I’ve been trading markets for 7 years now and it’s taken me until this point to become confident in my approach. Some people learn quicker than others. The one thing successful people don’t do is quit. Here are some things I’ve learnt over the years (I’ll add more over time) 👇

Bitboy has an affair and people in the comments like “stay strong Ben” “we’re here for you” GTFO I’ve seen first hand what an affair does to a family. I was 8 years old when my mum did it. My sister not even 1. It destroys families, breaks trust, has a huge impact on children’s

Wake up, workout, run a business for 6-10 hrs a day, come home and trade. Weekends = 12-16 hrs a day looking at charts. Most nights I get less than 6 hours sleep (improved recently) Little to no social life. Been like this for 5 years. You want shit, you gotta work for it.

When the market dumps in this nature, there are usually 2 things that the majority think will happen next. 1. Continues trending lower 2. V reversal straight back up The third scenario however is what majority don't think about or perhaps they don't want to accept it and that

9. Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles. Trading is a game. Preservation of capital allows you to keep playing the game. Cut losers quickly. Do not hesitate to cut a trade if it isn’t working for you. Focus on your defence and the gains will take care of themselves

5. Buy fear, sell euphoria. Sounds simple but most do the opposite. Most get euphoric as price is going higher and become miserable as price moves lower. Lower prices = opportunity High prices = realising that opportunity It’s not your money until it’s realised.

I lost money for 2 years straight. I was break even for a year after that. Then I started making money. If this is your 1st year and you’re not making money it’s perfectly normal. The one thing I didn’t do was quit. Never once crossed my mind. I knew I’d make it work in the end.

Almost everyone over the next 2-3 years will be in a position where unrealised life changing profit is made. Many have been through it before. If at any point you’re in this position and we’re deep into the bull market, take profit. Even if it’s 50% off the table. It isn’t yours

8. Patience is essential. Without it you’re going to struggle. Rather than chasing price, let price come to your pre determined level(s) and only execute when it does. The rest of the time sit on your hands. If you’re struggling with patience try trading on the HTF. Less noise.
