Trading is so simple.
Win three times in a row based on luck. Think you cracked the code. Get humbled the week after.
Spend four years getting closer to predicting the outcome. Feel stupid because everyone else can do it except you.
Realize psychology is the answer. Spend another year with post-it notes and pre-market visualization. Realize it's not working.
Conclude you just need a better system. Copy one that guarantees profitability. Win three times in a row based on luck. Get humbled the week after.
Realize psychology goes deeper. You didn't need to win more. You needed to realize you don't need wins in the first place.
Study probability. Learn that money has nothing to do with trading success. Realize a better strategy means one that fits your personality more.
The high of winning disappears. So does losing.
Accept losses weren't a problem to solve but a truth to accept.
You weren't wrong. You're not a shit trader. You successfully engaged with the mechanism of probability.
The equity curve starts to go up. Not because you stopped losing. Because you stopped interfering.
You need to live within your means.
This $30,000 payout will cover my living expenses for a year.
No need to scale up and increase expenses off one big success.
Live your life, not an imaginary life you see on fintwit.
Honestly. The moment I stopped dreaming and obsessing over trading and profits in general is when everything turned right.
No obsessive dreaming. No PNL dopamine.
Just focusing on the NY session. 1 - 2 hits a day.
No weekend crypto chaos. No off session trades. No gambling at the open.
Treat it like a job to make money, not a casino.
Again……
9:24 am to 10:08 am Model:
Focus on PXH and PXL, as well as NWOG and NDOG as key levels.
True opens:
•New York: 7:30 am
•Daily: 00:00
For buys, price must be above both true opens, and vice versa for sells.
You’ll wait for manipulation between 9:24 am and 10:08 am — during this time window, watch for SMT.
SMT can occur between sessions (e.g., SMT between NY and London), or with the previous day.
Your entry confirmation can be either an iFVG or a Breaker.
Important to note: always aim for the most logical liquidity. My personal favorite is EQH or EQL.
It doesn’t matter what you trade ICT or Trendlines, it doesn’t matter what mentor you follow still 95% fail at trading
It doesn’t matter how widely profitable that mentor is still 95% of people fail to become profitable
Trading is personal and no one can win your war for you.
Every morning I like to start the day with a very simple “if this happens, then I’ll do this” game plan.
Then when the market opens I try my best to block out all the noise and focus on that plan I made.
I highly recommend it! 💚
Here’s an example of my plan today for $QQQ puts 👇
Me lo compartieron en un grupo de Discord y quiero compartirlo:
Tu ventaja es cómo piensas
- Es cómo respondes cuando el mercado te patea los dientes
- Es cómo te comportas después de ganar, no solo de perder
- Es la mentalidad que llevas a la mesa antes de tomar ningún trade
Did you know that every month there is a First Monthly FVG?
May has 2 days from its opening in the next few days will print the first FVG of May.
Timeframe alignment
PO3 Monthly > First FVG Daily
PO3 Weekly > First FVG 4H
New Opportunities 👁️
I just received the BIGGEST single payout in prop firm history from @ApexTradeFund this morning.
A lifetime of consistent efforts, battling through the darkest moments of life, self-doubt, depression, anger..
It all happens for a purpose.
Keep going. 📈🆙
