The more you want that trade to win..
Less likely you will win
Less you care about the outcome
More likely to get the desired outcome 💡

I became a fulltime trader in 2020...
Here are my top tips to become profitable fast 👇 🧵
Trader Berto retweeted
I know alot of people are struggling right now
I didn't become profitable until year three
Not saying you will..some do earlier some later
2 years is nothing
I was lost 2 years in the game
Here is what helped me break through👇
1. You need to simplify your strat or find a simple strat because many don't have an edge to begin with. Whatever you trade make sure it's simple. Because you can't execute a complicated system consistently. Analysis paralysis creeps in. All that over analysis anyway is just you trying to avoid being wrong to the core
2. Take full accountability. It's not the gurus fault. Not brokers. Not prop firms. It's your fault. Only then will you be able to look your mistakes dead in the face and overcome them. When you put it on someone else even if they had a part in the downfall....you give yourself and out to not grow. It's all on you. Nobody is coming to save you and it's all your fault
3. Meditate. Most will ignore this one and im not saying you gotta go full monk mode. Just 5-10 mins before you trade for the day. Think of it like you are prepping your mind for battle. Meditation teaches mindfulness. That helps when it comes to identifying your emotions realtime. When fear and greed is present you can pinpoint it realtime not get swept away by it and then make the right decision. The urge never goes away but it makes it easier to control. Like a muscle the more you exercise that mindful muscle through meditation stronger it becomes
4. Think in probabilities. Can only do this btw if your system is simple. Step 1 remember. They connect. You do not need to know what happens next. You need to be ok with that uncertainty and let the chips fall as they may. Long term you win. Not the next trade.
Always trade small too. Which is obvious but few do it because they rush the process. Which just leads to the opposite result in the end. Slow is fast
The slower you take it. The faster you succeed in this game
And most stay stuck because they want it too much and they want it too quick
Develop your skills, be patient and the results will find you. You won't have to force it. It flows to you
That's the game
After 2 years of trading, I'm genuinely questioning whether I can keep doing this.
This month has been one of the hardest I've had mentally.
Losses, missed moves, getting stopped out by a few ticks, watching trades hit TP without me... it feels relentless.
I'm constantly giving back profits and fighting just to stay afloat.
I'll keep showing up tomorrow, but right now trading feels like it's winning the battle.

"Mike im trading with $100 how do I grow it"
Don't bother
Spend on a prop firm aquire capital or save
I'm not one of these furus that will sell you a dream folks
You need capital
If you don't have at least 1k or 2k saved then don't bother

In the IG and x bubble it seems like you are behind
Because you are either seeing two things
The absolute top 1% killers in society making bank
Or the other crowd which are cons just pretending
The average day to day person doesn't have even 1,000 in savings
Never forget

If you can make 10 dollars profit consistently...
You can touch millions
There is no secret...
Focus on your process
Stat consistent
Compound
And you will have it

Every trader eventually learns that the goal isn’t to predict the market…
It’s to respond well to whatever the market does.

Most crypto folks have no edge
No psychology
No risk management
And expect to become magically wealthy
That's some Disney shit
Nothing comes that easy
If it does...it won't last
Lots of folks who make good money in crypto just end up giving it all back
When you acquire alot of money without developing any real skills you are bound to return it
That is called gambling
Real trading requires real skills
You can't just hodl with insane leverage hope for the best
That's insanity
people that swing for homeruns ALWAYS go bust eventually
No if...but when
Risk management is the number one trading commandment
Never forget that

Two FATAL mistakes that'll DESTROY your trading account:
1. Moving stops because you're HOPING price will save you
2. Taking profits early because you NEED to feel "right"
Both feel good in the moment...
But they're POISON for your long-term success.
Stop trading your emotions.
START trading your plan.
The market doesn't care about your feelings.

Deep psychology lesson
But this is why you lose money
This is why you stay losing money
Read all of this and we will uncover your problem
You stay in this loop of destructive mistakes because you are comfortable there
On a conscious level you may say you want to be disciplined
You want financial freedom
You want to retire your fam
But on an unconscious level you are not ready
You may think "what do you mean im not ready I don't like losing money Mike"
It goes deeper than that
That is your comfort zone
Everything we do revolves around feelings
You are addicted to a feeling
You stay unprofitable because you are use to that feeling and it is predictable
You say you want to be consistent but you are afraid
That is the unknown
And when you are met with new emotions after being in this loop of destruction for so long your brain is confused
It's outside your comfort zone
You have built these patterns in your brain to predict a certain outcome so when you are met with something out of the ordinary that is when alot of you sabotage
I know you have been in that place where you are doing so good so consistent and then you just throw it all away and then you look up and think "wtf did I do"
You went on autopilot
You have a program in your brain that took over a certain set of patterns that you reverted to
That feeling I was talking about
Familiar misery
You hate it but at the same time you are comfortable there and would rather stay there then venture into the unknown because on an unconscious level you think "that isn't me"
but that is a lie you tell yourself
That lower nature that degen we call it
It takes about a month to develop those new patterns in your brain
So the beginning is going to be the hardest
But once you get over that hurdle it becomes easier
You need to be mindful
You need to be aware of the issue and that is the point of this post
because when you are aware it can not manipulate you from the dark anymore
You shine a flashlight on it
It will be uncomfortable
But it will be worth it
Redirect focus consistently again again and again
And it will happen
You will break through that wall
Consistency is the most powerful force on earth
Done long enough your brain will rewire
And you will be thinking like a winner
And the results will follow

Never let a winning trade inflate your ego, and never let a losing trade weigh down your spirit.

Price action is the only truth.
Your opinions, politics, and predictions don’t matter.
The market shows its hand early, through leaders that resist breakdowns and reclaim key levels.
Watch them. Follow them. Trade them.

In fact, that method is in plain sight:

2. Control your risk
3. Mind your psychology
4. Have a process
5. Stay in the game
