It took 6 Fucking Years to make my first 6 fucking figures Zooming in it actually took 2 years with 80% of that coming in the last 7 months. I started in the markets 2020 during COVID like everyone else. I was in high school at the time covid happened and well I decided to start trading, opened broker account April 2020. 2020-2022 was nothing but errors. Just typical retail trading. Trading to trade, didnt learn, didnt know anything, no playbook, just would trade what I wanted and yea. I look back and cringe at ALL my trading stuff. I remember my "hard work" would be me going back to 2020 onDemand and saying if I invested 1k of SPY here I wouldve made 10k the next day 😂 How amateur of me to not change but at the same time I was around the wrong people and we fell into the ig furu trap and didnt have the right mentors. I made consistent money in 2022 from May- September (20k) quit my job, and in November 2022 I blew up like 6k of that in 1 day. Took about 1 month off, came back, made most of it back in 2 months, then again in April of 2023 blew it back all, I decided to get a job since not working was hurting my pockets, got a job, came back July 2023 after saving 10k. THEN I blew it ALL up August 2023. After this I quit. I was done with trading, I went back to college and was figuring out what I wanted to do. I was looking to getting my CDL, or getting into a trade school, but settled for a CC for the time being given it was free and registration date was ending in 2 days lol, also made me feel like I wasnt wasting time lol. Then I ended up in a finance class and it talked about trading and it genuinely sparked my interest again and knew I needed to give it another shot. My prior "pod" all blew up and I decided to come back alone and do it right this time. I needed to study people who were actually profitable and no more of that quick dopamine, lambo/ get rich quick guru's. This was when @TheOneLanceB started to really post consistently and I studied all his stuff at the time. and when I came back in January 2024 I applied a lot of his advice: Weekly Reviews of top plays Saving Books of Charts Reverse Engineering and doing Write ups DRC's Saving & studying tape etc. My sole goal of 2024 wasnt to make money, It was to genuinely learn the right way and get better at this game. So, I traded small size was just using 5-10 shares at the time. Focused on the Process. Then June 5, 2024 NVDA was setting up a FRD setup the next day and I studied for that trade A LOT, the next day June 6, the setup setup just as I saw in my write ups/ book of charts. I hit it and made my first 1k trade that day and that day single handedly sparked a spark in me I cannot describe. Its like this was possible and I can do it. Since then been just doing the same work, refining it a lot but simply trying to get better. FF a bit, in 2025 I realized I been consistent a bit, I spotted that April tariff turn, made 5k off that and realized I have edge in a certain playbook but would lose a lot in other stuff, kept trading small and it was until my buddy @Deconsecrated2 engrained mastering the playbook I make money in and scale it. So I did and since September 2025 been avging 5 fig months now just trading the playbook I have edge in. A fuck load of work to do and Im nowhere near my potential but im super super proud I hit this mark given 3 years ago I quit. This shit is way harder than it seems. The amount of work it requires is insane.
