your human limitations will always leave gaps that lead to losses in trading, and that’s completely normal.
now, you need to keep your eyes open when it comes to trading concepts, strategies, and models that look aesthetically pleasing in screenshots but, in reality, are filled with losses.
the goal is to win more than you lose.
your family doesn’t care how aesthetic the trade you took looks on figma. what your family cares about is that you don’t let them down and that you fulfill the promise you made: to become a profitable trader.
Profitable trading is as simple as accepting some days you will have no idea whats going on in the charts.
It is when that happens, that you close your laptop and walk away.
Immediately eliminating any chance of tilt, fomo, chasing, blowing up.
All because you accepted cluelessness over ego.
Zherka explains how high resistance and "pushing through" over time weakens your nervous system.
"The book says I have to fake smile when I do it, I have to pretend it's fun."
You’re undisciplined, lazy, short tempered, and impatient in your everyday life.
But you think you’ll sit down at a chart and suddenly become the person it takes to beat the markets?
Change YOU first.
It is hard to make progress if you aren't honest with yourself.
Don't sit there telling yourself that you are an A-player and giving 100% if you're not.
Don't sit there telling yourself that the market is the issue and you're doing everything you can.
Don't sit there saying your goal is to be a pro trader, but you spend more time scrolling social media than doing the difficult work to become a pro.
Now look - it is totally fine to make X dollars when your potential is 10X.
It is totally fine to be a hobbyist or a part-time trader because you enjoy the challenge.
But just don't bullshit yourself because reality is undefeated.
most of you are afraid to fail, why?
because you do not learn from it or change anything.
continuing to do the same things, expecting a different result.
learn from failure, and you’ll start to look for it.
