My original days trading Gold 2017:

- Gold day trade 100 pips and that was huge
XAUUSD Modern markets:
- Gold scalp 200 pips
- Gold day trade 1000 pips
Instead of checking social media apps like a crackhead for a hit.
Check your bank account application with the same frequency instead, then get pissed off and take action instead of laying in distraction.
Capital Hungry has been around since 2019 when I was still working full time at the bank, sharing rants and using penny lots.
No rebranding, no signals, no opening prop firms, no rug pulls, no copied courses, no short-term money grabs, no ICT cult, no lifestyle marketing, no materialism, and no misleading content.
We have always been value focused, centered around sharing insights, information, and educational content around financial markets from fundamentals to technicals.
The cost of this is less popularity, lower views, and engagement, but the benefit is long-term community, trust, undeniable value and growth in the space.
Always providing information ahead of time rather than in hindsight, more times accurate information but also being open and honest when wrong/ learning.
It may be slow, but this is the path I choose to continue for 2025 onward and the same approach to MRKT AI.
Lock in.
Most traders just want some holy grail or shortcut to being better and entering trades / winning.
Entering a trade is a fucking press of a button.
Behind that button press is years of usable experience, knowledge development through studying the financial markets, trial/ error, strategy development (trade plan), pre planned analysis, risk management, with a hint of intuition, and sprinkle of luck.
You only get better at pressing the right button at the right time when you focus on the process.
90% of traders ignore the process mindlessly manipulated by social media signal sellers and lifestyle marketers.
Countries performing currency interventions to prop their respected currency value can also add onto a short term bearish retracement on DXY from its new intraday highs, focus point still linked to PPI and CPI
2025 clean up your feed.
I am going to be doing a lot of this on ICT pages, influencer pages, scammers, marketers, and lifestyle gurus.
Value focused.
What about you?
The market is a PUZZLE.
Fundamentals, technical analysis, psychology, risk management, and probabilities are the pieces of the puzzle.
You bring it all together to create an edge and complete the final image of the puzzle.
If you are missing a piece, you will always be behind or incomplete.
First, collect the pieces, then try to put it all together. This is where Capital Hungry comes in to teach the foundational knowledge.
Stop listening to people who try to say trading is easy. If that was the case, it would not have such a high failure rate. You need more than patterns and lines on a chart.
Think in future pride.
Do things now you will be proud of later.
Your future self would be proud if:
- You took a risk on a business or personal venture
- Developed meaningful relationships
- Worked your hardest
- Spent time with your family
- Kept yourself in good physical health
- Studied a skillset
- Invested in yourself and the future
- Had memorable experiences traveling, dining, socializing, etc
- Started a family
- Stuck to your trading plan and long-term goals
Your future self would be ashamed and regret if you:
- Over consumed
- Over indulged
- Wasted away hours on mindless entertainment
- Got addicted or lost to substances (alcohol, drugs, etc)
- Became fat / obese
- Didn't save any money or plan for the future
- Neglected family and meaningful relationships
So in the present make sure you make your future self proud
Why is everyone teaching technicals?
Because chart patterns and price action take 3-6 months to fully learn.
Economics, finance, math of probabilities, and true risk management take years with constant adapting and new learning.
