The best thing about being comfortable with trading is, I don't own anything.
I have no stress, no liability, no bank or wordly obligations.
Just one laptop, travelling and stopping wherever I want and a few T shirts because I don't have dress for office.
Live wherever I want. Eventually I'll settle down but nothing else could give me this freedom.
BIGGEST LOSER LOST $1.8M ON KHAMZAT CHIMAEV
Polymarket Account “SecondWindCapital” lost $1.8 MILLION betting on Khamzat Chimaev’s fight against Sean Strickland last night.
This represented almost his ENTIRE lifetime PnL. Ouch.
Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.
I don’t care about achieving a $50k month where I broke my rules
I’d rather have a $5k month where I followed them
Until you reach this level of thinking, it’ll be hard for you to be profitable
Trading IS NOT hard, bruh..
Getting a PhD is hard.
Climbing Mt. Everest is hard.
Becoming an astronaut is hard.
Becoming a doctor is hard.
Being the CEO of a huge company is hard.
Working with people is hard.
Washing shit off the floor is hard.
Fighting in a war is hard.
Running into a burning building is hard.
Landing a plane in an emergency is hard.
Working in a mine a kilometer underground is hard.
Diving hundreds of meters below the ocean is hard.
Surviving alone in the wilderness is hard.
Competing at the Olympic level is hard.
Building a skyscraper from the ground up is hard.
Defusing a bomb is hard.
But trading?
Let's be serious.
It's one of the easiest jobs on the planet.
Starting with $1,250 and compounding at an expected 0.8% per trade (from your 40% win rate, 2.5:1 R:R, and 2% risk), after 2,100 trades (210/year × 10 years) your account grows to about $23.12 billion.
This is the mathematical expected value assuming consistent % risk, independent trades, no fees/taxes/slippage. Real results vary wildly due to variance.
The hardest period in a trader's life is after 2 years of trading..
Too deep to quit.
Too broke to continue.
Family's asking you to quit.
You know you can do it, but you can't prove it.
Everyone thinks you're crazy.
It's extremely painful..
@PathOfMen_ You only lose in life when you give up... Don't let the fake digital world put value you on your life. The majority of men are walking in the same shoes as you.
I am faster than you because I operate on principles.
While you waste time with useless details, I am already moving forward.
I fail and try again. This is my data.
Principle: TRY AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
While you read about antioxidants and amino acids, I eat meat and vegetables.
While you study glycemic index and insulin resistance, I eat once a day.
While you read about eccentric and concentric exercises and count your little reps, I train every single day to failure.
While you stare at Bitcoin charts like a slave, I buy the dip.
Etc.
When you operate on principles, you can smoke cigars, drink from plastic bottles, and eat McDonald’s without a single fuck given.
You also save endless TIME.
You don’t need to understand the engineering of a car to drive it fast.
Life is exactly the same.
Stop being a slave to information.
Operate on basic principles with ruthless tenacity.
This is how you win.
