Fix what you can in your psychology. Build the strategy around what you can't.
3k → 100k : 10,672 $/100,000 $

Most trading advice says fix your psychology.

That's part of it. But some of it isn't going to change — so build the strategy around what's left.

I'm testing that in public. $3K → $100K, every trade in a journal anyone can read. Now at $8,883.

@OmarAgag6 Do you really know how to ride a bike without guard rails? Same thing applies to traders.. Are prop firm traders real traders?

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@KayCapitals You know you're on X.. everyone knows..

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@DodgysDD 20 !% ? That seems quite low. For 1 trade a month?

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@Patrickwieland @toritrades has a course, just saying 😂

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@Patrickwieland Reload 200k and bring it to a mili. That's the way.

@AdamWTrades Partials is something for higher RR. Wouldn't do it for any RR under 1:2 RR. I TP whenever I feel the market seems to switch against be. I prefer to stack small wins than to leave money on the table or turn red.

@fredtrades Unfortunatly, hype will be where the influencers can make money out of it.

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@MeetMattL With 1000 $ you are 5 flips away from 100k. Passing an eval, is like flipping a personnal account. You rince and repear that 4 more times and you're good to go.

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@fredtrades Greed. People get into that to make money while we must be detached about it to succeed.

The tickets are earned on YouTube. One per video you comment on, double in the first 24 hours, up to 7 days after.

Two prizes are drawn on the English channel, two on the French one — separate draws, so commenting on both puts you in two instead of one.

$3,000 to $100,000 sounds impossible.

It's five doublings: 6K, 12K, 24K, 48K, 96K. That's the whole road. I've done almost two.

The number never changed. The distance did.

Week 11: +$1,221.12, +12.93%. 334 trades, and only 12.9% of them were losses. Worst single trade: -$72.55.

My win rate isn't high. My loss rate is low. Everyone optimises the first one.

What's your goal? Is your plan built for it?

@TMadeAlex I don't know, I see a lot of failed trades by ICT traders on my feed and how these trades were perfect setup ;)

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@AdamWTrades ICT is a good way to complexify a game that has only 2 buttons.. Buy or sell :)

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@tradermike1234 I'm taking another route. I try to find the root of these emotions and why it triggers. Then I adjust my plan and strategy around it so these emotions rarely show up.

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@TheH0n3stTrader It is all directly related to sizing.

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

@ItsTraderLuke Mine is to take $3K to $100K.

Though the goal's real job is to make you follow a process — that's the whole job. Once it's done that, the attention belongs on the recipe, not the number.

The number just tells you which recipe to pick.

@wannabechamp Doing the opposite of what's been told on social media... Crazy grinding. I worked my ass off to get these results...

[The Traders' Light @thetraderslight]

I don't think so. It is a change to the trading plan but not to the strategy. It goes in the same bucket as a rule to restrict to 1 or 2 trades a day max. It's a plan, not a strategy. A strategy, imo, is related to entry/exit criterias, the actual reasons to get into a trade or not. But who cares anyway ;)
