One the best things that I learned and implemented was from @KrysAlpine
He was talking about on stream how important it is to have a daily payout account.
Also it’s why I never copy trade all my accounts at once.
Let me explain why.
If you take a red day on one of your prop account but you can submit that daily payout from either @Tradeify or @TakeProfitLLC it completely negates the negative psychology around the red day on your other prop account.
It’s one of the best things I’ve implemented and have to shout my boy out because it really helped me a ton.
Remember everything is about preservation of capital and mitigating psychological stress. It’s more important than any trading model, winrate, indicator or anything.
Whatever you can find to help alleviate psychological pressure in your trading you need to value and prioritize that over everything.
Love you guys happy Friday. Let’s end the week strong. Fridays my favorite trading day of the week! 🤝💯
Getting payouts sucks.
Once you get a payout and inevitably blow the account, you will churn evals like crazy trying to get back where you were.
You need to respect the account, regardless of the phase.
Slow down, savor the payout, and try to keep it alive for the next one.
To anyone who might care for my thoughts:
Bad trades win, and good trades lose. The simple fact of the matter is that we cannot predict any particular market outcome.
When you’ve managed to secure really good access into a trade idea, the best practice is to make the market prove you wrong, rather than to give that particular access, and opportunity, up for a few points.
Exceptional entries into a trade idea are rare enough as it is — don’t let it slip through your fingers when you actually nail one down.
When I stopped trying to sprint to billionaire trader fantasy land and finally slowed down.
The key shift happened when I admitted the market wasn’t the problem.
I was.
My expectations. My impatience. My need to force greatness overnight.
The day I let go of that ego and focused on consistency, risk, and showing up every morning with a clear head is the day everything changed.
Trading got easier when I stopped chasing outcomes and started respecting the process and PATIENCE.
The longer Im in this game, the more I get why most people never make it.
It’s not because they don’t understand charts,
it’s because they don’t understand themselves.
No system. No structure.
They chase every move, revenge trade, tilt after one loss, and act shocked when they blow up again.
The game doesn’t reward emotion - it punishes it.
If you can just:
• follow your own plan
• stay composed after a red day
• protect your capital like your life depends on it -
you’re already miles ahead of 90% of people out here.
Consistency > excitement.
Discipline > dopamine.
That’s the real edge.
Funny how trading ends up teaching you more about life
than the charts ever could.
It’s supposed to be numbers and patterns, probabilities and edge.
But what you really find is a mirror.
You see your impatience:
wanting profits now, unable to wait for the setup.
You see your ego:
needing to be right, even if it means holding a loser until it destroys you.
You see your fear:
cutting winners too soon because the pain of giving it back feels unbearable.
And then you realize — it’s the same everywhere.
In relationships, in money, in health, in goals.
We sabotage ourselves because we chase feelings instead of following plans.
Trading is just a concentrated version of life.
All your weaknesses exposed.
All your strengths tested.
Fix them here, and you’re not just building a trading account.
You’re building a life account that compounds even more.
I blew up 3 times.
Because I wanted to win too fast.
I risked too much. I chased the money.
It wasn’t lack of knowledge.
It was lack of control.
But each time I rebuilt.
Stronger. Sharper. Colder.
What saved me wasn’t some magical setup
It was wiring out every month.
Respecting risk.
And mastering my impulses.
You’re not fighting the market.
You’re fighting yourself.
Win that war
And the money follows.

All you need is patience and small size to make a lot of money trading.
Your problem is that you want instant results.
So you take shortcuts, and every time it results in you blowing up your account.
Being slow is fast.
If you stay in your comfort zone that’s why you will fail. You will fail in your comfort zone. Success in NOT a comfortable procedure. It is a very uncomfortable thing to attempt. So you gotta get comfortable with being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful‼️🔐💎
Once you’ve learnt a few basic trading concepts and strategies, being a great trader has absolutely nothing to do with skill. A great trader has confidence, conviction and effectively manages their capital. Invest in coaching and mindset.
Fun fact: you will keep on blowing up your accounts thinking your strategy is the problem till you understand that you are your own worst problem.
Fix yourself, only you can do that no one else, definitely not your girl/woman, man/boy.
You only got yourself to deal with yourself.
Good time to remind of what I wrote back in my newsletter on July 10. It is applicable during trends up and down. You don't need to be 1st into a trend change. Top pickers and bottom pickers not only lose steadily, but also incur huge opportunity cost. Ride trend until it ends
