inversions changing a broke niggas life

[HB @userrrHB]

Intentionally posted my struggles first before showing my first ever payout I received with Topstep this week,

to show it wasn’t through perfection or luck that got me here and was through perseverance and hard work.

with my best learning coming from @DodgysDD,

Alhamdulillah.

Trading Psychology: The Dark Side of the Journey to Profitability

If you're a trader on your journey to profitability, read this.
This is the side of trading that isn’t talked about enough.

I've been trading ICT and NQ for around 12 months now.
This is one of my 5 transaction pages on Topstep.

23 transactions
14 Combine resets
7 Trading Combines
2 XFA activation fees

€1243, maybe that’s not much to some of you, but to me, it was 3 to 4 weeks of kitchen porter work while studying full-time at university.

Back then, I was mentally drained.
The dark voids, the exhaustion, the loop of self-sabotage. I lived it.
Some traders never feel that side. But I did. And I stayed in it longer than I care to admit.

I used to hear the clichés:
“Trading is 99% psychology. A battle with yourself.”
I brushed it off.
Months later, I was deep in it , chasing setups, trading for validation, suppressing guilt every time I typed in my card details for another reset.
I’d get a decent trade, screenshot it, send it to the group chat , acting like it was my money lol.
Hoping maybe I could get lucky again.
Maybe pass.
Maybe feel like I did something.
But when the loss came (and it always came), everything crumbled.

One loss? Panic.
Two? I re-entered.
Three? I sized up.
Four? I chased.
Account blown. Again.

I burned my hand on the stove so many times and it still stings.
For the past few months, I stepped away from social media.
I needed to re-evaluate what I truly want and stop chasing the image of trading.
What I found was simple:

I don’t want the image. I want mastery.
I want peace.
I want to be consistent.
Since then, Alhamdulillah, real progress has been made in both my mindset and my results.
I'm no longer trading for screenshots or group chat validation.
I'm trading for me.
For the life I dream of.
I'm far from perfect and still a humble student of the markets.
But I’ve been coming out of my hyperbolic chamber.
This is just the beginning.
And if you’re in the loop I was stuck in, I see you g.
You're not alone.

It doesn’t end with blowing accounts.
It ends when you decide to change.
Submit to the process.

More to come. Stay tuned.

Live your own life,Stop borrowing other peoples dreams.

this is the heaviest topic on my mind right now.

i’ve been away from trading and off twitter for the past week, and it might continue into next week , i’ve just been doing a lot of intense thinking about my life and where i want to go.

truth is, right now i don’t believe i’m living my life anywhere close to 100% true to how i want to live it.

i’m 20 years old, under my parents roof.

naturally, they want me to go to university, study, become an engineer cool cool.

but it isn’t for me.

always been good at school

but it’s about application.

and i don’t apply myself to university because, through all the unknowns the future holds, i know becoming an engineer isn’t for me.

so am i still in uni

i’d break it down to two things:
my parents, and social standards.

my parents hold education at the highest level.

and everyone around me is at university.

now, this isn’t me saying don’t go to uni but fuck uni fr.

that’s the context for why “living your own life” has been on my mind.

because living a false life aint for me.

borrowing someone else’s visions and not living your own.

i got visions and i got goals

the only thing causing friction is the external noise from other people.

when it comes to truly following your path in life, you might have to disappoint people.

you might sound mad.

but that’s the price of living your truth.

let go of the default path and create your own.

stop seeking approval from anyone.

take full responsibility for your life.

no one’s going to live it for you.
