Don't give up on trading until you’ve built a proper system and followed it with discipline for at least a year. You may have what it takes and it takes time to see if you have the needed skills.
When you feel like it is hard or too difficult...
Remind yourself that you are probably asking for more than is required.
Find a price that seems so obvious to reach for, and aim for it.
If you can't locate or determine that, sit still.
This will correct 80% of your troubles.
Umar Ashraf noticed a pattern in unprofitable traders.
Every time they had a bad week they went shopping. Not for clothes. For information. New indicators. New strategies. New YouTube videos at midnight trying to figure out what they missed.
He did the same thing early in his career.
Loss after loss — he kept adding more to his system. More confluences. More filters. More rules. Convinced himself that somewhere out there was a piece of knowledge that would finally make everything click.
But one day he stopped and asked himself honestly:
*What am I actually missing?*
And the answer was nothing.
The losses weren't happening because he lacked knowledge. They were happening because some days the market simply cannot be read. No strategy catches it. No indicator predicts it. Even the best traders in the world sit there and think *I have no idea what this is doing.*
Umar still has those days.
But now when it happens he doesn't open more charts. He doesn't start researching. He just accepts it and walks away.
Because chasing answers on a random day doesn't make you smarter. It just makes you more confused.
Unprofitable traders think more information will fix their results.
Profitable traders know that sometimes there is nothing to fix.
Hire the best attorneys and accountants you can afford.
Make connections with local politicians, doctors, electricians, mechanics, etc.
Send them gifts 1-2x a year and reach out to them on holidays & birthdays.
