@AxiomExchange Very shocking indeed, not like every Axiom affiliate on X is a dirty scammer (LOL!). So shocking, oh my gosh

We are shocked and disappointed to hear that someone on our team abused internal customer support tools to look up user wallets. We have removed access to these tools and will continue to investigate and hold the offending parties responsible. This does not represent us as a team, we have always tried to put the user first. We’ll share updates on our twitter as we learn more.

Clix says the Mount Rushmore of Esports players should only be Fortnite pros "Fortnite is the hardest game in the entire world.. the Mount Rushmore of Esports should only be Fortnite pros"

@steenbab this explains something i've noticed in my own trading. the weeks where i'm most disciplined aren't the ones where i white-knuckle through rules - they're the ones where i'm genuinely curious about what the market is doing. discipline felt like effort until it became interest.

This might be the most important post I've written in a very long time. Most of us have a discipline, but lack the discipline to follow our discipline. What is missing for us and how can we get it? traderfeed.blogspot.com/2026/02/best-p…

@MarciSilfrain counting down to the next session while saying you hate it is the most trader thing ever

As someone who LOVES trading, I would like to tell you I HATE trading. With that said… 8 hours, 26 minutes.

@ScarfaceTrades_ the part nobody talks about is most of the real work happens AFTER the session closes. reviewing trades, figuring out why you deviated from the plan, adjusting for tomorrow. the screen time is maybe 30% of it. the other 70% is the boring stuff that actually compounds

People think trading is an escape from their 9-5. In reality, a successful trader has to work harder than anyone that works a 9-5 & constantly learn and maintain their edge in the markets. If you want success it won’t come easy.

@mrmike1357 @TredLens ill be watching. genuinely curious if you guys are going the analytics route or more of a habit/process tracking angle - two very different products even if they both get called journals

@CryptoPrincas @TredLens tomorrow , we ll reveal the phase 1 feature

We are so excited to share that we will be live very soon 👀 Checkout - tredlens.com

tracked this over 60 trading days - bucketed every trade by its sequence number that session trade 1: +0.41R avg, 62% win rate trade 2: +0.22R, 55% trade 3: +0.04R, 49% trade 4+: -0.37R, 38% first two trades carried the entire account. everything after trade 3 was a net donation. the selectivity filter basically builds itself once you see that data

TRADE SELECTIVITY HEAT MAP Last week I did an annual review with an options trader that used to be on the prop side. He could easily increase his pnl by 200% with one simple change. The essence of the feedback I gave was this: Most traders aren’t selective enough. They play too many -EV hands. Optimal equity traders are very selective. As an options trader, you need to be even more selective. This visualization, using poker hands as an analogy, is worth a million words. Who cares to explain this and why it’s even more critical for options traders?

the think in % not $ switch is the one that takes the longest to actually internalize. you can know it intellectually for years and still catch yourself anchoring to nominal P&L when the month gets rough comparison trap hit me the same way - solid months that felt like failures because someone else posted bigger numbers. completely useless metric that just leads to oversizing honest breakdowns like this teach more than any strategy thread

