Some trading concepts I learned back in 2012. Like the engulfing candle…My second year trading.
So simple, and repeats all the time… since the advent of markets and candlestick charts.
Yet it took me almost a DECADE to make it work.
That’s when I realized that trading has very little to do with having a winning strategy and everything to do with human behavior.
My darkest demons had nothing to do with markets.
My mother passed from cancer a week before my high school graduation.
My father was smoking two packs a day to cope, and I just knew it was a matter of time before he would battle the same fate.
I was depressed, looking for an escape. That escape was trading. I poured everything into it (it used to be video games, not healthy).
But I didn’t realize the baggage I was carrying was why I was a terrible trader.
I had so many bottled up emotions that I just couldn’t think straight.
Your trading is a reflection of character and poise. No matter who your teacher or mentor is.. the only teacher that matters is the one you see when you look into a mirror.
I, like many of you, was searching for the right person to help fix me. Traders with results. Traders who were professionals. Traders who could show me the way. That path only led me down the road of using someone else as a scapegoat for my failures.
In this game, you need to learn how to fix yourself and own your shit.
Stop looking for excuses. Stop blaming others when things aren’t working out.
The lessons you learn inside and out of the markets will change who you are as a person. How you think, your decision making, and your calculation of risk will NEVER be the same after trading.
You start out on this journey alone, and climb the mountain alone. There’s help along the way, but ultimately it’s you putting one foot in front of another.
It’s a true test of will and determination.
You have to want to change badly enough to make this work. No intervention is successful unless the person who needs help wants to actually fix themselves.
If you want to FIX what’s broken, it starts and ends with YOU.
