HOW 18-YEAR-OLD KID FROM ALBANIA MADE HIS FIRST $10K in 90 DAYS THROUGH TRADING.

No rich parents.

No expensive education.

No connections.

Just a laptop, an internet connection

So he started learning.

DAYS 1–15: LEARN THE BASICS

He studied:

- Calls and puts.

- Strike prices and expiration.

- Delta, Gamma, Theta, and Vega.

- Implied volatility.

- Risk management.

**DAYS 16–30: STUDY THE CHARTS**

He started learning market structure, support, resistance, and breakout patterns.

He stopped trying to predict every move.

DAYS 31–60: TEST HIS KNOWLEDGE

He start paper trading.

Every trade he took went into a journal.

Wins. Losses. Mistakes. Everything.

DAYS 61–90: REVIEW AND IMPROVE

He analyzed his results.

Identified repeated mistakes.

Worked on patience.

And learned that understanding risk was just as important as understanding a setup.

His biggest motivation?

One day, he wanted to give his parents the financial freedom they had worked so hard to give him.

**The real lesson?**

Don't chase someone else's screenshots.

Build the knowledge, discipline, and decision-making skills that can last beyond one winning trade.

your stop loss isn't the problem.

your "just this once" is.

"Just this once I'll move it."
"Just this once I'll hold."
"Just this once it'll come back."

every blown account starts with a "just this once."

most traders try harder next time.
That's the wrong fix.

what works is making "just this once" impossible.

3 steps:

STEP 1: Write the exit BEFORE you enter
STEP 2: Make it hard to break (alerts and real orders, not promises)
STEP 3: Count your "just this once" moments each week

let's break down Step 1. Here's the exact framework:

before you click buy, finish this sentence:

"If price hits ______, I'm out. No discussion."

don't have a number? Don't buy.

put the order in. A real one. Not "I'll do it in my head."

your brain at 10 AM lies to you.
The order doesn't.

once this is automatic, you'll learn the advanced level: picking exits based on how the stock normally moves, planning partial exits, and tracking your "just this once" count over time.

you're cooked in 2026 if you think you need $10,000 to start trading.

you don't. you need 7 days and a plan. here's the week.

DAY 1

open a free paper trading account. fake money, real prices.

DAY 2

learn just two things: up-trend vs down-trend, and "where did price bounce before?"

DAY 3

pick 3 stocks. only 3. put them on a watchlist.

DAY 4

draw the lines on each one. set price alerts.

DAY 5

take your first paper trade. write down why you got in and where you're wrong.

DAY 6

take one more. same rules. same notes.

DAY 7

read both notes back. did you follow your own plan? that's the only score that matters.

if the week felt calm and boring, you're doing it right.

only go live after a month of this, and start tiny.

[Noah @ceoofdelusions]

I'm so tired of watching good traders lose to themselves.

Not to the market. Not to bad luck. To THEMSELVES.

You know the rules. You break them anyway.
Then you feel sick about it.

That's not a knowledge problem. Nobody needs another course.

Most people try to fix it with willpower. That never works.
What works is a system that doesn't depend on how you feel.

3 steps:

STEP 1: Put your rules on paper, where you can't argue with them

STEP 2: Give your bad feelings a stop sign

STEP 3: Score the rules, not the money

Let's break down Step 1. Here's the exact framework:

Write exactly 3 rules. No more.

Example:

1. I decide where I'm wrong before I buy.
2. Two losses and I'm done for the day.
3. I never add to a loser.

Print them. Tape them to your screen.

When you want to break one, you have to look at it first.

That pause saves accounts.

Once this becomes a habit, you can add more tools: a journal to track how you feel, a daily limit that stops you from trading, and a weekly review to see how you're doing.

the traders who stay calm all week usually did the work on sunday.

the stressed ones are making it up as they go.

here's a simple sunday routine and how i'd build it over 90 days.

for anyone who feels rushed and reactive every monday morning.

day 1 (sunday)

open your 3 favorite stocks. daily chart only.
write one line for each: "up, down, or sideways?"

day 2

draw the lines where price bounced before. 2 per stock. that's your map for the week.

day 3

set price alerts at those lines.
now your phone does the watching.

week 1

do the sunday routine again. same 3 stocks.
15 minutes. no more. set a timer.

week 2

add one thing: write what would make you skip a trade this week.
example: "big news day" or "price in the middle of nowhere."

week 3

add your weekly limit. how many trades max? write the number.

month 1

at the end of the month, read all 4 sundays back to back.
notice what you got right and what you missed.

month 2

trim your list. which stock was easiest to read? focus on that one.

month 3

you now have a weekly habit that takes 15 minutes and makes every other day easier.

most people prepare for a vacation harder than they prepare for trading.

once it's automatic, add a one-page weekly review. that's the next level.

the more you trade the more it costs you.

not just money. confidence too.

i tried a "do less" plan and it's the most boring thing that actually worked, so here it is.

for anyone who trades all day and wonders why nothing improves.

