Not sure if my personality trait can handle trading. I’m a put the work in see the result type of person. I can’t risk burning $100k on a fleeting urge to make a dollar on a random Tuesday.
Get rich or die trying I’d probably get rich and kill myself if I kept trading
@TradesCaleb If you keep expectations small and literally aim for base hits, think of it as paying off rent or groceries.
Good decisions and good habits.
@TradesCaleb The illusion of controlling the outcome is the result of your grind harder mentality - I also struggle with this coming from a semi-professional soccer background. Don’t give up man, we’ve got this.
2 options spend every waking moment hating yourself because you try to do something you have no outcome over
Or provide a product to 7 billion people that your work transitions to results no matter what
You seem like a very wise, resilient and determined person who holds high standards for yourself which is an amazing thing to have.
You remind me of myself a lot, I've spent years trying to claw my way to success, desperate to climb that mountain and reach the top.
And just like you've said here, I felt like I was in an endless loop of trying, finding some success, then failing. Again and again and again. Something was not right.
Then one day at work I was tired of listening to music and wanted to listen to a podcast or audiobook. But only something that would help me get rich because that's all I think about (and still do).
For some reason I just searched into Spotify "Law of Attraction" and an audiobook that is included free with the Spotify subscription showed up called "The Secret".
I started listening and couldn't stop. I finished it that same day.
31 days later of practicing methods taught in 'The Secret' I got my first ever payout that I had been desperately trying to get for the last three months.
The funny thing is, I stopped trying to get the payout. In my mind I already had it. I didn't need to stress or worry, claw or climb anything. Its like I just stood still and the payout came to me!
I've had two more payouts since then, and today I am $100 away from my fourth. And yes I won't be 'trying' to get that payout today. The payout will come to me, I just need to 'know' that I have it.
You can use what is taught in The Secret for any area of your life. It will help with either you're trading or your business if you decide to pursue that avenue.
Hope this helps Caleb.
@jtxcapital Was there ever a passion is the real question?
Or was I blinded by comparison that was never really there, just a hallucination of success hidden behind paywalls.
What I liked most is when you posted a clearly untimed and out of sync replay trade playing it off as real "the time on your computer was off by 3 minutes compared to the final candle print"
It helped me more than any of the actual education you shared, it showed me how fake everything is and to only focus on myself.
I think you did this on purpose and I am not criticizing you for it
Here is exactly how you can pass ALL of your eval accounts in seconds tomorrow
This is the secret so many traders in the community gatekeep....

@TradesCaleb Good move man, love the honesty.
Don't really follow what you mean about luck and feeling the gamble moment coming but you know markets are difficult now.
Its just a matter of time.
We miss the trend :)
I had my XFAs for 140 days before being called up to live. All from the help of God.
I fail Him constantly and yet still shows mercy on me.
This is the type of dedication and straight fkn grit it takes to make this work.
Don’t get it twisted that this is easy
You can’t grow as a trader while resenting someone else’s success.
Hate keeps you distracted.
Envy keeps you emotional.
You ever see truly successful people hating on others?
New beginnings
Happy to start working with Topstep and their risk team to hopefully grow as a better trader over the next year and many more.
I definitely have a lot to work on.
Blessed
LMAOOOO
Another fraud can’t take the heat,
Has 48k followers but gets the engagement of a 1k follower account.
Speaks in hyperboles to appear smarter, posts “trades” on paper that can very easily be faked with replay.
Has never posted a payout or a broker statement
