@brasillianphil @AlpacaAurelius To each their own man. The Gi thing sucks but theyโre really good quality. And waiting for live rolling until you have some stripes helps people not get discouraged when starting out.
@JasonWilde108 It reminds me of that one Bob Lazar clip where he said he saw a "classified document" saying Jesus was genetically engineered along with 2 other figures.
ICT is my mentor. I have huge respect for him
His concepts have made me a much richer man
BUT
One thing I never did agree with in his messages was the bashing of "retail concepts"
It gives novice traders an out to not take accountability for their actions
"You fail because of retail trading concepts"
When in reality most fail because they don't have a lick of discipline to follow a system or don't manage risk
But it's easier to say what you learned is false info then look in the mirror and see your incompetent
I understand the marketing behind it and how it gets people hooked develops a cult like mentality
But it's also not true 100%
There are ALOT of garbage strategies and info in the space as well don't get me wrong
But most of these people you could give them a winning strategy and I PROMISE they would still fail
The single most important concept for profitability is REPEATING your trading process, edge, strategy on a DAILY basis.
If you want to become a consistent trader, you must repeat your routine and trading process day by day, week by week, month by month.
The definition of consistency = "the quality of always behaving or performing in a similar way, or of always happening in a similar way"
Repeatability brings consistency.
Consistency brings profitability.
Profitability brings longevity in this game.
Don't take any loss personally
It's just a data point
And when you look at it like that and realize that the short term results are random...it loses alot of power over you
The long term series of trades is where you win
Give it time to play out