DAY 1

count how many trades you took today. just the number.

DAY 2

before every trade, ask: "would i take this exact trade every day for a year?"
if no, skip it.

DAY 3

set a daily cap. 3 trades. after that you're done.

WEEK 1

stay under your cap every day.
the first few days feel weird. that's normal.

WEEK 2

lower the cap to 2.
notice which trades you skipped. were they good ones?

WEEK 3

write your top 3 favorite setups, in your own words.
only trade those.

MONTH 1

review. which setups actually worked for you? keep those.

MONTH 2

cap at 1 trade a day. maximum.
make it the best one.

MONTH 3

you'll probably trade less than you ever have, and feel calmer than you ever have.
that's the whole game.

nobody posts "i took 1 trade today."
that's exactly why it works.

once this clicks, the next step is a simple scorecard for each setup, and a weekly review.

the traders i respect most all do the same boring thing

they write stuff down

that's it. no secret indicator. a notebook

if i were starting a journal today, here's how i'd build the habit in 90 days

for anyone who keeps saying "i should really journal" and never does

DAY 1

take a screenshot of your last trade. save it in a folder. that's all

DAY 2

add one sentence to it: "i got in because..."
bad answers are fine. honest is the point

DAY 3

add one more: "i got out because..."

WEEK 1

do this for every trade. 2 minutes. no more

WEEK 2

add a tag. pick one: early / late / too big / no plan / good trade

WEEK 3

count the tags. which one shows up most? that's your real problem

MONTH 1

pick that one tag. make ONE rule against it
example: "if i'm early, i wait for the next candle."

MONTH 2

check: did the tag show up less?
if yes, pick the next one. if no, change the rule

MONTH 3

now you have a personal rulebook built from your own mistakes
no course. no guru. just you

the journal doesn't make you smart
it makes you honest

next level is a weekly review and one simple page that shows your habits over time

[Noah @ceoofdelusions]

you don't need to watch the charts all day to trade.

honestly, watching all day made me worse.

here's the plan i'd use if i had a job and 30 minutes a day.

for people with a 9-to-5 who feel like they're always behind.

DAY 1

pick 3 stocks. not 30. 3.
put them on a watchlist.

DAY 2

look at each one on the daily chart.
mark where it bounced before. 2 or 3 lines each.

DAY 3

set price alerts at those lines.
now your phone watches the market for you.

WEEK 1

only check the charts once a day, in the evening.
write one line per stock: "going up, down, or sideways?"

WEEK 2

when an alert goes off, look at the chart. did it bounce or break?
write down what happened. don't trade yet. just learn.

WEEK 3

pick your first real trade, tiny size.
write down where you're wrong before you buy.

MONTH 2

one trade a week, max.
quality over quantity. waiting is part of it.

MONTH 3

review every trade. keep the ones that worked. cut the ones that didn't.

your phone is the screen watcher.
you're the decision maker.

once you have the routine, next you'd add a weekly review and a simple scorecard.

You just lost money. Your stomach hurts.

Don't touch the mouse.

The next 10 minutes decide if this is a bad trade or a bad month.

Here's the first-aid kit for a losing trade. Step by step.

For beginners who spiral after a loss.

STEP 1: Close the chart

Not minimize. Close.
You can't fix a loss while staring at it.

STEP 2: Move your body

Walk for 10 minutes. Drink some water.
Your brain makes bad choices when it's angry.

STEP 3: Write what happened in ONE sentence

Facts only.
"I bought at my level and the stop was hit."
Not "I'm so stupid." Facts.

STEP 4: Ask one question

"Did I follow my plan?"
YES → it was just a normal loss. Every trader has them.
NO → find the one rule you broke. Write it down.

STEP 5: Do nothing else today

No "one more trade."
No new strategy.
No buying something just to get even.

STEP 6: Tomorrow, start smaller

Smaller size or paper trading.
Earn your confidence back slowly.

