@ck1000x @Khldfx @avikkfp @ronna256 Congratulations cK.

The moment you realize failure is just a temporary event, everything changes.
​You stop trapping yourself in regret. You dust yourself off, adjust the plan, and move forward.

[Dou Lawrence @DouLawrenceS]

Struggling and confused on where to start from in your technical analysis?

Start here ↴

1. Define the market structure.

2. Identify the most recent structural breakout.

3. Mark out PD Arrays (POI)

4. Wait for price to get to your POI.

5. Wait for confirmation (SMS or CISD) and take entries.

It doesn't have to be complicated. ✌🏿

You just made your first $1M. Your brain immediately jumps to the bigger house, the nicer car, that business idea you’ve been itching to execute.

Resist all of it, that instinct is exactly why most people who come into money are broke again within a few years.

The move nobody teaches you: do nothing.
Let it sit. Don’t deploy it, don’t try to flip it, don’t show it off. Park it somewhere safe that pays you while you think. Lock it into a 2–3 month yield-bearing instrument e.g T-bills, low-risk positions, safe and battle-tested protocols.

You’re not trying to get rich off it; you’re already there. You’re buying yourself time to think clearly and getting paid to do it.

Run the numbers. $1M at just 5% APR:
→ $50,000 a year → $4,167 a month → $137 a day

Every day you wake up, $137 landed in your account. You didn’t touch your principal. You didn’t lift a finger, and if that 5% compounds daily, you’re closer to $51,200 a year, the money starts making money on the money.

So before you spend a single dollar or naira, ask yourself one question: can this purchase pay for itself from the interest alone? If yes, you’ve earned it. If no, you’re eating your seed.

Anyone can GET money. Keeping it is a different skill entirely and it starts with the discipline to sit still while everyone expects you to splurge.

Sometimes parking it and letting it pay you is the best play ever. This is from experience, don’t joke with your once-in-a-lifetime SEED when it comes your way.

@PsychedeliaAcad I will "do it" all the way.

• Regardless the failures, I will try again.
• Regardless of the time it will take, I will keep pushing.
• Regardless of the pain I feel, I remain resilient.

Because at the end only those who persevere get crowned.

Prop Firm Phase 2: Breached

​It hurts. Especially when you did everything right:

• Stuck to the trading system
• Respected every rule
• Applied flawless risk management

​But the market didn't care. Account gone.

​The hardest part of a failed challenge isn't just losing the account. It’s the realization that to stay in the game, you have to fund another one—paying up again before ever seeing a dividend from the last.

​It’s a brutal cycle. But giving up isn't an option.

​We dust off and keep pushing. 💛

@ZillaTrades_ These are deep realities every trader needs to embrace and run with.

@official_Gegeh Your students don plenty pass population for LEA school. 😂

@MindMatterMoney Only the unwise and small minded compare themselves to one another.

• Great minds think partnership.
• Great minds strive to be better than who the were yesterday.

The sky is too wide.

[Dou Lawrence @DouLawrenceS]

Knowing the different candlestick patterns is good but that's not enough until it's combined with an understanding of how the function.

Every candlestick is a range.
Succeeding candlestick can either do one of these three (3) things:

• Break above/below previous candle.
• Turtle Soup high/low of previous candle.
• OHLC as an Inside bar.

For each of these three things, it's an indicator of what you should expect next from Price.

Don't trade patterns blindly, have an understanding of the candlestick interpretation.

Stop trying to CHANGE EVERYTHING

Most PEOPLE FAIL because they try to overhaul their entire life at once. Instead, CHOOSE ONE AREA to lead your transformation.

It might be health, work, finances, or self-trust. Put 70% of your effort there for the next 90 days. When one area IMPROVES, the others start to follow naturally.

How to avoid unnecessary losses at Zero Cost as a trader...

Never buy above an high and never sell below a low.

Your highs/lows are targeted liquidity pools.

If only you could learn and master these entry models along with proper risk management.

[Dou Lawrence @DouLawrenceS]

if you have more failed trades than wins irrespective of strategy.

your major undoing is trying to predict price rather than reacting using entry confirmations.
