You are either controlled and motivated by God or money!
Jesus said there’s something more dangerous than the devil and that's money.
Religious folks won't love this🔥🔥🔥
In your journey to creating wealth you'll be tempted to pray for money, please don't. God doesn't give out money. He gives you something totally different. Have you been praying for money?
Going Against your rules/ Plan is the worst you can ever do when it comes to trading.
Applies to life too.
But take your rules very fvckin serious when it comes to trading
I have some time on my hands today, so I’ll teach you something about how expectations can ruin trading for you in the long run.
Imagine two traders.
Trader A enters every trade expecting 10R.
Trader B enters the same market comfortable taking 3R.
Now both traders catch a good setup.
Price moves +3R.
Trader B closes his trade. His job is done. He got exactly what his system was built to extract.
Trader A is only getting started.
He watches +3R become +5R and starts calculating what 10R will pay him.
Price gets to +7R.
At this point, he isn’t managing a trade anymore. He’s managing an expectation.
Then the market reverses.
+7R becomes +5R.
He doesn’t close because he has already mentally spent the 10R.
+5R becomes +3R.
Still holding.
Eventually, he gets taken out at breakeven.
Now here’s the interesting part:
Both traders correctly predicted the market.
One made +3R.
The other made nothing and probably feels like he lost.
Do this repeatedly and Trader A eventually starts forcing trades, holding winners too long, moving targets, increasing risk and becoming frustrated with perfectly good setups because they aren’t producing the returns he EXPECTS.
Meanwhile, Trader B keeps collecting his boring 3Rs.
This is what expectations can do to you in trading.
Sometimes the market is giving you enough to build wealth, but because you expected more, enough starts looking like failure.
There is nothing wrong with targeting 10R if your data supports it.
The problem starts when 10R becomes something you believe the market owes you.
Trade what the market gives you, not what you already calculated in your head.
Target Draws on liquidity‼️
Hope you understand now ??
It is easy to be wise with money you do not have.
it is easy to be disciplined with a temptation you have never faced.
easy to write perfect strategies from the safety of the sidelines.
you do not truly know what it means to be the man in the arena until you are inside it!
from the stands, you can analyze , you can criticize, you can speculate.
but you have to feel it to know what the feeling is like…
