I've been a student of the markets for 10+ years. Here is what trading has taught me about life 👇🧵

There's no winning formula in trading. The only way to win this game is by finding your own, personal, tailored winning formula.

It took me 10 years to realize that trading is not about being right or knowing where the market will go. It's all about managing your risk while letting the probabilities play in your favor.

You start trading and think it will be easy. You realize it's harder than you thought. You start losing and losing and losing. You start working on your strategy. You still keep on losing accounts. You realize it's not the strategy. You start working on yourself. You realize

Trading takes a lot of time and effort. You can't just learn a few concepts and apply them successfully in an ever changing environment. You need to have a proper understanding of the market, and all its drivers. You need to learn and rewire your brain to think in

The hardest part of trading isn't reading the market, it's the discipline to stick with one strategy for months. My WORST mistake was trying to “wing it” and trade with loose rules In an ever-shifting market, a mechanical system is the best way to stay consistent

"If I had millions in the bank, my problems would disappear." This mindset traps so many people. External changes aren’t the fix for your internal problem. Money doesn’t fix toxic perfectionism, low self-esteem, or fear of failure. Start the work from within.

We don't know what we've got until it is gone. Be it wealth, health, relationships and so on - learn to appreciate people and things in your life. Count your blessings is not a cliche. Being grateful for what we have is vital while we aspire for more. What you have today is what

Action kills doubt Backtest so much you see your setup in your sleep Journal every single day Show up every single day get that experience And with time you will become more comfortable And eventually This shit will be like brushing your teeth Nothing will faze you

12 lies they told you about trading 👇

I see traders reach consistency in 2 years. And I see others still stuck after 10. It’s not about screen time. It’s about *how* you’re using it. Those who grow fast are the ones using deliberate practice: Clear feedback, consistent evaluation, and real adaptation. Without

Getting in is easy. Holding with conviction is the hard part.

One of the hardest things for traders to accept is reducing their trade size to focus on perfecting their execution skills. Sometimes, you have to step back to better leap forward.

One lesson I learnt the hard way this year (when I say the hard way, it cost me £££) is that taking advice on how I trade from anyone is a mistake First let me say that if you’ve been making money for over a year, even if it’s not that much money, you should give yourself a

The best traders: Hate risking big losses, prioritizing capital preservation to stay in the game. Keep drawdowns low, skillfully managing risk to avoid big losses of capital. Patiently wait for their signal, acting only when the market aligns with their strategy. Keep egos in

I focus on the expectancy of my system based on chart studies, backtesting, and previous experience help me manage my emotions. I expect a certain amount of losing trades and position size so no one trade affects me too much mentally.

Funny how trading ends up teaching you more about life than the charts ever could. It’s supposed to be numbers and patterns, probabilities and edge. But what you really find is a mirror. You see your impatience: wanting profits now, unable to wait for the setup. You see

THE PERFECT TRADE.

Real talk, most of you didn’t blow your account because your strategy was trash or you don't have edge, or that the market was unfair. You blew it because, deep down, you’re addicted to CHAOS. Same way people stay in abusive relationships. Not because they don’t know better, but

Everyone respects the time it takes to become a professional… until it comes to trading. 12 years to be a surgeon? That makes sense. 10 years to be a lawyer? Reasonable. 7 years to be an architect? No questions asked. Even athletes and musicians people expect a decade of
