Remember that first time you looked at a chart and how clueless you were,
Look how far you’ve made it.

This price action right now is not what you want to push the pedal in.
Careful.

I stopped saying I’m a day trader when people ask me what I do for a living.
Now I just tell them I’m an Intraday Quantitative Market intelligence and Risk Optimization Specialist.
People stop asking questions when you say this.
Much better.

It’s been a very slow few weeks for me.
Legit only a handful of trades in the last month or so.
Am I worried?
Not in the slightest.
The old me who would constantly compare himself to others would be feeling insane FOMO and start forcing trades.
The old me would see gurus posting winning trades daily and think I need to tweak something in my system.
The old me would doubt my model and start watching more YouTube videos to learn more because surely I was missing something if I’m not catching trades every day.
Don’t be like the old me.
Don’t let this social media shit fool you.
Stay on your p

How freaking lucky are we to be alive during a time you can make money from a laptop or phone anywhere in the world.
Humans have been around for 300,000 years yet it’s only been a few decades this has been a possibility.
WiFi money.
Take advantage of this blessing.

Trading is simple.
You are the complicated one.
Once you learn yourself
you’ll unlock the art of trading.
I’ve always viewed trading as the world’s best therapist.
Nothing else reveals every single one of
your flaws to yourself like it.

Goodmorning you.
Did you review your mistakes over the weekend or did you come in “hoping” things will be different this week?

The biggest flex isn’t money.
It’s free time.

React and adapt.
That’s your job.
Come into the markets with no pre conceived notions.
In other words,
don’t be so damn stubborn forcing a bias or trade idea.
Every new candle is a new piece of information that can affect your analysis.
My trading changed once I stopped being so rigid.
Flow with it.

Reminder that its ok to have no clue what price action is doing.
You dont always need to have a bias.

The toughest question to answer is when people ask “How do I learn trading?”
Because I can*t really say,
rewiring your nervous system,
have ego deaths multiple times
feeling lost and insane
failing time after time
almost quitting countless times
no social life
unlearning toxic behaviors and habits.
So at this point I just say "find a strategy and backtest"

If you quit now, you've wasted your time.
