"It took me X years to become a profitable trader Now in the last XXX years Ive done $400k+ in prop firm payouts Here are X things that are holding you back from becoming profitable"

"If you cant follow your trading rules Its because you dont trust your system enough Think about it - if you had XXX% faith in your system you would always stick to your rules and it would be easy The reason you keep breaking your rules is because you dont have enough trust in your trading strategy If you want to trust it more get more data on it If you have 500+ backtested and forward-tested trades showing you that your system works well - you would have no reason to break your rules You would know for certain that just following your rules would make you money"

"Losing a trade doesnt mean you were wrong If you lose a trade but it followed all of your rules - thats not a bad thing So many people start tweaking their system after a few losses because they think its their trading systems fault for losing those trades But if you do this youre subconsciously admitting that youre looking for a trading strategy that has a XXX% win-rate which simply doesnt exist The sooner you accept that your system will lose sometimes and its to be expected the sooner youll become a profitable trader"

"Look at this equity curve simulator Its all the same trading strategy but it shows all the different ways it can play out over XXX trades This is a profitable trading system (2.5R system with XX% win-rate) Yet in some instances it will play out as: Being break-even after XX trades Being down X% after XX trades -XX% max drawdown So next time you start doubting your system after a few losing trades look at this tweet You can have a very profitable system and still have bad trading periods The way through it is by sticking with your system until it becomes profitable again"

"Profitable trading provides you with an almost perfect life You can make a ton of money while only working 1-3 hours a day It all depends on your capital + how skilled you are In most industries you have to work 60-70+ hour weeks for years in order to get to a position where youre making good money And even when you get to that stage youre still working mad hours every day barely having time to spend with your family or on your hobbies Trading is a hard thing to do but once you get good at it theres no career that matches it in my opinion"

"3. Trying to make money every day Even now I see so many traders promote this Theyll say - if you make $100/day at your job just aim to make $100/day from trading so you can replace your income But its much easier in theory to make $100/day trading than it is in reality Ive made X figures this year trading and I dont think Id be able to make $XXX every single day Want to know why Because my trading setup doesnt appear every day - it appears maybe 2-3 times a week And its probably the same for most of you reading this unless youre a scalper who takes multiple trades every day But for day"

"Revenge trading is so dumb You lose a trade or a few trades And your answer to that lost money is to completely disregard your rules and lose even more Youll never make progress in trading until you realise that this behaviour will only ever HURT YOU When you face a loss that gets you emotional you HAVE to learn to walk away from the charts Go for a walk go play a sport go to the gym Just do something to clear your head so that when you do get back onto the charts you think with logic instead of emotion People will mess up months of progress in a day due to revenge trading Its terrible"

"Don't let anyone tell you that this trading thing isn't possible X years ago I was working as a bricklayer on job sites I had already been trading for XXX years at that stage with absolutely nothing to show for it My friends were all going to University and starting good careers meanwhile I was waking up at 6am every day to go to a dead-end job that I hated Every hour I wasn't working I would spend on the charts learning trading Backtesting live trading going through my journal watching videos from my mentors talking to other traders I poured my life into trading because it was the only thing"

"If you feel unmotivated to work on your trading Its probably because youre not feeling enough pain to motivate you Youre numbing your pain with alcohol weed gaming w*nking etc Once you remove all of these things from your life - you start feeling the pain of how bad your life is because youre no longer escaping reality on a daily basis Do this and I promise you youll have all the motivation you need to work on your trading for HOURS every day"

"If youre a profitable trader you shouldnt be spending months on one funded challenge If you are youre probably under-leveraging Risk X% per trade and either pass it fast or fail it fast Worst comes to worst you fail the challenge and have to buy another one - risk X% per trade again and try to pass it in decent time This is much better than having the same funded account for months or even a year and risking XXX% per trade trying to escape from drawdown Fair enough if youre not profitable yet But if you ARE then you lose much more in opportunity cost by staying on these challenges forever"

"All you need to do is build a profitable strategy Find one online backtest it make sure it has an edge Then continue to backtest it and live trade it - taking away anything that hurts its performance Once you have a profitable system you can scale to $200k $500k $1m in funding in less than a year From there all you need is X% per month and youre doing $360k/year from trading for 1-2 hours a day Not a bad life is it"

"6. Not letting previous trades affect you When I first started trading If I was in a winning streak I would become over-confident and risk too much on trades Then when I lost it meant that I lost big And if I was in a losing streak I would get scared and either risk too little or not even place trades because I was afraid of losing This made it really hard to come out from drawdown You should not let the results of a previous trade affect the trade youre putting on now It will only hurt your performance Treat each trade separately"
