ive asked myself time and time again, am i destined to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again until hopefully something in my head clicks? i ask this because ive gained and lost six figures 4 separate times, each time believing that i had at last buried the hatchet, that the resets i have endured, lessons i have learned, mistakes i have committed would surmount to something of substance. "this time is different" but the whole time im approaching trading the same way, no strategy, no discipline, no plan. sure, i have more knowledge than last time but its like having high level gear but not being high enough level to equip it. i realize now that a trader's most important battle begins off the screen. since 2021 ive approached portfolio growth the same way, generally undisciplined, spray and pray, no plan trading that, has indeed made me money, but only in euphoric markets. when the wind is flush to the sails, i make a ton of money as the bull market rewards greed and fomo, when the ships speed has slowed down to a trickle, i lose it all. this has happened to me four different times, each in a different type of market, and with each and every "failure" i promise myself that the next time im given such a blessing, ill try my very best to cherish my newfound wealth, just to ultimately squander it. sound familiar? probably because this is every new (and old) trader's achilles heel. there is no depth that cant be touched by human greed nor height to which our gluttony cannot ascend. having knowledge and experience but no discipline is like having a magical staff but being unable to wield it. with practice and control, a wizard may brandish the power of the staff, but without, the staff is reduced to mere oak and precious metal. there is no magic without discipline as there is no winning without restraint. im a seasoned onchain veteran yet none of my knowledge serves me well if my weakness to my greed triumphs my knowledge of the game. thus, learning self-control is the key to unlocking your power, a way of applying those precious experience points you have accrued over many a battle. this self-control, or lack thereof, proliferates into all facets of your life, and begins with the simplest of routine. at its most basic, you will trade as you live your life. if you wake up whenever you want, sleep whenever you want, succumb to your vices and then trade, how can you expect to succeed? on the contrary, if you wake up at a set time, sleep at a set time, and meditate before you trade, how can you expect to fail? how you do anything is how you will do everything. consistent effort, attitude and behaviour in all aspects of life will deeply effect your approach to trading. i want and will go the gym 4-5 times a week. i want and will wake up at 8am and sleep at 12am every day. i want and will meditate everyday. i will not go on my phone as soon as i get up everyday. none of these things involve actually making trades, but they have so much to do with how i execute when i am at my computer clicking buttons. you see, this routine/mindset is crucial to how i perceive trading, if im disciplined in one facet of life, its more likely im controlled in another. trading discipline begins with life discipline. this is my personal anecdote to a problem ive been facing for almost four years now in which i feel many are going through the same. perhaps typing this tweet and posting it to the world in a way actualizes and validates my thoughts. this is by no means an end all be all for every trader out there, but hopefully may serve as a guiding light to a few that read this. if there is anything i want anyone reading this to get out of this tweet its that discipline starts when you wake up. it matters that you wake up early, it matters that you stick to a routine, it matters that you hold yourself accountable, it matters that you have integrity, it matters that you treat everyone kindly and it matters that you treat yourself with love. approach life with discipline and respect, and you'll finally be a high enough level to apply your plentiful knowledge bank to practical use.
