Profit Alignment

Most traders ignore pain until it starts affecting performance. Starting next week, I’ll break down the most common issues and simple ways to fix them. First: back pain. What should I cover next?

@IAmSteveHarvey Taking care of my body

What’s something small that makes your day better every time?

@rand_longevity Drink, sh*t, read. In no specific order, don't overcomplicate

what does your morning routine look like?

@Tim_Denning Worst part is, most people will tell you that you need to do this to be an adult. And if you want to start a business and avoid a 9-5 job, you're just avoiding "hard work". When in reality they don't even know what hard work actually means.

Working 8-10 hours a day then commuting home to have maximum 4 hours left of free time seems like a bad idea if you think about it deep enough.

A big mistake a lot of traders make: Thinking that taking care of their body is taking time away from trading. In reality it will make your trading 10x more productive. Taking care of your body isn't limiting your profit. It's increasing it.

@onebulkybio You are what you eat...

Losing fat is 80% nutrition, 20% workouts. Nobody tells you this:

@CoachDanGo The dumbest thing I see people doing, is taking vitamin D supplements when they have tons of sun exposure. Especially in the summer...

The best supplement for the body is getting daily sun exposure.

@micheal_ws18 A good night sleep

What’s the supplement for muscle recovery daily after the gym ?

@readswithravi Every sane person 😂

Who still prefer reading physical books over screens?

@joseftrades Most people start chasing setups because they are bored. Just make it a habit to stay away from charts, if there is nothing to take.

Trading isn’t hard. Sitting there and doing nothing is.

@Mubarak_mubious The single best tip you can get is this: If you want to lose weight, you will have to accept the fact that you will be hungry most of the time. Over time this will get better, but losing weight is just mental, except if there are some underlying medical conditions.

people who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you ??

@danmartell People usually try to blame others and justify their failures to avoid self criticism and continue procrastinating

The hardest part of personal development is realizing you were the problem the whole time.

@brockpierson Better than most setups now. Which require you to break your neck, if you want to look at all screens 😂

The most elite tier setup you could get back in the day

@schiz04renic Injury rehab and performance

If you got paid $50K to talk about 1 subject for 4 hours straight, what would you talk about ??

@Itstheanurag Yeah sure these are not the most perfect push-ups... But as long as you are trying to get better every day, it doesn't even matter. Still better form then most haha

I am lowkey ashamed of these pushups. 15 kg weight though.

@KINGKLC001 Yes, don't chase, wait for setups to appear, then take action. Do something productive in the mean time, instead of looking at the charts with no intent. Most are not disciplined enough to stick to this.

If you truly have a proven strategy, understand this: Sometimes your setup will appear every single day of the week. Sometimes it will only show up 3 days in a week. Sometimes there will be just one clean trading day. And sometimes… you won’t see a single valid setup all week. If you can relate to this, congratulations you’re now a profitable trader. Don’t trade out of boredom. Trade only when you see a high-quality setup.

@anxietymsgs Chicken breast 😂

One meal you can never get tired of eating?

From zero to this is basically impossible for most. If you tone it down and start building habits slowly, you will get there slowly, but it will be easier to maintain. For example, if you never work out, start doing it just 1-2x per week for a few weeks, then progress... Do everything in moderation

No more waiting: 1. Wake up at 5:00am 2. Workout 4x this week 3. Eat eggs, steak, and fruit 4. Read a chapter of scripture daily 5. Pray for your family daily

@tradewithola Not from me, but I see this in a lot of people. They forget about their physical health. All they can think about is how are they going to beat the market. And even if they do, they end up getting injured or are in serios physical pain.

What has trading taken from you that’s really precious to you?

You should never let yourself take decisions during the trade. Also, especially for the less experienced trader, I see that fatigue can play a big role in decision making. Staring at the screen for too long, waiting for the setup to appear, just to make a completely wrong decision. Most would benefit from shorter sessions and more frequent breaks from the screen to take care of their mind and body.

Psychology becomes a problem when decisions are not defined. Not because trading is emotional but because decisions are made under pressure. When entries, exits, and risk are clear before the trade there is nothing left to decide during it. That is where most mistakes come from. Hesitation on entries. Closing early. Holding losses longer than planned. Not lack of control just too many decisions in real time. Experienced traders solve this differently. They don’t fight emotions they remove the need to decide. Plan is set. Risk is defined. Execution is clear. So when the trade is live they are not reacting they are just following. That is how psychology stops being a problem. Not by controlling emotions but by building a process where emotions have no role. Are your decisions happening before the trade or during it?
