If you like swing trading, you’re destined to miss the trend; if you do trend trading, you’re destined to be tormented by swing trades. There’s no way around it—this is an objective reality. If a teacher can, at any time, in any market, always “keep eating the good stuff” and making money, and you also believe it, then it only means your “stuff” has reached the absolute extreme.

Most people actually don’t start out liking those “always profitable” bloggers. It’s just because they’ve lost horribly in their own phase, so they don’t trust themselves anymore and start doubting themselves. At this point, they happen to meet a “never-fail” teacher, like grabbing the last life-saving straw—but in truth, this is when your descent into the abyss really begins.

People who understand, and those who have experienced it, naturally know what I’m talking about.

Trading isn’t hard, but it’s also not simple. The only thing that can save you is always that version of you who keeps learning.
