Trading is not a battle with the market — it’s a battle with your own self.
The market never defeats you.
You defeat yourself when:
You become emotional
You fall into greed
You trade with a gambling mindset
You get angry at losses
You become arrogant with profits
Trading is a mechanical business, but your ego makes it emotional.
The one who controls their ego — will smile at the market.
And the one who becomes a slave to their ego — the market will crush them to dust.
So, if you want to succeed:
Don’t try to control the market's movements, control your own.
Tell your ego:
“I am not a slave to greed, fear, loss, or profit.
I am a professional trader, and I play this game based on principles.”
Success is not in the market — not in a signal —
Success is within your own self.
If you conquer that, every market will bow to you.
