2M goal met half a year early.

Thanks to @wallstreetbets for blowing up that tweet it helped my mentors find me.

This is why I always continue to be public about my "crazy" ideas. Always comes back to me in a unexpected overwhelmingly positive way (got more eyes on me in DotA 2 to help find a team/popularity), finding a mentor in trading. Also motivates me and feels great in the end when I'm right and ur all wrong.

I did not want to post my PnL curve untill it was stable, was a tough journey to prolonged consistency. Been over 2 months no daily DD more than 4%. No intraday DD more than 5%. Current total PnL at 2.28M. Curve starts from Dec 2023 till now.

Why I started trading:

In mid 2022 my parents fell under a scam which would result in them losing half their house that took half their lifetime to pay off. They ended up taking on many lawyer fees and a 800K CAD debt. I was not told this till mid 2023 as they did not think I was in a financial position to help them. I retroactively understood why they were so sad all the time and so much more stressed. I strongly believe that had I done better in DotA or with my finances, they would not have done stupid deals and gotten scammed because they would have seeked me for financial advice instead.

I was extremely angry at myself. Three people I knew since childhood were worth multi 8 figs and even 9. There had to be a way out for me too.

Unless I won multiple TIs or became as popular as @Gorgc there really wasn't a way to do it through DotA. The odds were also too low as only a handful of people in that field could make that amount of money.

I was convinced I had to quit the career I spent a decade on. I knew that top tier gamers were extremely good at poker and I heard poker was similar to trading. I was convinced by the path of @brax10 and @BrianLeeTrades that trading > poker.

All the stories I hear about trading talks about how most of the top tier traders took 3 years, 5 years, even 7 years to make it. I did not have that time. I'm old, my parents are even older, and I needed to settle my career so I could start a family of my own. I saw that @Steven1_994 made 500K first year and 2M by 2nd year as a trash Starcraft 2 player and was like 19 years old or some shit. This goat became my goal.

I quit DotA 2 and placed my first trade mid July 2023. I told my girlfriend that I would spend one hour with her a day, I'm not celebrating anything including her birthday, and our anniversary and we will retroactively celebrate it later once I'm profitable, and I would only leave my house to be with family on holidays.

We stuck it out as planned. Now 1.5 years later it has all worked out in the end. Last two months we celebrated our Anniversary / her birthday at least 8 times at $500-2K restaurants. I give my parents a monthly allowance of 6K. I wanted to be Santa Claus so I bought a twitch mod an anime figurine. And maybe I'll play Metaphor:refantazio and that will be the first game I've played since DotA 2.

@kycefn It’s alright but you’re capable of more. Good to know you can always fall back on Fortnite or Minecraft if trading doesn’t work out

[Max Mys @maxmishtrading]

@ETsoflias @Hertz Damn bro that’s rotten of them. Glad you noticed, can’t imagine how many others they’ve done this to

[Max Mys @maxmishtrading]

@TradingWithTim_ Congrats Tim! You deserve it!

[Max Mys @maxmishtrading]

@ETsoflias Huge respect for showing the downside of trading. You’ve always been a mentor to me and I hope others can learn from you the way I continue to do. Losses like this are part of our success. Can’t wait to see what happens when a trade like this works for you.

[ETsoflias @ETsoflias]

Biggest red day of my career. I like showing this because it shows you how difficult the job can be at times. Not just because of the loss but because if you have a normal job you know you have a consistent income coming in. That’s not the case with something like trading where
