    Let me put this bluntly. If you don't collect, store and know your trading statistics + execution data then you absolutely cannot complain if you are not where you want to be. It's not an afterthought, it's not a luxury, it's a MUST. Charts alone rarely say anything, it's

    I’m going to start a helpful thread for beginner-intermediate traders which will go over basics, you may also learn something new at any stage though! It will not be in any particular order just things that come to mind. See below:

    Had lunch today with my friend who’s been on the broker side for almost a decade, has seen 100k accounts become 8+ figure traders and he said to me: “If traders just survive then it’s just a matter of time before they get it”. He didn’t see my T4AC talk. “Yes!!!” I replied.

    It is no guarantee that sacrifices will make you successful, however failure is guaranteed in the absence of sacrifice. If you want to become a professional trader then you're bound to walk this journey of introspection alone, no one else can carry that burden. There are so

    Here’s my daily, weekly and monthly review routine: Note: I built this routine by asking myself the question (when I was new), “what would a professional trader’s routine look like?” I believe it stood the test of time and asking yourself questions like this can put your mind in

    The most satisfying part of my day is when I check the execution data and see that I kept my losses small. This is what I think is the “falling in love” with the process aspect of trading. All I want is daily, monthly and career-wide consistency, the money is secondary. You
