I’ve been a great trader once.


Then I gave it all away.
Not to the market.
Not to bad luck.
Not to some hidden force.
I gave it away
one decision at a time.
I let my ego trade
when I should have stopped.
I let my emotions
put their hands on the wheel.
I let my past performance
blind me into believing
I was above the rules
that built me.
I knew trading
was a long-term game.
But some days
I still kept playing
the short one.
Chasing the feeling.
Forcing the move.
Trying to prove
I was still him.
I thought trading
would save me.
But the truth is,
only I can save myself.
The market was never the enemy.
The loss was never the lesson.
The lesson was me.
I’ve been a great trader once.
Then I gave it all away.
Now I have to become
the man
who can hold it.
