To make this trading thing work, you got to step out your comfort zone be broke for a while, lose friends have sleepless nights blow money you can't afford to lose, have family doubt you but when it clicks your the one who has the last laugh!
The first time I made £500 in a day I knew I didn’t have to work full time.
The first time I made £2,000 in a day I knew freedom was possible.
The first time I made 5 figures in a day I realised for me getting rich was just a matter of time.
If you can’t manage £1,000 you can’t manage £10,000.
You don’t suddenly learn how to handle money by accumulating more of it.
If your mentality is poor and your habits are poor regardless of the amount you will end up poor again.
Wealth is the outcome of a good financial IQ.
Don’t know who needs to hear this but, stop letting yourself down and stop playing with your own potential.
No one is coming to help you, motivate you, do it for you, it’s on You!
Shit changes when you change.
Hold yourself accountable.
If you don’t grind on the weekends your not serious about your craft.
104 days of the year your taking off,
3.4 months that’s 28% of the year.
And then people wonder why others are ahead of you.
Focus on perfecting your execution skill many get caught up in analysing and neglect actually executing
I’ve come across so many traders who can call the market for fun but can’t execute on the analysis, there PnL is always flat or negative
Execution is the most important
Your trading will change for the better when you actually accept and internalise that you cannot control or know the outcome on any given trade you are simply applying your edge and playing a game of probability and risk to reward
There is no work life balance when your striving for greatness it takes obsession to reach the 1%.
The interested will always be crushed by the obsessed.
Don’t focus on trying to go from 0-100 real quick.
Focusing on going from 0-10 then 10-20 , 20-30 and keep doing that
Build sustainable habits through gradual progression
When I lost all the £ I had to my name early on in my fx career it was the best thing that ever happened to me trust your struggle.
Use it to transform you into a monster
Let me tell you the
#1
thing you need to succeed
SELF BELIEF
SELF BELIEF
SELF BELIEF
Not 50% 95% 100%
Any L any setback any negative feedback and disappointment regardless of what anyone says about you your self belief stay on 100% and you’ll get it.
NO DOUBT
Let me let you in on a little secret 80% of the time markets aren’t worth trading 20% of the time it’s so easy anyone could make money.
But most traders trade away in the 80% that by the time the 20% comes around they have nothing left or the DD is so deep it won’t matter
Life is literally about taking Ls learning from them n bouncing back 2 make different mistakes n take different Ls
The difference is winners make mistakes learn from them n make new mistakes while losers repeat the same mistakes over and over again
Ls are guaranteed
Ws are not
I needed to struggle so i would appreciate comfort.
I needed to be broke so I would have the motivation to get money.
I needed to fail so I would learn what doesn’t work.
Don’t ask for an easy life work to be better it’s not what happens to you it’s what you do!
Watching a next mans pocket does nothing for your own stay in your lane know YOUR SITUATION and keep your head down don’t be trying to compete with no one play the long game.
When I use to lose a lot in trading I noticed more time I wasn’t wrong I was just early, but In trading they usually have the same outcome.
So I learnt to wait a little longer to enter then it all changed.

Your Ls will make you £ if you learn
0.28% but all you see on socials is payouts and profits that’s why I say stay in your lane and keep your head down. Socials isn’t real it’s a highlight reel.
I only ever see 25% of the money I make were does the other 75% go?
Example I make £10k
£2.5k is mine (25%) 💷
£6k gets invested (60%)📊📈📉
£1k gets saved (10%)💰
£500 on BS (5%) 🕹
What I love about it I always feel broke and it makes me work more to increase my 25% amount.
