If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat but this name will never die: Let them say I lived in the time of @I_Am_The_ICT 'The Ghost in the machine'.
I was unprofitable for 4.5 years
Not because I didn't understand charts
But because I couldn't stop myself from:
•Revenge trading after losses
•Over-leveraging when I was confident
•Changing my strategy every few weeks
•Taking trades that weren't part of my plan
Once I fixed THESE things, I started making money
The technical side was already there - I just needed to stop being an idiot
Risk management is boring
It’s also the reason you’ll survive long enough to actually get good
The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll make real progress
