Continue grinding. Every early morning, every setback, every sacrifice, and every lesson is building something greater.
Stay disciplined, stay patient, and trust the process.
We all deserve a seat at the cup table but only those who refuse to quit will earn it
The secrets to effective & consistent profitability:
1) Adhere to a simple model.
2) Know what you want to make and it feeds you, leave something on just in case you were wrong about how much more.
3) Don't ask others for opinions, analysis or tips.
4) Manage Risk impeccably - ALWAYS.
5) Don't chase new things after you found your model.
6) Allow others to hold opinions - even if they are diametrically opposed to yours.
7) Unless you run a signal service, keep your opinions to yourself.
8) Make your bread, eat and go live for the day and find ways to bless others with it.
Anything else is BS.
Some trading weeks will be clear as day.
Other trading weeks will feel like an uphill battle.
Don’t let a good week allow you to lose the plot.
Don’t let a bad week discourage every ability you thought you had.
The Draw On Liquidity...
That thing that makes your trade "worth" taking.
That thing that gives you bias.
That thing you can anchor targets to.
That thing that can not hide in any timeframe.
Free, easy and effective.
I specialize in trading the daily candle.
That specific day just happens to align with the weekly direction, and the monthly magnet at an area destined to deliver it there.
Levels.
instead of trying to win more, think about how to lose less when being wrong
there are two ways to increase your profits
matter of fact, it’s easier to make more by prioritizing losing less than the other way around
@DrLukeyTrader You have to construct an approach around your observations, validate it in the past and foward test it then
It will always be a discretionary edge, at least for me, but your own discretion has to work within well-defined boundaries
That’s how you create and maintain consistency
Most successful traders are those who have developed their own unique trading styles, based on their personal understanding of the market.
Copying others will only keep you average.
Time is Fractal
"Price does not make significant moves until time aligns. This means a specific hour of the day, day of the week, week of the month, or month of the year."
When they align, it’s like the final keystone being set in an arch, everything suddenly holds and the structure can finally bear weight.
That’s when price begins to move with intent... When probability in the market is highest.
Which is why mechanical models wrapped strictly around price or basing trades solely on randomly PD-Arrays are unable to take part in the actual delivery of price.
Without time, structure alone is incomplete.
"I almost took that trade" is the saddest sentence in trading.
Almost doesn't pay the bills, Commitment does.
When you see Probabilities are in your favor, act.
The only "Hard" part is Managing Risk.
There is a common theme/ pattern in how price reacts right before a target is hit
That theme is meant for you to decipher if it’s a retracement or a shift
Will the target get hit or left for another time
If you're in your 20's like me, now is the most important time than ever to take risks, embrace failure, keep learning, and master valuable skills.
Don’t chase vague passions, focus on what you can do well. Don’t fear others’ judgment, only fear not taking action.
You have to understand that in order to be successful you've to conquer the man you see daily in front of the mirror; You have to control him, his decisions, his thoughts, his routine.
@YashBan05237237 I wait for a clear defined range
With a swing to the upside and a swing to the downside
Where both highs and lows are being rejected; and soup one side to the other.
That’s it.
