A quick note about why some make it and some dont.
It takes 8 years to become a surgeon
It takes 8 years + to become a professional athlete like an NBA player or an NHL player
Why people expect trading to be different?
Because the kid on social media that wants to teach you has a lambo?
Because the 21 years ago kid says he made 21k trading this morning?
Because this kid uses fancy trading terminology such as "orderblock" and "fair value gap" ?
Here is the truth. You are not willing to put in the REAL work. The HARD work. Throughout my years of learning, I stumbled upon that paragraph written by someone else and I kept it. Why? To remind myself of what it takes to make it.
"You have dozens of the best students that the world can produce, coming out of the London School of Economics, or from IT degrees in Harvard and MIT, all moving into freaking huge financial institutions, building complex system, doing incredible research . Funded to an extreme you can not imagine. Working in partnership with the IMF and Central Banks all aroundthe world. PhD's dedicating their lifes to such complex systems and situations....... and yet here you are, insolent and ignorant piece of s***, you that have been trying to make your "RSI" or "stochastic" work for 2 months, trying to beat this multi billion-trillionaire infrastrucure. Do you start to realize where the f*** do you stand? Do you really believe even for a freaking second that you can beat them on their game? Using RSI or Ichimoku? EAT.THIS.SHIT."
Harsh isnt it? Well this is the game. This is the path you choose if you keep going. Better prepare yourself now.
Every night I read every news I've missed during the day on forex live & bloomberg to get the general macro situation
Every night I look at the close of each pair I trade and manage my positions if need be.
Every morning, I read every news I've missed during the night on forex live & bloomberg to get the general macro situation
Every friday I look at how the market closed (Weekly candle).
Every Saturday, I do my weekly recap of the previous week
Every Sunday, I prepare my next week analysing every pair I trade.
Every day, I write in my "emotion" journal if I need to: emotions, general idea, mindset, etc.
Every month I do a revision of my stats
Every month, I backtest to keep myself in the game (with the position and swing trading, I do not trade that often, I need to stay fresh).
THATS work. Do you put in the work or do you HOPE you will make it? "But I heard less screen time is better"
Tell that to the 14 years old kid who wants to make it in the NBA "less basketball and you will be better"
Tell that to Kobe Bryan.
Tell that to a medical intern "less studying and work is better".
No. No its not.
Im not saying to trade more. Im saying, you need screen time. You need to EXPOSE yourself to charts. Observe. Analyse. Write down ideas, emotions.
