Before You Trade

90% of traders lose 90% of their money within 90 days of depositing it.

If you were to go to a lake every day and watch it from sunrise to sunset, you’d start to see the natural patterns unfold. The daily patterns of when the fish feed, the seasonal patterns of when the birds migrate. You’d start to understand the climate and how the weather impacts the lake. At some point you’d be able to predict the activity around the lake. “The fish will be right here every morning at 10:00 AM, and the geese will be here every Spring”. Now apply that same process to trading the markets. If you show up and pay attention every day you’ll start to see patterns develop on the charts to the point where you’ll be able to predict what happens next with high accuracy.

Most people lose their money because they don’t have a real plan, don’t have a mentor, and didn’t study the market.

To be a profitable trader you must be willing to do what the other 90% of traders aren’t doing. While they are watching Netflix you’re studying the charts, while they are eating junk food and playing video games, you are eating clean and studying the charts. While they are trading and hoping for life changing money, you are following your plan and taking logical profits.

Using techniques like :

• meditation

• manifestation

• positive self-talk

• exercise

• clean diet

• cold showers

• sauna

• aromatherapy

• breath-work

• moderating social media

• cutting toxic people out

  will have a positive influence on your life and increase your chances of making good logical trading decisions consistently, rather than emotional ones that will drain your account over time. 

This is not a skill for undisciplined individuals. If you aren’t in control of your mental health, diet, and exercise it’s unlikely you’ll succeed.  A proper mindset is the most important aspect for any trader. 

There are 200 PGA golfers

There are 200 ATP tennis pros

There are 450 NBA basketball pros

There are 736 NHL hockey pros

There are 780 MLB baseball pros

There are 1,696 NFL football pros

There are 1,000,000 high school football players

70,000 make it to the college level

250 get drafted to the NFL each year

Most of those who get drafted are cut after 3 years in the league.

Now compare that with trading:

Over 20 million people have opened a day trading account since 2020.

There are an estimated 5,000 - 10,000 professional day traders in the United States that make enough money from trading to pay their bills every month. 

You’re competing against hedge funds, banks, and billionaires armed with all the financial knowledge in the world. They conspire on a daily basis to ensure you lose your money to them. Very few people have the mindset required to beat the market at a consistent enough rate to actually pay their bills. You have a better chance of being a professional athlete or a musician. 

While there are some rags-to-riches stories, most people don’t become successful, but the placebo effect and manifesting success is a real thing. If you believe deeply enough that you’ll be a profitable trader, and you take the proper precautions, you can make life changing money through trading.

It’s complicated at first because none of it will make sense, but as you learn it starts to click and eventually you’ll see everything so clearly that you’ll be able to accurately predict where the market is heading on a regular basis.

Mastering the market is easy, mastering yourself is the challenge.
