anyone who ran it up silly from nothing before losing it all always has the ability to run it back, unless their wealth generation event was a singular freak event.
i think that the limiting factor is mental fatigue. life is a game of trade offs, I think anyone who ran it up in a major way had to sacrifice a lot to get to where they are today.
I’ve seen people run dust to 6/7 figures, and that skillset never really disappears. there is a certain skillset about finding and leveraging high risk asymmetric opportunities.
you have to really love the game, or at least be addicted to keep at it. I’m seeing a lot of mental capitulation on the timeline, from very good traders, who have simply exhausted themselves this bull run.
I couldn’t do another 2/3 years at the same intensity, solely because my priorities have changed. after a certain point the r/r of neglecting things in life, starts to catch up. was incredibly fortunate enough to turn dust into a lot for me, and go full time, at the expense of a lot of other stuff in life.
but I absolutely want to do this for the rest of my life, just in a more balanced capacity. even at ATH recently 28th October, I felt exhausted and couldn’t appreciate the achievement (subsequently drew down a sickening amount).
my advice will always be, that you’ve got this. I’ve seen incredibly good traders implode in the last few months, just trading through extreme burnout.
take a break, and if this is still the top priority and what you want to do for life, then you will go get that bag.
