Your confidence should reside in your strategy, not the market.

'Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.'

Consistent traders have a morning ritual.

They own the day from the start by:

• Waking up every day at the same time
• Doing things that empower them—meditation, exercise, prayer, etc.
• Reviewing their action plan for the day
• Swearing allegiance to their trading rules

Please, don't see my tweets as me lecturing you.

Just imagine that we're sitting at a bar or coffee shop somewhere...

... I'm telling you about my experience, being in the market for two decades.

Absorb what's useful and appeals to your logic.

Discard the rest.

Very simple.

You cannot perform at your best in trading when you are not in a relaxed state of mind.

Money is important...

but overthinking it, micromanaging it, stressing about it only makes you tense.

You can't think clearly.

Choose your pain: the discipline of growth or the regret of stagnation. 💪🔥

Losses. Expect them. Embrace them. Minimize them. Learn from them. 📉💡

The more you create structures, routines, and habits that support your mental and physical well-being, the better you'll perform as a trader.

Daytrading isn't a losing game.

Daytrading is hard.

It's an important nuance.

The reason why it's hard is that it's a high-performance endeavor much like free solo climbing or pro golfing.

The people who thrive as day traders are elite performers who've earned their mastery.

You have to learn to wait. Patience is the key, comprising 90% of the job, despite bursting any bubbles. 🕒🔑

The market owes you nothing. Maintaining a mindset of independence and rationality, free from emotional neediness, leads to sound decision-making in trading. 📊💭

Trade to learn, not to earn.

This is the key to success - as paradoxical as it sounds.

It's you against yourself. Not others. Not the market.

Realize this.

There are two types of pain:

The pain of discipline

The pain of regret

If you can handle the pain of discipline, you'll never have to deal with the pain of regret.
