Just hit 300 followers. I genuinely appreciate everyone supporting and engaging here. Quick breakdown of where I’ve been over the past year and where I’m at now. Before last April, my mindset was simple: prove it on one eval and one funded first, then move on. I wasn’t reckless or churning evals, but I also wasn’t as intentional as I needed to be. I cared more about getting there than how I was getting there. I was impatient. I took trades based on what I thought would happen instead of what was actually there. I didn’t have a real system, didn’t manage my emotions well, and traded whenever I felt like it. The results reflected that. Eventually I got tired of it and realized nothing changes if nothing changes. Around April, I locked in and slowed everything down. I started journaling every trade and grading my execution and process, not the result. That forced me to accept no-trade days, stop forcing, and actually pay attention to my behavior. Sharing everything with myself and my small Discord added accountability and helped slow things down even more. At that point I still don’t think I had a true edge, but I did have a solid foundation in ICT and MMXM concepts. After that, I started studying GxT and TTFM more seriously. The model resonated with me because of how mechanical it is and how easy it is to reverse engineer. You can go back, study the same charts we all see, and actually learn from them. Combined with backtesting and journaling, that helped a lot of things click. One thing I’ve learned about X is that it can either help you or hurt you. There’s a lot of noise, but there’s also a ton of value if you’re intentional about who you follow and how you use it. I like Figma posts for that reason. The price action is the same for everyone, and you can reverse engineer what’s in front of you. X is a tool. You can use it to build yourself, or let it create pressure and comparison. A few people I’ve learned a lot from: @GxTradez @AccurateTradez @FerociousTrader @XYJtrades @StunnaTr4des I’m still on the same funded account I posted about months ago. It’s been in drawdown, largely due to internal pressure and thinking I had things figured out. You never really do. This is a continuous learning game about yourself. You trade your edge, manage risk, and accept outcomes over a large sample size. When I brought it into drawdown, I slipped back into anticipation instead of alignment and urgency instead of patience. Social media can amplify that if you let it. The biggest shift for me lately has been letting go of urgency. Slowing down. Operating from abundance. I don’t need a trade. I need alignment. I’ll miss moves, get stopped to breakeven, and watch price run without me. That’s part of the game. At the same time, I know there will always be A+ opportunities when I stay patient and execute. I keep journaling and judge my days by execution, not PnL. Green or red doesn’t change the standard. Looking back at months of journals has shown me how much progress can come from consistency alone. I’m intentionally delaying gratification and building this the right way. Crawling to walking to running, sustainably. Every day is a brick. I’ll keep stacking them.
