The market gives to us what we mostly DESIRE. This thought came to me today while I was reflecting on my past TRADES for the year. January started off SH*TTY and I remember how I was so close to my PAYDAY. Then I took an L and another one, AND, yeap—another one. What could I have been doing wrong? I mean, I’m following the RULES, right? Listen, trading is really tricky. I’ve been stubborn with changing my STRATEGY at every drawdown and that has helped me. I can only tweak some things but to change it, NAH. If you change strategies at every drawdown, You’ll never move on. I tweeted something today: There’s no one to judge us than the PERSON in the mirror. The most TRUTHFUL person on earth is a SUCCESSFUL trader. You know why? It takes being HONEST to yourself to attain that level of success. I mean we could all just LIE on social media right? Honesty is all we need in this game. Like, an honest evaluation of yourself. If you’re BAD just say so. Like I said, “The market gives us what we mostly desire”. However, sometimes we get confused at what it is we desire. You could desire WEALTH but FEAR is the constant. What we actually desire is “fear of failure” and not wealth—that’s what you’ll get. I see the market as a MIRROR and that never gets old to be honest. So, I decided and asked myself a question, WHAT are you so scared of? I needed an honest answer. Then I replied, “LOSING”. An honest answer if you ask me. Right? But here’s the thing, I needed a solution. Why do I feel this FEAR? Why does it keep limiting me. Then I saw a TWEET from a trader that resonated with me. He said, “All you need is a 45% win-rate with a 2:1 to be solid” Now, I have more than that. I mean, I’ve never ended any year in LOSS. Then I tried to always remember that tweet whenever I felt that fear. The truth is, We can’t get better in TRADING without losses. Your losses tell you where you’re at. I’ll leave this here as I go and analyze those winners. Yeah, if there’s a winning trade, Screenshot the CHART and keep all winning charts so you can always go over them.
PS: I linked them charts. Study them if you'd like.
