Traders Confessions

Got my first payout ($2k) by copying a random guy on Twitter with 47 followers. If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

@timeframeking ICT is a whole load of ass

You can read the market with just technical analysis You don’t really need fundamental analysis unless you’re a swing trader or there’s a big news event on that day The only problem is that most people use ICT or other dumb chart patterns for their “technical analysis” Things that have no basis in reality and were created by unprofitable course sellers looking to make a quick buck

Told my family I was a successful trader at a family reunion. I'm not. I'm down $28,000 overall. The only way out is to actually become profitable.

@timeframeking WTFFF 💀

$47,000,000 in long-term investments $800,000 in my day trading account I’m 22 Just want to show you guys what is possible

@timeframeking Fr man, makes no sense

Having fixed risk-to-reward targets is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard of Seeing so many trading “mentors” on here recommending fixed 1:1RR or 1:3RR But market conditions are always changing and the only way to profit consistently is by taking what the market is giving you Some days I’ll take a 1:1 trade, others I’ll take a 1:7RR like I did last week Every trade is different So applying the same risk-to-reward on each one makes absolutely 0 sense Idk how these guys even get students to believe that BS

@timeframeking This looks sick

Trading is a great way to make money But you don’t want to rely on it forever You’re not going to be as sharp when you’re 60 as you are in your 20s/30s Put money into other things I have a farm in Brazil, some real estate and most of my money is in good stocks that will continue to grow without much work on my end Go hard in trading, make good money and let it compound Then when your account is at a good level, start investing into other things

I'm 26, I make $30-60k/month from trading and I have literally zero hobbies or interests anymore. I tried teaching, traveling, starting a business. Nothing fills the void. Is this really what making it feels like?

Me and another guy had our own trading messsage board. We’d compare notes and give second opinions on ideas to each other. It worked really well and we made big profits. Until one afternoon he blew through forty grand in less than an hour. He quit and I’ve never been as profitable since.

Broke every rule in my trading plan in a single 20-minute window. Turned a $300 loss into a $4,500 loss in 20 minutes. If I traded like this in a sim I'd have deleted the app.

My mother-in-law keeps telling me to get a real job. Last month I made $18k from trading and literally paid for their vacation this year. What do I have to do to get them to finally respect what I do???

@thetraderleif Well said

@TradersConf Yes trading is real but only few are consistently making money. Saying „I trade ICT“ isnt really a strategy tho, more of a way to look at price behaviour. Find a strategy that has real edge and execute it with discipline Only way to make money in this game. If you cant, quit

Is trading real? 4 years and only 1 payout. I trade ict concept and tried others before . I'm thinking this is all fake and I am gonna quit

@RedlineFunding ✅

Cutting losses isn't weakness. It's the whole job

@j_intradaytrade True

Working a job you hate to impress people you don't like is not ambition It's prison with a salary

@JGMtrading Congratulations brother, long may it continue

$2.3 million in trading profits later and the thing that still trips me out the most Is that it all started because I looked over at some random kid's laptop in class and asked "bro what are you doing" One conversation changed everything for me Always put yourself out there and talk to people - you never know where it’ll take you

@ajdoestrading 100%

The only thing separating your from your dream life is consistency and time Just keep pushing - as long as you’re working hard every day you’re bound to make it

@JGMtrading You pay either way, choose your currency

Trading is hard Having a 9 to 5 is hard But just in different ways With trading - it comes with a lot of pain and sacrifice While the 9 to 5 route is the slow painful death You need to choose your hard

@CMinvests_ 🔥

TradingView replay mode is fixed The whole candle isn’t shown when you switch between timeframes Been waiting on this for so long lmao

@CMinvests_ Most don’t realise this it seems

“If you make so much from trading why do you sell a course?” Maybe to make more money dumb ass? Trading takes like 2-5 hours a day max to make money from it Do you expect someone who was motivated enough to grind trading for years to just sit around and do nothing for the rest of the day? Obviously not Basketball players will make $20m+ a year and still do commercials, release their own products, invest in businesses - and no one says anything about that Thinking motivated guys will just accept less for no real reason is dumb

@j_intradaytrade 🎯

Prop firms don't fund traders They sell the dream of being funded to people who haven't figured out trading yet

@RedlineFunding Crazy

Forex traders really out here paying spread to a broker who is literally on the other side of their trade Ngl that's wild when you think about it
