Trading is a brutal journey one I started alone and will surely leave alone. I know many people who started but couldn’t even survive 1 month.
Outsiders only see the wins, the money, the flashy lifestyle, but they never witness the real cost: ruined relationships, lost family and friends, the isolation, countless blown accounts, and dark nights battling emotions and psychology.
This isn’t a game for everyone. It’s either sink or swim unforgiving, punishing, and deliberately hard, because if it were easy, everyone would succeed.
I’ve been damaged deeply by it I’ve lost things within this journey that money won’t ever be able to replace but it’s my journey you wouldn’t ever understand , I’m too far in to ever turn back.
The truth is they always leave in the end. The hopes and beliefs they once had for you was very strong , they would motivate you keep you positive until they witness how long the journey really takes. Slowly they disappear one by one losing all faith in you.
What did this teach me….. never to rely on anyone ever again. They might never believe in you that’s fine. You believe in yourself that’s all that matters and with a little faith you can move mountains.
There’s only one direction and it’s forward: keep fighting, endure the pain, push through no matter how long or how dark it gets.
People say money is happiness but I think there is more to life than just money it comes and goes as it pleases. It has the power to completely ruin your life if you allow it.
But the “freedom” I can achieve from this journey, to me that’s the real payout.
I won’t ever stop because imagine I give up right now they would look at me and say “ I knew it, I was right along thank God I left when I did, I always knew he was a failure”.
I never did it for your opinions because their voices never once mattered to me. The truth is they won’t give me the life I want so who cares what they think🤷🏽♂️
I have something to prove to myself it’s either “sink or swim” there’s two options but only one of them is the correct as for me.
Just a 23 year old lad from Dublin all in with trading. I remember when I started this shit 5 years ago didn’t know how to trade was so lost and confused lost so much money, but I never gave. Honestly there was a time I didn’t even know if I’d ever see the light at the end of tunnel but slowly it’s happening. Every situation I went through and experienced has led me to this moment then I discovered liquidity + inducement everything changed after that thank you God for all the wisdom and knowledge you have given me.
Lost my mum 💔🪽at a young age betrayal from friend, heartbreak I’ve experienced it all been grafting since a youngin never had nothing growing up ain’t no one gave me nothing when I lost it all had to build myself back no one was there and that’s the reality of life
I genuinely didn’t know I would make it this far
Leave $XAUUSD for the big boys
Before and After 🤷🏽♂️
You can’t catch these moves if you don’t understand liquidity and where the trap gets formed, by the time you realise it the move has already happened = fomo entires
“ but price trades above the high buy the breakout? What about the retest?
Thats where price traps the average retail trader - buyers got stuck above the highs while early sellers got stopped!!
Thank you Asia session what a setup that was on $GC $XAUUSD
High of Asia caught as price is drawing towards PDL
Lovely example of liquidity + inducement with a hint of #CRT
Played the range perfectly ☕️
