Most of you are gambling addicts wearing a mask.
Calling yourself a trader is that mask.
Makes it feel like you’re going in the right direction.
I say this because it was me for years lol, I knew what I was really in this game for.
Dissect yourself,
Dissect your personality.
Dissect your systems.
Are they one of a trader or gambler.
Be honest with yourself.
Anyway, merry christmas.

2nd year university.
In my student accommodation, up at 4am trying to sleep whilst there’s a party going on next door.
Sat with headphones in thinking about getting out of there.
Now I live in an apartment with people 10 years older than me.
Trading did that for me.
That’s why I’ll love this game, no matter how long I’m in it.
Anyway, merry christmas.

Confidence doesn’t come from the charts directly, it comes from your journal.
Seeing your setup work = Confidence.
Use your journal as a confidence shot, a reminder that your setup:
1. Will show up again.
2. Actually works.
Start journaling.

Good traders protect capital first.
When you NEED money, it runs away.
Don’t look at the numbers,
Look at the systems.
The market doesn’t care about how badly you need it.
It punishes that sort of thinking.
Operate on your systems,
Never on your emotions.
Watch your trading transform as soon as you start doing this.

Trading didn’t get easier
I just stopped doing stupid things
That alone changed everything

Stop waiting.
Act now.
Create your model now.
Learn the concepts now.
Apply them when the market presents it.
Do not hesitate.
Act with intention.
Always.

Trade Christmas week if u want but just know you do look like a cunt when the family’s round and you’re on your laptop

If your model shows up, you better execute.
If your model doesn’t show up, you better not.
Simple enough?

I had to fail 10 challenges before I passed my first one,
I blew the 2nd stage.
I had to fail 5 more challenges before passing both stages,
I blew the funded whilst up $6000 lol.
I had to fail 5 more challenges before passing again,
I then found my model and got payouts.
This is a long game…
Even when you’re profitable you might blow accounts.
Prop firms are a game you have to play in a certain way to really see return on investment.
Don’t listen to everyone saying keep the accounts for 5 years, it’s not how the game is meant to be played.
I remember losing the $6k like it was yesterday, but i

Your problem is strategy hopping,
Your next trade looks different every single time you take a trade.
The next one doesn’t look like the last one.
And that’s where you need a model;
A model that has repeatable logic.
A model that has a high win rate.
Without that you will get eaten alive and it’s the main reason most of you do.
Why do you think I tell you to focus on 1 candle?
A joke?
No.
It solves your problem.

Most traders I speak to are working hard.
They journal.
They backtest.
They watch videos.
They try to improve.
Yet nothing changes.
The mistake is assuming effort equals progress.
Real progress is very boring.
- fewer trades.
- less screen time.
- more waiting.
- saying ‘no’ to B setups.
Most people quit right there.
Not because trading is impossible,
But because discipline doesn’t give dopamine.

Some of you seem to think time = killzones.
It’s the last 2 weeks of the year,
It’s the last few days of the month,
It’s the last few days of the quarter.
Just chill.
The market isn’t going anywhere.

You have to let the candle’s print.
You have to let them give you more information,
Else you’re gambling.
If there’s nothing to do,
There’s nothing to do.
The problem is many of you can’t accept the fact that sometimes, there’s nothing to do.

1 model

Sorry for the bait tweet, but this is true.
Your life can change with the stuff above.
You just don’t take it serious enough every time you see it.

Imagine you could predict where price was going with 70% accuracy, you’d make millions right?
Wrong.
You wouldn’t because you still can’t wait for your fucking edge to show up.

Remember all that effort you put in studying this stuff.
All the pain.
And now you throw it away because you can’t wait for a fucking edge to show up.
Can’t wait for a high probability day.
Cant wait at all.
What a shame.

Just worry about 3 H4 candles during your trading day.
Focus on catching the:
Open
Low
High
Close
Open
High
Low
Close
Of these 3 4 hour candles.
If you do this properly, you can change the trajectory of your life.

Build your bias from the H4 or Daily candle.
Only predict the next one.
Refine your entries on the M15.
That’s all it takes.