Resultados Enero2026. -$14K y Maduro preso Primer mes rojo en 6 años Lecciones del peor mes de mi carrera: 1- Tradee por income y no por construir riqueza y aprovechar oportunidades. Esto me llevó a tomar decisiones absurdas que llevaban a errores y que para “compensarlos” llevaban al overtrading. Evidencias: - oversizing y revenge trading en $BNAI y anticipación de setups en $SMX y $SHPL y $ATON me costaron $100K+ Solución: pensar en % y no en $ nominales. Pensar en función d riesgo y no en lo q me quiero ganar. Aplicar solo setups de mi playbook y no “corazonadas”. 2- Creer q NECESITO tener todos los meses verde, y estar a la par de mis peers, sino soy un fracaso como trader. Evidencias: Pasar días de 9 horas de jornada. No aceptar días de ganancias pequeñas (menores a $10k) y pensar q todos los días tienen q ser de $20K+, Y seguir tradeando para llegar a esos números. Eso hacía q perdiera $2K e hiciera overtrading para recuperarlo. Compararme con los resultados de mis compañeros que hacen días de $100K+ Solución: Disfrutar mas la vida y no pasar tanto tiempo en las pantallas. Eso me va a llevar a ser más eficiente, tener más mental cap y meter size para maximizar mis ganancias y aceptar que mi sistema tiene días rojos y días d días “pequeños” y eso está bien. También esta bien tener meses rojos siempre q aprendas de ellos. Entender que cada quien tiene su proceso y esta bien inspirarse de la competencia pero ser agradecido con todo lo que he logrado y enfocarme en ser mejor q mi yo anterior y no que alguien más. Pensar en % para compound y no en $. Entender que tengo herramientas y recursos distintos al Eduardo del 2020. Estas actitudes me hicieron llegar hasta aquí pero no me van a llevar a donde quiero ir. 3- si tienes situaciones personales que roban tu foco del trading, probablemente no tengas un buen desempeño. Evidencias : Situación de Venezuela. Lo que hice los primeros días del mes fue pensar en eso y estar en Twitter todo el día viendo noticias. Y más aún ver tarados que defendían a Maduro y decían q tenía que estar libre. Gente que ni sabe lo que los venezolanos hemos sufrido por años por culpa de estos malparidos. Eso me hizo hervir la sangre y robarme enfoque d mi trading. Solución: alejarte de la política. No trae NADA bueno para tu desempeño. Siempre va a haber tarados que van a apoyar a la izquierda. Siempre me van a parecer unos resentidos incapaces y la única manera que tengo de contrarrestarlos es q me vaya bien y poder tener autonomía moral para pensar libremente y tener opiniones y criterios fuertes para inculcarle a mis hijos la mejor de la educación y el mejor de los valores. Mas nada. Espero te sirvan mis reflexiones para que mejores tu trading. Un mes duro para mi… no estrelles el avión para ser buen piloto. Aprende d las pendejadas q hacemos los q tenemos años dándonos golpes a lo bruto. Por cierto. Viva Venezuela 🇻🇪 libre en esta mi3rd4 caballero. Vivan los valores occidentales y por sobretodo GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The best country in the world 🇺🇸

@sergiomarwww @TKralow what are you tracking per trade? if you havent already, try grading each setup before you know the outcome (A/B/C). after a couple months youll have real data on which setups actually work vs the ones that just feel good

@TKralow I started this year with a transformation mindset and launched my public trading journal on X, which you can follow. See you at the end of this year. It will be interesting. Let’s see how it goes. Thanks you mate !

5 Steps to Your Transformation Starting TODAY: My “BEFORE–AFTER” looks dramatic. And a lot of people write: 1) you just got lucky, 2) you’re not real, it’s AI, 3) you can’t rise like that honestly, etc., etc. All three are complete nonsense. Everyone thinks success is some one-time money move where you go “boom, you made it,” and that’s it. Rubbish. Wealth and long-term financial success (let’s throw all the shady “schemes” out of our heads) is not one action. It’s a state of being. 5 steps to reach that state where money stops being a problem: 1) Delete all your childhood beliefs about life and money — and the ones imposed on you by your environment. Ignite an almost insane level of belief in yourself and your victory. It all starts in your head. 2) Analyze your environment. Anyone who drags you down — cut them off. Anyone who keeps you stuck at the same level — same thing. Change cities. Even countries if needed. Go out. Network. Don’t sit at home. New friends = new opportunities. 3) Study marketing, finance, content creation, sales, and communication. 4) Force yourself out of your comfort zone — new city, new business, new job, higher level of expenses, etc. 5) Don’t quit and don’t shift your focus for 12 months. Those 12 months won’t be easy. But on the other side of them, you’ll come out a different person — someone with a completely new financial capacity, experience, and resources.

