This week to do this :
1. Find something you want to achieve in 1year from now
2. Break it into weekly plan achievements
3. Draft out a daily routine to able to achieve the weekly target
This week make decision never to miss out a day ..
You will be among the top one
Put this in your note
Remind yourself daily about it
“IT IS AT YOUR OWN LIBERTY TO DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO SUCCEED OR NOT AND WHEN YOU WILL SUCCEED ”
How to backtest rightly ,I think I have drop a thread on it twice
But let me chip this in
Before you back
Have a check list ,backtest with that check list
If you are doing well in the backtesting and you are not in the real live market
It is not a thing of knowledge anymore,it is impatient and lack of discipline towards the data you have backtested
The difference between backtesting results and real life results is not mostly absent of knowledge but experience of timing
Because in backtesting the time factor is not involved which means you can’t backtest your patient level , you can only backtest your knowledge acquisition not your patients level
So you can’t know if you have issues with patient in backtesting cus there is no time factor
That where forward testing comes in
You forward both the knowledge and the time
So if you are getting is correctly rejoice cus you have dealt with knowledge acquisition but you have to deal with timing factor to validate your knowledge
A quick reminder for some of you here.
Because I’ve said this countless times
Most traders don’t really have a strategy problem‼️
They have a discipline problem.
You know your POIs.
You understand liquidity.
You’ve studied the model.
But the moment price starts moving, you abandon the plan and start forcing entries.
That’s the leak.
You’re not in the market to trade every day.
You’re in the market to execute when your setup is present.
If the level isn’t there, - you wait.
If the risk doesn’t make sense, - you reduce size.
If the model hasn’t formed, - you stay out.
Activity is not the goal.
Precision is.
The traders who win long term aren’t the most active.
They’re the most disciplined.
I remember when I was still figuring things out. I was hungry and ambitious. I wanted results, but I also wanted clarity. And one thing I refused to accept was this idea that I had to suffer endlessly to “deserve” success.
A 28-year-old man messaged me.
He told me everything his mentor had been feeding him.
Now let me say this, at 28, you’re not a child. You’ve lived. You’ve worked. You’ve seen life. And now someone is telling you that years of instability is standard.
Do you know what that does?
It lowers your expectations.
It conditions you to tolerate what should alarm you.
It makes you feel like pain is progress.
He loses money because the approach doesn’t work.
His mentor tells him it’s normal.
He feels relieved.
He continues the same way.
He loses again.
That’s not growth.
That’s normalization of mediocrity.
I didn’t become profitable because I suffered longer than others.
I became profitable because I corrected faster than most.
Time does not fix a broken approach.
Honest correction does.
That’s the difference between being in the market for years…
And actually growing in it.
Suffering is not a strategy.
The right information and the courage to act on it — is what keeps you ahead.
