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.

for a good year, all you need are a few good months for a good month, all you need is one good week for a good week, all you need is one good trade focus on one good trade at a time this is the 80/20 law in trading 20% of your trades will make 80% of your profits the problem is that most of you expect to make money on 100% of your trades you want to take a trade every day of the week you force mediocre setups in between the actual good ones instead of waiting for the few that actually matter, you dilute your edge by taking action when you shouldn’t one good setup can pay for days of waiting an A+ framework allows you to scale into multiple positions while keeping your open risk at 1R one such trade can make your month but that only works if you’re patient enough to wait being patient is what pays

$YM Pre 9.30 banger! Closed mostly all of my position at high, held a runner just incase we got a little crazy. ggs

I get asked to teach people all the time. And every time I say no. Not because I don’t want to help but because I’ve seen this story play out too many times. I’ve tried. I’ve poured time into friends, into people who swore they wanted it more than anything. They’d tell me they were ready to do whatever it takes. That they were different. But they’re not. Because 2–3 months in when there’s no payout, when reality hits, when they finally see the work the real work they disappear. The late nights. The frustration. The self-doubt. The discipline when nobody’s watching. The days where nothing works and you still show up anyway. That’s the part nobody talks about. Everyone sees the screenshots the 5 figure days, the 6 figure payouts. But they don’t see the years behind them. The failures. The sacrifices. The obsession. And that’s where most people break. Because the truth is wanting it isn’t enough. You can say you want it. You can convince yourself you want it. But when it’s time to bleed for it, to stay consistent when there’s zero reward, that’s when the truth shows up. Most people don’t actually want it. They want the outcome. They don’t want the process. And this path? It demands everything. You can’t fake hunger. You can’t teach obsession. You can’t hand someone the mindset it takes to keep going when there’s nothing telling you to continue. You either have that fire in you or you don’t. 100% isn’t enough, you have to give 110% , you have to give it everything

Very tough week of PA You have to remember you can do everything right and still lose in this game. Just have to mentally stay strong to focus only on your process and executing it the best you can. ❤️🧘‍♂️

@kyrostrader blown account this week but we keep going.

This week so far: 1 L 2 BE’s We keep it moving! Very proud of myself for handling these well. Of course it sucks and I feel the emotions but I have to separate myself from them. I can only control what I control.

You do not become a disciplined trader in one day. You become a disciplined trader through a series of small & boring, actions, repeated everyday, until they become instinct - who you are. These actions are not heroic, they do not garner attention, praise, or really much at all: they are identify forming.  Just as you drink water when you are thirsty, or brush your teeth before bed, these low intensity actions are almost instinctive. So keep your trading a clean space. The right thing to do is often the boring one. That's how you reprogram your overstimulated limbic system. Kaizen: incremental improvement by making small, sustainable changes over time. The solution is not a grand set of rules, a half-assed promise to yourself to "do the right thing starting tomorrow" or "never over-leverage again"... it is instead to make small, calculated redirections, to shape your long-term behaviours and nervous system responses. Here is a simple framework based on the Japanese philosophy of kaizen to approach rewiring your responses to losses. 1. When you lose a trade, immediately stand up, walk to the sink, and drink a glass of water. 2. At the end of the trading day, red or green, journal, and reflect on just two question: i. Did I get up, and drink a glass of water when I lost today? ii. Did I blow my account today? What you are doing is creating space between stimuli and action. Your instinct is to revenge trade, make it back, over leverage etc. Instead simply drink some water, chill the fuck out, and realize that as long as you have equity to trade with, meaning the answer to question (ii) at the end of each day is "No"... you will be absolutely fine. In time losses will mean significantly less to you, and your nervous system will not see a loss as such an imminent threat, which justifies a huge action (an action[s] you almost always regret afterwards) Identify areas of your trading, and moreso your life, and apply kaizen. Small incremental changes, to reshape your identify. You will never be a perfect trader, nor a perfect man. You will still have bad days. You will still make mistakes. That is the human condition. What will change is the long term destructive spirals. The type of spirals that walk you back to square 1 each time; the spirals you promised yourself 100 times you wouldn't see yourself in again. You do not need to become a good trader immediately; you simply need to become a person who destroys themselves a little less each day... that's it. No need for perfection; no need for destruction. No "changing your life in 30 days" or resetting your funded account stack every 2 weeks. Slow, boring, repetitive, identity shaping. Wake up, brush your teeth, take your trade, win? great. Lose? drink your water, journal your 2 questions. Afterwards.... go on about your day and live your life. Repeat. Slow, boring, repetitive, identity shaping.

@cebsmt Damn clean

Notes on Friday’s oil trade

@xotradez 10r week incoming

GC Breakeven 100% my fault, gotta learn and move on from here.

Ended the week taking 2 losses (1 in Asia , 2nd in AM) Still up on the week like 1r monetary on most accounts but fresh funded took the 2 losses so down -2r. on that but we keep it moving! ❤️🧘‍♂️

@eriktrades_ @AccurateTradez Inaction is just as important as action 🧘‍♂️

@AccurateTradez exactly. the hardest part in trading is NOT trading. this is one of the very very few professions where more participation does not equate to better results

you get caught in consolidations because you're trying to look at price action under the assumption that it will behave the same way an expansion candle does this works very well with the daily candle, making assumptions that the high or low of day has been put in is low probability under a daily candle that is set to consolidate the best expansive moves are moves that are painfully obvious, everyone will know it's going a certain direction if you can frame both sides, stay away this is why you see your mentors take the exact same trades every single day under the model that we trade avoid consolidations, focus on relevant levels, and the majority of your losses will be removed yes, trading is that simple

@basedrr @theforgetradinq I do not know ball w this but yeah man ‼️🧘‍♂️

@kyrostrader @theforgetradinq bro activated his rinnegan

$YM | +2r 2/2 Played it both ways like the queen of spades. ♠️

@xotradez @theforgetradinq Ref do somethin 😭

Thanks for the sig powell

@GxTradez Thankful for you man. ❤️

When you build something from the ground up, the pride hits different. Not because of how it looks now… but because of what it took to get here. Hundreds of hours refining every rule, every sequence, every alignment. Plenty of moments I was close to walking away. But I didn’t. Now it’s structured. It’s repeatable. It works. And now I get to watch it change people’s lives all over the world… that’s what really makes me proud. Nothing beats that feeling.

@AccurateTradez @theforgetradinq Thank you goat

@kyrostrader @theforgetradinq Well played

P.S.
