You want to make trading your career but you're not willing to treat it as such-- your occupation. You're still stuck gambling. You're not spending time sharpening your edge, backtesting your strategy, understanding the importance of risk management and sticking to your rules. Instead, you're just burning money.
Would you be careless with any other business? A "real" business? If you had an important meeting at 9am, would you get hammered the night before, sleep in, and show up at 9:30am wearing sweatpants?
No chance.
But for some reason, you're still trading like shit. Taking trades with no setups, not abiding by your system, keep adding to your positions when they don't go your way praying for an exit, and keeping trades open based on hopes n dreams of them working out.
You keep fuckin up.
You owe it to yourself to take this shit seriously-- it's a golden opportunity to work whenever, wherever, from any place in the world, to take advantage of and capitalize on information you can recieve before the rest of the population can even comprehend it, and most importantly-- there is no ceiling on your salary.
The upside is infinite.
How well you do depends solely on how much work you're willing to put in. If you're not waking up with it, going to sleep with it, breathing it, infatuated by it during every waking moment, you'll be stuck being average.
In an environment where 95% of participants lose,
there's no fucking room for average.
Lock in or clock in.
Up to you.
