You are still unprofitable because you like the flashy stuff.
You think scrolling short form content is going to make you profitable.
The harsh reality is, it’s completely not.
You follow the rented lambo’s and day in the life content, instead of actually sitting down and doing this properly.
Watch and learn from real traders, they are out there.
Yes, it’s boring.
I get it.
But boring is where the money is.
If that’s how you found out about trading I feel sorry for you.
But make the change, only you can.

Every payout I’ve ever gotten came from being bored for 2 weeks.
0 fear of missing out.
No over leveraging.
Just my model + good risk management.
It’s that simple.

Figure out where the next daily candle is going,
Trade the m15 structure.
Figure out where the next 4 hour candle is going.
Trade the m5 structure.
This is all you need.

Friday nights at the desk take me back man.
Good to go back and just remember how far you’ve come.
I used to spend my Friday and Saturday night for 3 years straight watching ICT videos.
You can’t half arse this game, that’s what I love about trading.
The displaced rise to the top.

I lost over $30,000 trading.
But it needed to happen.
Why?
Because it taught me you can’t gamble your way to success.
This is a game of probability.
A game of waiting,
Waiting for your setup to appear,
Then executing.
Not predicting every move,
But executing your system.

Waited all week for a trade.
Banked on NQ shorts pre-9:30.
That’s how you trade.
Ignore the noise.
Do you know how many wins I’ve seen all week?
But you can’t let that affect you.
It’s you vs you in this game.
Be careful who control your environment.

When you’re operating out of a need for money quickly, you only slow down your process.

The lack of teaching narrative and story building behind why price should move on YouTube is insane, have to ask why that is?
No views I guess

Stop shitting on other people’s models, it’s not a game lol.
If you have one developed and it works, good for you.
But guess what? There’s still support and resistance traders making 10x more than you are.
Keep that humility in check and collect your cheque.

Let Nasdaq leave my key level by 5 points and drop again…

Trading challenges IS a game.
Play the game.
If you can’t afford a $200,000 FTMO challenge, don’t take one.
You need to be able to beat props at their game,
Being not able to afford the account your trading is literally the positions they want you to be in…

Flat on the day, want to see NQ daily FVG however but I think price is a bit exhausted personally for entries

Every trader has drawdowns, even the profitable ones.
If I let a losing streak destroy my confidence, I would’ve quit before finding consistency.
Expect them.
Plan for them.
As long as you stick to your process during rough patches,
This shouldn’t be an issue.
I see too many traders blow up trying to “recover” losses.

Reminder:
It is fine to not know what the fuck price is going to do next.
You aren’t going to and don’t need to know what price is going to do every day.

Traders who are learning are not intentional enough.
It is easily the biggest mistake I see them make.
Be very intentional with your learning process.
The aim is to build a specific model for your lifetime, not just to learn all the concepts.
That’s how you go in circles.
