CONSISTENCY is the KEY! Gains add up quick when u don't have wild big swings (losses). Stick to your plan/rules daily!
When I first became profitable…
I thought:
“I’ve made it. Bad days are behind me.”
Then reality hit me…
A brutal losing streak came out of nowhere and
shattered my confidence for weeks.
That’s when I learned:
✅ Being profitable isn’t a destination.
✅ It’s a constant battle with discipline, mindset & risk management.
You don’t beat the market.
You survive it, over and over.

@Marko55947828@Z_Rolph@TheShortBear Hi SB! Thanks for this. I was following you during your madaz days .. then somewhere along,you quit his room, and suddenly became “big” Did someone funded your account to trade bigger size? Coz theres no track out there or story how you scaled from small to millions…
I am half way through the new Market Wizards book, and few things stand out insane work ethics, self leadership, self belief bordering on delusion and ability to go deep once they found setup ideas.

There's a major risk that your hotkeys will be completely lost or rolled back randomly.
This has happened to me before and several other traders over the last few years. It happened to one of my friends yesterday so I decided to make a post.
I have the fix here:
1. Go to Hotkey menu and look for "browse" on the bottom right-hand corner
2. Open that and it will bring up your hotkey file folder
3. Find your current Hotkey file, by default it will be "hotkey.htk"
4. Rename the file to something else like "HotkeyBackup2025.htk" or whatever
5. Copy that same hotkey and paste it back in, rename it to "hotkey.htk"
6. Go back to Hotkey menu and select browse, make sure to select hotkey.htk so it loads as your default
-- Details --
The issue is that at some point the file stops being modified properly, it will change so you won't notice it day to day but if your file says something like "date modified 9/3/2022 11:33 PM" (see screenshot) then there is a major risk that your keys will be reset years at RANDOM.
That OLD file will continue to "update" when you change it but will continue to say "date modified" as the OLD date, meaning there is always a risk you rollback entirely for no apparent reason.
Even if you're new to DAS and only have a few weeks or months, it has still impacted traders by rolling back all of that progress.
I would suggest to check this file and see that it is modified after each change, you should see the last modified date and time change.
Periodically make backups to your file if you make any major hotkeys that will be a bitch to recover. Basically whenever the modifications stop recording on the file explorer, you need to update your default hotkey to a new version and backup the one you're using.
Good luck! I hope that this saves many of you before you get your stuff deleted.