THE 3 THINGS THAT MAKE IT WORSE

1. Making your next trade bigger
2. Switching strategies after one bad day
3. Hiding it from everyone

Talk to a friend you trust. A loss shared is a loss halved.

Anyone can win when things go well.
What you do in the 10 minutes after a loss is the real skill.

Once this is automatic, the next level is a daily loss limit, a short checklist for bad days, and a weekly review. That's the full kit.

The best traders look lazy.

They sit still for hours.
Then they act once.

Meanwhile, you click buy on every ripple and go home with nothing.

Here's how fishing teaches you to trade. Step by step.

For beginners who trade too much and wonder why it's not working.

STEP 1: Pick your fishing spot

2 or 3 stocks. That's all.
Learn how they move. Know them like your backyard pond.

STEP 2: Find where the fish hide

Mark the price levels where the stock bounced before.
Fish come back to the same spots. So do prices.

STEP 3: Sit and wait

Set price alerts at those levels.
Put the phone down.
No chasing. No jumping into the water.

STEP 4: Wait for the tug

Price reached your level?
Don't buy yet. Look. Did it bounce? Did it hold?
Only then do you pull the rope.

STEP 5: Keep your safety net

Before you buy, know the price where you're wrong.
If it hits, you leave. No arguing.

STEP 6: Throw back the small ones

Weak setup? Unsure? Skip it.
A fisherman who keeps every tiny fish runs out of bait.

The kid who chases every ripple goes home with an empty bucket.
The calm one goes home with a story.

Once this is automatic, the next level is scoring each setup from 1 to 5, tracking which spots work best, and a weekly review of the ones you skipped. That's the full fishing guide.

[Noah @ceoofdelusions]

trading without a plan is like cooking without a recipe.

you might get lucky once.
Then you burn the kitchen down.

here's the 5-step trading recipe. So simple a kid can follow it.

for beginners tired of random wins and random losses.

STEP 1: pick your ingredients

one stock.
one price where you'd buy.
that's it. Not ten stocks. One.

STEP 2: set the oven timer

pick the price where you're wrong.
Do this BEFORE you buy.
when the timer rings, you leave the kitchen. No arguing with the timer.

STEP 3: Measure carefully

decide how much money you're okay losing.
A small amount. One that wouldn't ruin your week.
Far-away timer price? Buy fewer shares.

STEP 4: Let it cook

don't open the oven every 10 seconds.
set a price alert. Walk away.
watching doesn't make it cook faster. It just makes you nervous.

STEP 5: Taste and take notes

after the trade, write 2 lines:
"What worked? What would I change?"
that's how a cook becomes a chef.

THE BURNT DISH RULE

dish is burnt? Throw it away.
don't add more ingredients to fix it.
that's what "adding to a losing trade" means.

nobody gets famous for following a recipe.
but nobody burns the kitchen down either.

Pilots don't fly on feelings.

You shouldn't trade on them.

Every pilot runs a checklist before takeoff. Even after 20,000 hours.
Why? Because feelings lie and checklists don't.

Here's the exact trader's checklist I'd use. Step by step.

For beginners and "I knew better but did it anyway" traders.

BEFORE TAKEOFF (before the market opens)

STEP 1: Check the weather

Is the market calm, or is big news coming? Big news day = smaller plan or no plan.

STEP 2: Pick your runway

Choose 2 stocks max. Write the exact price where you'd get in.

STEP 3: Know your emergency exit

Write the price where you're wrong. Before you buy, not after

STEP 4: Set the rule for the day
"If I lose twice, I'm done." Write it down

IN THE AIR (while the market is open)

STEP 5: Fly the plan, not your mood

Price hit your level? Take the trade.
Price didn't? Do nothing. Doing nothing is a trade

STEP 6: No new route mid-flight

Never change your exit because you feel nervous or hopeful

STEP 7: Watch for turbulence in yourself

Heart racing? Angry? Bored? That's your cue to step away for 10 minutes

landing (after the close)

STEP 8: Screenshot every trade

Entry, exit, one line on why.

STEP 9: Grade yourself

Did you follow the checklist? Yes or no. Not "did I make money."

STEP 10: Write tomorrow's one fix
Just one. Small and boring.

THE 3 CRASH ALERTS

1. You "just have a feeling."
2. You're trading to get your money back.
3. You skipped the checklist because you're in a hurry.

Any alert goes off? Land the plane.

Nobody gets famous for a checklist.
Everybody gets rich-ish for following one.
