivoted.
I went back to what I knew best, content creation, I had been doing it since I was 12. It was finally time that I stopped working for other people and use what I knew to build something for myself.
"If you don't know what to do, use what you know first"
and a very wise man once said "Plan fail, change plan, never change the goal"
I can safely say that after 3 months of working on my YT channel, I will never have to ever consider having to call someone else my boss ever again in my life.
I say all this to say that, although I will be no longer posting anymore content related to trading, I still am extremely grateful for the people I've met so far in this community, and the time that I spent learning MTC.
But from now on I'll be only posting stuff about YT or general mindset stuff that pops up in my head like I've been doing sporadically.
(feel free to unfollow if you don't want any non-trading content on your feed) No hard feelings.
