If you programmed a robot with one simple strategy:
Execute every valid break of structure and exit at 3R.
It would keep executing that strategy endlessly. Win or lose. No hesitation. No fear. No memory of the last loss, until you ask it to stop.
Give the exact same strategy to a human and everything changes.
•After 3 losses, he starts doubting the 4th setup.
•After missing a trade, he starts chasing the next one.
•After a big win, he suddenly feels invincible and increases risk.
The strategy hasn’t changed.
The human executing it has.
You may think trading is difficult.
But being human while trading is much more difficult.
I have some time on my hands today, so I’ll teach you something about how expectations can ruin trading for you in the long run.
Imagine two traders.
Trader A enters every trade expecting 10R.
Trader B enters the same market comfortable taking 3R.
Now both traders catch a good setup.
Price moves +3R.
Trader B closes his trade. His job is done. He got exactly what his system was built to extract.
Trader A is only getting started.
He watches +3R become +5R and starts calculating what 10R will pay him.
Price gets to +7R.
At this point, he isn’t managing a trade anymore. He’s managing an expectation.
Then the market reverses.
+7R becomes +5R.
He doesn’t close because he has already mentally spent the 10R.
+5R becomes +3R.
Still holding.
Eventually, he gets taken out at breakeven.
Now here’s the interesting part:
Both traders correctly predicted the market.
One made +3R.
The other made nothing and probably feels like he lost.
Do this repeatedly and Trader A eventually starts forcing trades, holding winners too long, moving targets, increasing risk and becoming frustrated with perfectly good setups because they aren’t producing the returns he EXPECTS.
Meanwhile, Trader B keeps collecting his boring 3Rs.
This is what expectations can do to you in trading.
Sometimes the market is giving you enough to build wealth, but because you expected more, enough starts looking like failure.
There is nothing wrong with targeting 10R if your data supports it.
The problem starts when 10R becomes something you believe the market owes you.
Trade what the market gives you, not what you already calculated in your head.

It’s the weekend
So you already know what the timeline is about to look like:
“Are you STUDYING?”
“Don’t waste the weekend, Go STUDY.”
“If you want to be better next week, STUDY this weekend”
And they’re not wrong
You should study
But nobody really tells you HOW to study ?!
So you sit down, open TradingView, watch a few videos, scroll through charts, save some posts and call it studying
That’s not studying
That’s just consumption
Here’s the blueprint !! ⤵️
1. Pick ONE thing.
Don't try to study market structure, liquidity, FVGs, entries, psychology and risk management all in one sitting
Pick one concept
Go deep
2. UNDERSTAND it
Don't just memorize what the setup looks like.
Ask:
⚪️ Why does it happen?
⚪️ What does it tell me?
⚪️ When is it valid?
⚪️ When is it invalid?
⚪️ What conditions make it stronger or weaker?
If you can't explain the concept in your own words, you don't understand it yet
3. Go to the charts.
This is where studying actually begins
Find historical examples yourself, don't just watch someone else point at the setup and say:
“See, there's the FVG.”
⚪️ You need to find it
⚪️ Mark it
⚪️ Study what happened before it formed
⚪️ Study what happened after
⚪️ Build your own database of examples
4. Study the FAILURES.
Don't only collect perfect examples.
Find the setups that failed.
Ask yourself:
⚪️ Why did this fail?
⚪️ Was the context wrong?
⚪️ Was the setup invalid?
⚪️ Did I misread the market?
⚪️ Was there something I ignored?
You learn just as much from studying failure as you do from studying success.
5. TEST yourself
Replay price action and go back through the chart candle by candle
Ask yourself:
⚪️ What do I see here?
⚪️ Would I take this?
⚪️ Why?
If you can only identify the setup when someone else has already marked it for you, you don't really know it yet
6. APPLY it
Take what you studied into your actual trading
⚪️ Journal it
⚪️ Screenshot it
⚪️ Track it
⚪️ See how it performs within your own model
Because knowing something intellectually and being able to execute it are two completely different things
7. REVIEW yourself
And this is probably the most important part
Study your own trading.
⚪️ Your journal is a textbook
⚪️ Your losing trades are case studies
⚪️ Your hesitation is data
⚪️ Your repeated mistakes are patterns
Go back and ask:
⚪️ Did I execute what I studied?
⚪️ Where did I deviate?
⚪️ What keeps happening?
⚪️ What needs to change?
That's how studying turns into improvement
So yes, it's the weekend
STUDY !!
But don't confuse consuming trading content with studying
Don't measure your study by how many videos you watched
Measure it by how much you can:
Understand → Recall → Recognize → Apply → Execute → Review
And speaking of studying
You should probably be in my Telegram channel, Join using link in my profile
I share trading ideas, materials, charts and resources there specifically so you have things you can actually study, test and apply, not just consume and forget
Use the weekend properly
Study something
Go to the charts
Test yourself
Then come back next week better than you were last week
Have an amazing weekend ❤️

WAIT !!
It’s only Monday, and some traders have already blown their accounts
Not because the market did anything extraordinary
But because they came into the new trading week with too much excitement and an urgency to trade
One of the hardest things to do as a trader, but ultimately one of the things that will save you the most stress in the financial markets, is being patient !
People look forward to the start of a new trading week with excitement
And that excitement can be exactly what ruins you.
You start thinking:
“It’s already Monday, I need to catch a trade”
“I need to make something this week.”
“I can’t just sit here and watch the market move without me.”
So you force trades
You enter before your setup has properly formed
You risk capital on mediocre opportunities just because you want to participate
But here’s the truth:
It’s only Monday and there is still an entire week ahead
You don’t have to trade every single day
Your objective should be to filter through the handful of trade ideas the market presents throughout the week and identify the highest-probability opportunities.
Be intentional with the trades you take
Be intentional with what you risk your capital on
You don't get paid for being active
You get paid for being right
Sometimes, the best trade you can take at the beginning of the week is no trade at all
Let the market come to you
That’s the way of profitable traders
That’s the Way of Bodhi
The richest people in the world are:
75% entrepreneurs
22% investors
7% athletes
4% artists
0% employees
Nobody got rich through a salary
It's a pure scam!
