Everybody who says trading is simple is a larper.
“Fix your mentality and you'll be profitable.”
“Just find your edge and repeat it.”
Edge isn't something you can find with ICT concepts. You can’t find edge in just drawing lines on a chart.
I was doing that for 2 years, I believed that my trading strategy that I made in 2 days and back tested for a 30 days will make me $100k. Plot twist, it didn’t.
Nobody uses drawing tools on wall street, they make money with bots or fundamental analysis.
The few who understand print 90% of the bags.
The many who don't get lucky once and lose twice.
Few.
@TheH0n3stTrader An account you can lose in 2 days.
You should have a couple of founded accounts before you quit your job.
Trading has a big mental impact once it's your only source of income.
@Tekeee They start larping.
Then they buy $BTC with the money they got from larping.
Then they lose all of it.
And the cycle starts again.
Welcome to the trenches.
When I was 19 I made $20k in two weeks.
Trading meme coins after a girl I was falling for left me.
I was sleeping 4h per day. I was constantly online and checking X like I worked for Elon.
It wasn't about being right. It was about being fast.
What I learned:
-don't overthink it (be retarded)
-don't be scared to take risk (be ready to lose it all)
-be fast
Break up with your gf and you’ll learn how to trade.
Anger. Higher risk tolerance. No hesitation.
Study.
95% of traders lose money trading their “winning strategy”
They gaslight themselves every time they lose, that their strategy isn't the problem.
I stare at a wall for 10min before every trading session. Makes me think clearer. I know my data. I only need to win 35% of the time to make money.
You are so afraid to admit that you strategy doesn't make money, that you will blame everything else but the root cause.
"FOMO." "Hesitation." "Didn't trust my analysis."
When I was 19 I thought I had built a 100% win rate strategy, that’s impossible. I blamed my losses on everything else but my strategy, just like you.
You aren’t scared of losing a trade, you are scared of losing the end goal. The 10 days you put into back testing, the 100k you thought you would make from it.
Few will understand.
What are you scared off?
Being called a retard?
That's the best compliment you can get.
You should give out uncontrollable aura.
You answer to nobody, you do what you want, you are unpredictable.
This is the thing that woman will find sexy in you.
They wont say that.
But no woman wants to fuck a predictable good guy.
Start retardmaxing.
Being smart is the only thing holding you back from your goals.
Stop thinking. Start doing:
-start an affair with your teacher
-call your gf the N word
-fight the DJ if he is playing shit
-send your client a message that you will start charging more
-buy Bitcoin with 50x leverage
-spend your last money on renting a supercar
You need more chaos in your life.
Start living.
Why do you try to have balance?
Your balls?
Don't have balance. Be unpredictable.
It’s 10am? Good, go have a drink.
It’s 2am? Good, start working.
It’s 3pm? Good, just leave your job early.
Destroy the schedule. Own your frequency.
Morning routines are gay but you have to do this:
-wake up early, before 7am
-drink a glass of water
-take a journal and write down your ideas
-make your daily goal to capitalize on these ideas
You have to become more authentic by spending time alone.
Mornings are the best time for that, nobody disturbs you.
Its just you and your thoughts.
Stop thinking what other people are thinking, start thinking your own thoughts.
