One rule I always follow๐
Always believe in yourself.
Business comes down to showing up and sticking with it.
Even if you feel lazy or unsure, keep going.
If you bet on yourself long enough, youโll figure it out.
Another lesson
Last night I spent hours analyzing XAUUSD and GBPJPY,marked my levels, waited for confirmation, and got my entries almost perfectly.
The trades started moving in my favor, but instead of trusting my analysis, I started watching every candle,a little profit showed up and I convinced myself to close early just to "secure something."
A few hours later, I checked the charts again and both trades had gone on to hit my original TP exactly as planned.
That feeling hurts more than taking a loss sometimes because the analysis was right, the setup was right, but my execution was wrong.
A lesson every trader has to learn:- making good analysis is only half the job,the other half is having the patience and discipline to let the trade play out. If your risk is managed and your setup is valid, trust the work you put in before entering the trade.
Today reminded me that fear can steal profits just as much as bad analysis can๐
Trading is funny ๐
The trades I call out for others all hit (TP)but the trades I actually take all hit sl
Called over 5 trades this week,two of the ones I entered hit stop loss, while the ones I skipped because I want to see price action went straight to take profit.
I swear the market has a personal issue with me ๐ญ @ZillaTrades_

Spent part of last night backtesting JP225 and came across a setup that played out beautifully.
The funny part? I actually caught the trade during my backtest, marked the entry, mapped out the move, and watched it hit exactly where I expected.
The painful part is i never executed it on MT5 ๐.
Not going to lie, I was annoyed when I realized it,seeing a trade play out exactly as planned without being in it.
But that's the value of backtesting,sometimes the lesson is worth more than the missed profit.
What stood out to me is how consistently JP225 respects certain levels and reactions,every chart session helps build more confidence and pattern recognition,the goal isn't just finding setups,it's understanding the behavior behind them.
No money made on this one, but knowledge was gained,and knowledge compounds faster than profits in this game.
