Is it me or spreads and execution on gold have become wild recently? I see it across multiple firms.

[UA @umziefx]

Your competition isn’t other people.

It is the following:
• Your comfort zone
• Your bad habits
• Your lack of consistency
• Your distractions
• Your overthinking
• Your self-doubt
• Your environment
• Your pain tolerance

& You.

Live. Don’t forget to live. Remind yourself about what is real and what is not.

I see way too many people wasting time on the wrong things.

[UA @umziefx]

Embrace the struggle. I realise I’ve started to fucking like it. A lot.

Only a few will actually understand what I’m talking about.

[UA @umziefx]

Time definitely flies.. I still remember the first time I opened tradingview and was like what’s this 🤣

[UA @umziefx]

Read.

Never argue with someone who believes their own lies. You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to reality.

200+ pip swing on GBPAUD smashed on a Friday. Almost no stress with these swings.

Men,

One thing I’ll say is if you’re taking this trading journey seriously. DO NOT waste time with girls.

Focus on your craft. Most of the time they will be a distraction and hinder your growth immensely.

If you have a good woman who truly supports you then keep that. Otherwise get rid and do yourself a favour for the long term.

[UA @umziefx]

Might have to bring back swings soon. Way less stress.

To think this time last year I was sitting at 84kg and now currently at 71kg. I can’t begin to explain the difference you feel mentally, physically and spiritually once you start taking your health a lot more serious.

Money is great, we need it to live. But what’s the use if you have no health? Priorities are key in this life. You aren’t taking money to your grave. Remember that.

[UA @umziefx]

The sooner you realise that majority of what you see online is money made by people actually NOT trading.

The sooner you will set your expectations to be more realistic and also be kinder to yourself. Do not compare yourself to people just flaunting money 🚩

[UA @umziefx]

Everybody wants change. But they don’t want to change.

If money and material things make you believe that you are better than others, you are the poorest person on earth.

31. Alhamdullilah. I thank god for another year.

Lived through a few eras and experienced a lot of different things in this life thus far.

This is most challenging and hardest year I have had to endure in 3 decades of being on this earth.

One thing I’ve learnt is to always be grateful through the good and the bad. Nothing lasts forever and we should treat any obstacle we face in life as such.

Perseverance and determination will get you through anything if you stick at it long enough. Prioritise what truly matters in this life as it is a short one.

1. Health
2. Taking care of loved ones
3. Wealth (to help yourself and others in need)
4. Be a good human being. (This should be alongside 1.)
5. Don’t do drama
6. Focus on what truly matters (anything that enables growth)

💙

The opposite of DEpression is EXpression.

Think about that for a second.

[UA @umziefx]

Got ripped so bad on gold last 2 weeks. Think it’s time to focus only on US30 for now 😂 back to scalping it is.

[UA @umziefx]

Do people find courses/mentorship programs beneficial?

Or

Would you say 1 - 1 coaching/guidance is where the real value is at?

Let me know your reasonings. Curious to know.

[UA @umziefx]

Be interesting to see what direction this industry heads into very soon. After trying to get back into trading with props it’s clear to see almost every firm is struggling aside from FTMO.

Less people buying challenges & better traders or smart individuals who know how to game the system = more payouts.

Rules will keep on changing till it reaches a sustainable approach that works for both the firm and real traders. It will end up being an approach that is for the long term for both parties.

A lot of firms will also disappear once regulations come in. My guess is only REAL broker backed firms will stay. Rest will slowly vanish or be forced to shutdown.

The good days of making big money across multiple firms in a short period of time has long gone. That I am sure of.

As I’ve always said we’ve always been privileged by what the space actually became but just like anything too good to be true it will never last. Change is normal and a good thing for looking at the bigger picture in my opinion.
