A startup spent 8 months building their product with microservices.
14 services.
Kubernetes.
API gateway.
Service mesh — the whole setup.
They had 3 developers… and zero users.
By month 9, nobody could deploy anything without breaking something else.
Trading is not for everyone.
You need:
- Confidence
- Consistency
- Self-discipline
- Self-awareness
- 3-5 years of daily battles against yourself
Trading is not for weak people.
Sunday deadline to stop a foreclosure and save our home, but we are holding onto hope. Seeing how incredibly strong my daughter is during her procedure right now gives us the strength to keep fighting. We just need to keep a safe roof over my kids' heads. https://t.co/2xo0KNcquZ
How many people use social media?
A lot right?
Far more engagements in social media than trades in a day.
Yet they manage just fine, culling content, influencing your spending, lure you to porn, gambling sites, sexting, videos and games... by the same Algo.
Why do you experience apprehension when it comes to the same control measures and influence in the Rich Man's playground?
Maturity brings with it acceptance and then exploitation and consumption of the weak and unlearned.
That's Trading, like it or not... you are either the Wolf or the lamb, the Lion or the gazelle.
Make your choice, it's Suppertime...
There was a time I’d blow accounts. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown that. Now my accounts stay alive. They’re even in profit but progress feels painfully slow.
Some days I recover from drawdown.
Other days I give back some profit.
Then I recover again.
It’s easy to look at social media and wonder why everyone else seems to be winning while your own journey feels like it’s’s moving in slow motion.
I realized something.
My biggest problem wasn’t just strategy, it was consistency.
Whenever I lost, I’d disappear. I’d stop trading, stop showing up and lose momentum.
I stopped doing that
I take the loss, come back the next day and stick to my plan.
Maybe that’s how real consistency is built, not in the weeks where everything goes right but in the weeks where you refuse to quit.
I’ll keep showing up.
Just finished Trading in The Zone book:
luv the last paragraph
I would tell you Goodluck, but if you follow your rules and stay disciplined you won’t need luck🔥💯
The secrets to effective & consistent profitability:
1) Adhere to a simple model.
2) Know what you want to make and it feeds you, leave something on just in case you were wrong about how much more.
3) Don't ask others for opinions, analysis or tips.
4) Manage Risk impeccably - ALWAYS.
5) Don't chase new things after you found your model.
6) Allow others to hold opinions - even if they are diametrically opposed to yours.
7) Unless you run a signal service, keep your opinions to yourself.
8) Make your bread, eat and go live for the day and find ways to bless others with it.
Anything else is BS.