journaling alone doesnt do much for consistency tho. the game changer is WHAT you track most traders journal outcomes - green day, red day, move on try scoring each trade before you know the result. setup quality, did you follow entry rules, was your size right when you separate process from outcome you start seeing where consistency actually breaks down

If you want more Confidence Backtest If you want more Consistency Journal your trades If you want more Emotional Control Have a strict set of rules If you want more Clarity Define your trading edge

the after-trade review is honestly the part that matters most anyway. most people who "journal" just log entries and never look back at them. if youre actually reviewing every trade and spotting what went wrong thats already better than 90% of traders with fancy spreadsheets collecting dust

I never journal in my trading journey This is the truth but I journal in my end after every single trades Some people need to journal writing and it’s fine Everyone is different whatever works for you that it There is not one better than the others

5 years is real but most people quit journaling by month 2 because they try to track everything biggest unlock for me was cutting it down to 3 things per trade - setup quality, did i follow my rules, and one sentence on how i felt taking it. takes 30 seconds and you actually do it consistently

Backtest your strategy 2hrs everyday Review your past trade during the weekend Journal every single trade you take And repeat the process over the period of 5 years

honestly half agree. most people journal wrong - they write 3 paragraphs about their emotions after every trade and quit in 2 weeks but if you just log setup quality and whether you followed your own rules (takes like 15 seconds) the patterns jump out after 20-30 trades. its not about reflecting on your feelings, its about collecting data on yourself the problem isnt journaling. its that nobody teaches you what to actually track

Journaling your trades is a huge waste of time.

pen and paper is honestly underrated. writing by hand forces you to slow down and think about what actually happened instead of just filling in boxes only tip - keep it consistent. same 3 questions every trade: what was the setup, did i follow my rules, what grade would i give this. patterns show up fast even on paper when youre tracking the right stuff

@CryptoPrincas @bitfunded Oh, for sure I use pen and paper for now actually as I find it more approachable

Trader test 🧠 You’re in a losing streak. Do you: A) Increase size to recover faster B) Change strategy immediately C) Reduce risk and keep executing the plan D) Stop trading and journal Comment the letter 👇

the wildest part is most traders think they already chose the hard path just because they show up every day but showing up and forcing trades is choosing the easy struggle - it feels productive while your account bleeds out slowly real hard choice is closing the laptop at 10am because nothing lines up with your rules

in trading, you choose your own struggles being patient for opportunity is difficult, but so is blowing accounts on forced setups ending the day after a loss is difficult, but so is adding to an unnecessary drawdown managing a trade properly is difficult, but so is prematurely closing on winning setups spending time refining one system is difficult, but so is remaining confused with random concepts all these things are difficult but you decide which one to accept the one that creates results, or the other that keeps you down there is no excuse because you already understand the choice the discomfort must be faced and action must be taken it may be difficult in the days, but it brings consistency in the months and years

@Yazman8853 @bitfunded appreciate that bro, seriously. dont let the price stop you from journaling though - even a basic google sheet with columns for setup, entry reason, and "did i follow my rules" will show you patterns within 20-30 trades. the habit matters more than the tool

@CryptoPrincas @bitfunded I've seen the template&also read some of the reviews. So far,I can say you have a wonderful journal template going.Unfortunately,I can't afford such a product as of now due to several hindrances among which the gap in exchange rate is present.Thanks for the opportunity though 🙏

this is why i screenshot every rule page before i start trading a funded account. props update terms quietly and if you didnt save the original version you have zero proof of what you signed up for had a buddy lose a 150k payout dispute because he couldnt show the old drawdown rules

When you buy an account with specific transition rules given when you move live, if you change them, you need to only apply that to accounts purchased AFTER the new live rules. That IS a retroactive change on what a consumer was buying and led to believe the end goal would be.

@Hydra_Thahmid that gap between "i'm actually getting better" and "my balance agrees" is where most people quit

Thank God I never quit trading. After 5 years of grinding I can finally say I made it. Never quit no matter how hard it gets.
