I must tell you what no one will say.
Especially for those who still do not trade by a trading system.
Who is still in search, in analysis, in pattern breakdown, in 'searching for oneself'.

Look.
Most people's path looks something like this:
Stage 1. You trade in eternal uncertainty and are constantly learning. Danger: you can get bogged down for 5 years or more.
You take everything indiscriminately, patterns, candles, zones, YouTube, news, technical analysis.
A year passes. Then two. Then — another.
The problem: you know everything, but still don't make money.
At this stage, few make the decision: "Enough. I need a system."
Someone is gathering their trading system.
Someone takes someone else's as a basis.
Recently, a trader reached out to me.
6 years in the market. 6 years — and no results.
He says: "That's it. I will do it step by step, as it should be."
Six years is a very long time.
🔻 Stage 2. You try to follow the trading system… but constantly break it. Danger: to spend another 2-3 years on such trading.
This is already better than chaos. You start to see more clearly what works and what doesn't.
But you still break down, violate, re-enter, overthink.
You have a trading system, but you don't follow it.
Another trader recently told me:
"I'm already tired. Two years of ups and downs. It's time to follow the trading system and keep a diary. That's it!".
And it seems, that's it — now it will go well.
But no. This is just the beginning of the third stage.
🔻 Stage 3. You strictly follow the trading system… and start to understand that it needs calibration. Calibration also takes time.
Removing the unnecessary. Adding nuances.
And most importantly — to adapt it to yourself, not to someone else's idea.
And this is where the main pain occurs.
❗️ There is strong regret:
"Why didn't I start earlier?
Why didn't I follow the trading system earlier?
Why did I spend so many years on emptiness?
Because calibration takes time.
And you've already burned quite a bit of it.
And not just time. And not just money.
What to do?
If you don't have a trading system, take 1-2 months and create one. Find situations from your trading that regularly yield a profit. Calculate on paper whether they are enough to cover your losses.
✔️ If you have a trading system — finally start trading by it. It's better to have some trading system that you can work on and improve than none.
Why is this difficult?
Because everyone has their own breaking point.
⚫️One endures for 6 years to BUILD a trading system
⚫️The second one endures for 2 years to FOLLOW
The third takes half a year just on calibration
But time is still passing.
And the question is only where you spend it?
I know what I'm talking about.
I've been through all of this.
The sooner you start strictly following the trading system and keep a diary, the sooner you will see results.$ETH

LASTLY. EMOTIONS THAT INTERFERE WITH TRADING
---
Fighting emotions is useless. I will show you how otherwise
⚠️ Two important warnings:
1. You can't fight emotions.
Because fighting = pressure on yourself. And where there is pressure, there is stress and internal conflict.
2. If you 'endure' and enter a trade out of fear, and then incur a loss, you will only reinforce your doubts even more.
You will reinforce even stronger: 'I was right — this is dangerous, this is painful, better not to go there'.
❗️The reason for most emotions —
the absence of firm criteria and guarantees.
And if you've already faced liquidation, lost your deposit, lost not only money but also hope — then, of course, deep down remains: 'trading = threat to life'.
That's how the brain remembers pain.
And what to do?
There is only one way here — learning.
Gradual. Step by step.
Training yourself to prove:
"it's calm here, it's not scary here, I'm in control here."
❌ If you try to 'break yourself', you will get:
⚫️internal conflict
⚫️self-criticism
⚫️loss of faith in oneself
⚫️anger and fatigue
⚫️and, ultimately, emotional burnout
✔️New approach:
Remove the emotional block =
to show yourself that everything is under control.
How to do this?
1. Write down 1-2-3 clear criteria by which you enter a trade. No vagueness. Specific points.
2. Every time you feel anxious or uncertain — run through the scheme:
👉 Does the situation meet my 1-2-3 criteria?
⚫️YES → I open a trade
⚫️NO → I skip
Why is this important:
1. If there is a loss — you do not blame yourself.
You shift your focus to the criteria. And you can work with them.
This is the feeling of control.
2. You collect statistics.
Real data on your trades, not emotions.
And already after 20-30 trades you have not faith, but knowledge: what can be fixed, what can be improved.
Yes, it may not be easy.
BUT:
⚫️Did according to the trading system → well done. Even if there was a loss.
⚫️Broke the trading system → fool 😅 Even if there was a profit.
Working with a trading system and criteria is possible. It's control. It's much simpler.
But constantly torturing yourself will ultimately lead to a breakdown.
And yes, all these positive phrases, self-affirmations, scolding yourself —
all of this is complete nonsense. More like self-torture than a solution to the problem.
The trading system is your support.
Not emotions. Not inspiration. Not intuition.
And clear criteria.
