What draws you to trading might destroy you.
Contrary to how trading is marketed,day trading isn’t for everyone
It looks like freedom but it feels like war
It’s not a job
It’s not a side hustle
It’s a mirror
Everyone can place a trade
Few are willing to look in the mirror
And face their fears and beliefs and head on
It’s chess - strategy
It’s poker - psychology
A video game - dopamine
All wrapped risk
It attracts the obsessed
Those who think deeply
And are risk takers
The 9-5 world offers certainty
Trading strips that away
Exposes parts of your routine
You think you are here to make money
But the real game ?
Making peace with yourself
You only want control but only win consistently when you surrender to the process
The market doesn’t care what you want
It only reflects who you are being in the moment and how well you respond
Don’t trade to prove something
Don’t trade to escape something
Trade to become something greater
Remember why you started because it’s too easy to loose your way
If you don’t define your path intentionally
The market will define it for you
And you may not come back from it ,loosing your capital or worse , your will to trade
Fear Ego Hope
