I have come to realize your routine is as important as any trading decision you’ll make
- Wake up same time daily
- Check the same pair daily
- Look for the same pattern daily
- Use the same Risk to Reward daily
- Take same Max trades daily
Give it time and see magic unfolds.
When all of you lose this year, understand this...
You had the heart & courage to be weighed in the balance of public opinion & did your best. I have massive respect for that. It need not be uncivilized as we compete. This is going to be fun & ego need not be a part of it.
When you talk about things with your phone nearby, then see ads for that very thing, you have proof you have no privacy & an algorithm is directing your choices.
Videos are suggested to you by your choices. TV programs control your opinions & mold or shape your beliefs...
The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves.
One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.
“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you've felt that way.”
— Charles Bukowski
Trading is art.
And art is unique.
Traders should be unique, cuz what you are; what you know, will be reflected on the chart to your eyes.
If you try to copy someone because he has success doesn’t mean you will be too. Why? Cuz even if you copy a setup you still don’t know when to not execute it why, why to avoid the trade even if it’s aligned with the setup criteria.
There are always exceptions and sometimes this exceptions can either break you or help you.
Trading is not only placing a trade, big factors are also to know when to scale in, to know when to scale out and to know when to bow the own set rules. And all of this while keeping a great safe risk management.
Instead of the time where people asking for strategies they should self reflect and realize that they lack live market experience instead of a „wonderful“ strategy. Remember if you still searching for a strategy you are walking in a circle.
Strategy and edge forms with experience and experience is not skippable. You need to go through the 999 hours of failure and wins, ups and downs, only with that knowledge you can modify your edge and build it by time.
Please understand this and you will be 5 steps ahead of the majority.
