How many of you out there are feeling like you could have done better?
Like you could have played this market so much better and been in such a better position?
Well, I got some reassuring news for you.
There is not a person in this space who doesn't think they could have done better.
Yes, even the most successful and wealthy traders.
Especially those guys, actually.
This entire part of this game is what makes it so hard...
Because it is literally impossible to not have this feeling.
Why?
Because its impossible to:
1- Buy the bottom
2- Sell the top
3- Predict the future
So by the markets very nature, you are ALWAYS making mistakes and timing things wrong...
Because we only have our best guess, and our best guess is going to wrong a lot more than it is right.
Then we have our lovely friend Mr Hindsight.
Ah, yes, the hindsight that is impossible to know beforehand, that always fucks with us because when we have the luxury(pain) of looking back our decisions we think...
"man... i should have done this or that"
But chads..... you didnt know?
How could you know?
The hard and bottom line is this.
Part of being successful is accepting that you will always have to deal with the fact that you could have done better, and being ok with it.
Having the strength and courage to make decisions and deal with the outcome no matter what it is.
It is vital for your success that adopt this mindset. That you accept that you will fall short every day, and that you are ok with that because you always try your best.
If you have a target of $100k, be happy with $60k.
At the end of the day, we are not here to get everything right and better than everyone else...
We're here to improve our lives and securing the bag.
And securing the bag will require you to probably buy too late and sell too early sometimes...
But that is what it is.
