Tbh yall you dont gotta be passionate about the charts to succeed
I'm not passionate about trading itself
Sure when I was a beginner I was always pumped for the market to open up like all of us when we were new
But that was the honeymoon phase. That goes away. Or at least it did for me
I see it on here often...you gotta be passionate about trading to succeed
I disagree because I made this happen and I have no passion for trading
But I do believe passion is still required
But that passion doesnt gotta come from the charts
My passion came from my pure hatred for a normal life
When I say normal life I mean "wake up, go to work, pay your taxes and die"
I didn't subscribe to that. I despised that way of thinking with all of my being
That's still passion!
And I understood... If I am not disciplined, if I do not follow my trading plan, if I do not manage risk I will die slaving away my life wasting away my poetntial for someone who wouldn't give a damn if I died tomorrow.
That shit hits. That way of thinking fired me up and even fires me as im writing this
That passion drove me to success. That passion made me a millionaire. That passion drives me to help others.
Passion is required to succeed
But we all get it different places
That was mine
