Nobody talks about what trading actually costs you.

Not the money. The money is the easy part to measure. I'm talking about the stuff that doesn't show up on a P&L.

Trading cost me my mental health.

Not in one dramatic moment. Slowly. Over years. The kind of slow where you don't notice it's happening until you're standing in the middle of your life wondering why nothing feels good anymore.

I stopped enjoying things that used to make me happy. Music didn't hit the same. Hanging out with friends felt like a distraction from what I should be doing. Weekends weren't weekends. They were just days the market was closed and I couldn't prove myself.

Everything that wasn't trading started feeling pointless. Not because it was. Because I'd tied my entire sense of self to something that kept telling me I wasn't good enough. And when you hear that message every day for years, it doesn't stay in the charts. It bleeds into everything.

I didn't notice the shift because it was so gradual. One month I was a normal kid with interests and energy and people around me. A year later I was someone who sat in his room, stared at screens, and measured his worth by whether the day was green or red.

The worst part wasn't the losing. It was realizing that even on the days I won, I didn't feel anything. The wins stopped registering because the baseline had dropped so low. I wasn't celebrating green days. I was just temporarily not hating myself.

That's what years of failure does. Not to your account. To your identity. You start the journey believing you're someone who can figure this out. Three years in, you're not sure you're someone who can figure anything out.

I pushed through it. Not gracefully. Not with some method or framework. I pushed through it the way you push through a wall in the dark. No visibility. No guarantee there's anything on the other side. Just the refusal to stop moving.

Every day was a problem to solve. Every week was another loss to process. Every month was another stretch of wondering if this was all a waste. And the only person keeping me going was me. No mentor. No coach. No one in my life who understood what I was carrying.

That builds you. I won't pretend it doesn't. The person I am today was forged in those years. My ability to sit with discomfort, to question my own beliefs, to keep showing up when everything says stop. None of that existed before trading broke me down and forced me to rebuild.

But I wouldn't trade the lessons. I just wish the tuition was cheaper.

If you're in the thick of it right now. If the things you used to love don't feel the same. If you're measuring your worth by your P&L and everything outside of trading feels grey.

That's not permanent. That's the cost of a journey most people will never have the courage to take. And the person you're becoming on the other side of it is worth every dark day you're sitting in right now.

But please. Don't lose yourself completely in the process. The charts will be there tomorrow. The person you are outside of them needs attention too.

@dancooketrades interesting thanks for sharing, i will give a try although i've never traded with a RR of 0.5 😨 what is estimated win rate?

[Gonzinet @Gonzinet]

@edgeful ORB

[Gonzinet @Gonzinet]

There’s a version of you that already follows the rules.
It wakes up, checks the charts, waits for the setup, takes the trade.
And there’s another version that sizes up after a win, cut winners early and so
The difference? Which one you open the charts.

@buckotrades Thanks for sharing! In my opinion and according to ICT, TWO is on sunday 6 pm not Monday. Or maybe i've missed something.

Everyone wants to ba a trader.
Few accept the reality.
This game runs on capital, the more you have the better.
If you’re broke, you've already lost.
Markets punish pressure and desperation.
Build first. Trade later.

[Gonzinet @Gonzinet]

There are weeks where literally nothing works.
Every trade:stop loss hit. Every setup fails. Every entry reversed takes you out then moves your way.
What separates winners from losers is that winners stick to their rules no matter what.

Trump going from Venezuela to Iran is basically like me trading.

Venezuela? Perfect setup, worked but I sized too small.

Next trade? I am euphoric, I go 10x size on a shitty setup: Iran. It goes wrong. But I am trapped, keep adding size and blame the market for being wrong.
