The most fucked up thing is not the market, it's your own emotions. Mental sabotage is brutal. You feel a genius one day, and the other, a complete idiot. The one who doesn't train mentally is dead since the first operation. No matter what system you use, if your head isn't in place, you're going to break the bill.
I was also struck by how everyone is looking for help but no one wants to help. As if they knew so much that they don’t want to share, but still lose. If you really knew so much, you’d be winning and teaching. Not begging pips in WhatsApp groups. Ego and trading don’t take them.
I’m tired of selling smokes, of “mentors” who don’t even operate in real accounts. Where are their statements? Where are their audited results? But of course, if they upload an edited capture with a thousand indicators, they already have 20 students paying $300. That’s how we are.
The problem is that most people don't even know what they're looking for. They go from robot to robot, from course to course, without understanding the basics. This is not a casino. It's a profession. And like any profession, it takes time, effort and an absurd amount of mistakes.
You know what the difference is between you and those who quit? That you keep writing, even if it's angry. That's progress, even if it doesn't look like it. The day you stop venting, will be the day you really lost. Until then, you're still in the fight. And in this fight, the one who lasts the most wins, not the fastest one.
I'm excited to see that there are still people who don't give up, who still believe in the process, in continuous improvement, in the community, despite everything, because that's what makes the difference, not the systems, not the indicators, but the will to follow, even when everything seems to be against.
People don’t understand that this business is 80% mental. You can have the best system in the world, but if you can’t control fear or greed, you’re fried. That’s why I admire those who, like you, expose their frustration without filters. Because that’s where real evolution begins.
But then I see how much I've learned, how much I've changed as a person, and I decide to go on. I may not be the best trader, but I'm better than yesterday. And that's enough to keep trying tomorrow.
I loved the closing of your message. That conviction that one day you will recover everything lost. That’s what is missing today: faith. I don’t believe in a system, but in myself. Thank you for reminding me. It’s not easy, but if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth it.
Hey, thanks for sharing this. Seriously. This kind of sincerity doesn’t look much. And reading it gave me a brutal push. You made me remember why I started. Not for the quick money, but for the challenge. Because I want to make a living with my head, not with a boss yelling in my ear. (continues with more answers until I reach 50
