Point 1: If I were truly making millions every month from trading, you wouldn’t find me on here. Period. There’s no reason I’d waste my time online if I could pull in that kind of cash just from trading. I’m here because there’s actual value for me, new opportunities, knowledge, and insights. Before Twitter, I didn’t even know about prop firms (really), the Robbins Cup, DarwinX, proper risk management, spotting what’s fake and what’s real, or the diverse ways people learn and teach. Being here opened my eyes to a lot, and that’s why I stay. Point 2: I’ve learned everything I know about trading through Twitter and YouTube, literally everything. So yes, I think there’s value in what people share here. But do I believe most people are being honest? Not at all. The reality is, it’s brutally difficult to stay consistently profitable year-round. Even prop firms admit only around less than 1% of traders get multiple payouts. Honestly, I think it’s closer to less than 0.1% who manage to stay consistent over years. Almost no one makes it long-term in this game, despite the hype. (there is also exceptions but you usually won't see them here that much) Point 3: Here’s the truth about why these mentors sell courses and run mentorships: it’s guaranteed money. Trading is unpredictable. Even the best traders go through losing streaks and can’t control how the market behaves. But selling a course? That’s steady income with zero risk. No drawdowns, no losing streaks, no stress, no second-guessing, no frustration, just pure, guaranteed cash flow. (which is fine if you're profitable and you want to teach but don't lie and say you have +90% winrate and you have the algo in your hands) Most of these people might be able to trade, but they’re not making 100K every month like they claim. They’re probably pulling in 1K-2K on a good month, dealing with weekly drawdowns, and maybe breaking even or losing some months. Adding a mentorship or course on top of that brings in an extra 5K-10K (or more) each month, money that’s predictable and comes without any of the mental or financial pressure of real trading and you can make plans based on it. If they were genuinely making 100K or millions or more every month, consistently, without needing any extra income, they wouldn’t be here teaching. They wouldn’t be wasting time on social media or YouTube. And I know that because if I could make 100K a month consistently through trading alone, I’d have zero reason to be here, almost. But that level of consistency, especially with that kind of profit, is just not possible for 99.98% of traders. Here’s the kicker: these people claim they’re making huge sums a month and that they only teach “for fun” or to “give back.” But the reality? Most of them are either barely breaking even, losing money, or making just 1-2K a month from trading. The rest of their income? It comes from their courses, mentorships, and affiliate links. It’s a giant Ponzi scheme, built on selling people the dream of “easy wealth” in trading. They aren’t wealthy traders, they’re clever marketers, cashing in on the hopes and desperation of people who want to believe in the fantasy. They’re not here to help anyone become a millionaire. They’re here to profit off everyone who still believes in the illusion. To answer you: It's ok to teach, but you should not lie. It's all a Ponzi scheme as 99.98% just lie even when it looks like the truth. Sorry to disappoint you with my reply.

If you want to dominate your field, it's easy. You have to outwork everyone!

You correct a fool and gain an enemy. You correct the wise and gain a friend.

After this bounce back, Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr let yourself go back that way again.

in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you're innocent in the story you created.

"If you don't fit into the crowd, it means your place is on the stage."

Neverrrrrrrrr everrrrrrrr underestimate how much God is protecting you from things you don’t even know about.

PICK THE MOST INSANE PATH AND DONT LOOK BACK

funny it takes so long then it comes all at once

You can start over on a random Wednesday and decide you want more out of life.

Most people quit because they forget that you have to be bad at something before you can be good at it. It's so obvious. You suck. Of course you're not going to win in 2 weeks. But if you can learn to enjoy extended periods of failure, you will make it very, very far in life.

You need to have a higher purpose. Your life can’t just be sleeping, waking up and trying to make money. Your life won’t feel like it has meaning.

honestly, be the villain.

That confidence you get after praying >>>>>>>>>>>>

april ends with miracles. may starts with abundance.

Building your own personal brand is single handedly the most powerful way to change your life in less than a year.

In game theory, the most dangerous player is not the emotional aggressor, but the calm architect who changes the payoffs around you.
