HAPPY NEW WEEK TRADERS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
You owe yourself consistent profitability more than you owe anyone anything else.
It’s more important than providing signals
It’s more important than the trading content
It’s more important than looking profitable
It’s more important than being known as a trader.
Focus on becoming consistently profitable.
Don’t mix up your priorities
If you don’t have a mind of your own, forget about profitability
If you can’t question popular opinions and filter sense from nonsense, your suffering will be divine.
At the end of the day, there’s nobody above losses.
Not the trader who claims to have holy grail
Not the trader who thinks he/she can’t lose
Not the trader that mocks another trader’s loss
Not the rich/profitable/lifestyle trader
The earlier you accept this, the better for you.
The only traders who don’t lose are the traders who don’t trade fr.

Wow. Amazing.
July was bad for you doesn't mean you're a bad trader
July was good for you doesn't mean you're the best trader
Focus on yourself and compare yourself to no one
More trades feel like more progress — until you look at your equity curve and realize activity was never the same thing as profit.
Busy isn't the goal. Profitable is 💖😊
Same setup
Different convictions
Different trade management
Different results
Your confidence makes the difference and confidence doesn’t come cheap. It’s built trade by trade, from studying to gathering data.
You have to put in the work to build the confidence you need to make the profit you want.
One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a trader is bringing your 9-5 mindset into this skill
By believing you should get paid in proportion to the time you’ve clocked
Just because you’ve sat in front of the charts for 3 hours waiting for a set up does not mean the market owes you
We don’t get paid by the hour here
We get paid for making high quality decisions
@tim_efe_ @The_4thMan This is what I’ll do personally
I don’t use internal beak to confirm direction although internal break can work but it’s not the bigger probability for me so I focus more on the external beak instead
You’re not wrong tho. Internal beak do work but external works better
