Same charts, same hours, same prop firms, same strategies.
Some people find success in it within 2 years, others take 6.
Some are pulling $100k/m, some are doing $30k/m, some $5k/m and some are still waiting for their first payout.
Some came from nothing, and some came from everything.
Some had successful friends in the industry and some had to find their own path.
You can’t really hate the space.
There is always something for someone.
See the wins, see the losses, mind your business, make your bag, and just enjoy your life.
Take inspiration, & don’t take out your frustration on the winners.
The markets are fair to everyone in the prop space.
You just need to find your rhythm.
If you are backtesting, gathering data and journaling today.
You are part of the 5% who succeed in this industry.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
You take that break when the jobs done and you see consistent profitability and results.
I haven’t watched a single IPL match this year.
Before, I used to wait the whole day just to watch CSK and Dhoni batting. With Full setup - popcorn, cold drink, cooler on because of summer and watching matches with my dad. That time felt amazing.
But now I realize… I spent 2–3 months every year just watching matches while others were actually building something.
If I had used that same time to learn trading or improve skills, I would be in 10X better position today.
Teams win/losses, players earn, brands make money from ads and sponsorships… but we just give our time (and sometimes money in fantasy apps).
Lesson:
Don’t waste your time. Start early. Focus on your growth.
Time used properly can change everything.
