Maturing as a trader is realizing that cars, watches, and clothes won’t bring as much happiness as having:
-Multiple acres
-Home gym
-Cold Plunge/Sauna
-Peace of mind
6 years ago I was a broke construction worker checking charts between job sites.
Earlier this year I cashed out $2.5M from a single payout at @ApexTradeFund
Today at 10AM EST I'm telling the full story - the depression, the losses, almost dying on the way to work, and the moment everything changed.
This isn't another trading success story. It's real.

Can we take a moment to talk about how Mel Gibson bagged his dead wife’s sister and then single handedly destroyed the entire British Army.
Absolute dog.
Because I realized I was trading for TIME…not MONEY.
You can make money back, once time is gone, it’s lost forever.
I stopped wasting time learning new things.
I stopped chasing trades to buy “things”.
I started trading to buy back my freedom.
Once you have an actual purpose you stop making foolish mistakes…
Trading is a solo endeavor.
Stop putting so much energy into learning strategy.
The edge is the trader.
You can give the same strategy to two traders and get wildly different results.
You’re the one pulling the trigger and making decisions at the end of the day.
Unless you find the guy that has a 500 profit factor.
That strategy is the holy grail.
Most ICT content dumps 47 concepts on you and expects you to figure it out.
This isn't that.
One video. The 3 core concepts you actually need to start finding high-probability setups.
No fluff. No rabbit holes. Just what works.

Moving out of a big city next year.
I can't even step outside without being distracted by noise.
People partying, SVJs ripping down the street.. etc.
It was nice to experience for a few years but now I can't get any peace and quiet.
The next chapter will be legendary.

The year is almost over…
A whole year where you probably said you were going to get your trading business in order.
Yet the year has gone by… and you’re still over-leveraging, over-trading, revenge trading, and not journaling.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.
Input -> output
Profitability is found in the tasks you’re avoiding.
If you make a New Year’s resolution and it’s the same as last year… you have a problem.
Time to own 2026.
At the end of the day, you own the p&l.
You’re the one clicking buttons.
You’re the one making decisions.
If you’re overall a losing trader, it’s because you either don’t know how to trade, don’t know how to manage risk effectively, or don’t know how to have accountability for your mistakes.
The sooner you accept responsibility, the sooner your trading improves.
The amount of people who commented on this blaming other people or reasons for their failures is the exact reason why 90% of traders won’t succeed.
Focus on yourself..
Or join the rest of the failed traders in the trader graveyard.
You choose.
“But prop firms, but ICT, but course sellers”
Dude stfu, log off, and get to work.
The toxicity of social media will hinder your trading growth until you learn to block out the noise.
Just remember that 90% of people posting to twitter AREN’T full time traders.. but like to share their opinion as if they’re subject matter experts.
I get it, I did the same shit for years.
Until I realized that being a “know it all” was hurting my progress.
Everything that will make you a profitable trader is in the charts, in a journal, and in the mirror.
You've blown another account. Your mentor ghosted you. Everyone's selling you the next "secret strategy."
I've been there. Multiple times.
If you're thinking about quitting trading, watch this first.
