Successful trading is hard work because it means disciplining your mind to do the opposite of human nature. Buying during a panic, selling during euphoria, and holding on when you are bored and just craving a little action. trading is 5% intellect and 95% temperament.
I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income.
That's smart. I'm quite lucky exposed to personal finance at an early age, worked full time when I was 19, purchased first home at 28. Going forward, got laid off at 36 amid covid-outbreak, and immediately consulted an advisor to stay afloat. As of today, I'm only 15% short of my $1m goal after subsequent investments.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Teresa L. Athas” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
You actually don't get better when you're practicing, but when you rest and sleep, your mind upgrades and integrates. A lot of pro athletes musicians artists intellectuals could testify their breakthrough comes after a period of long hiatus, a natural pruning process the brain does to become more efficient. When a pro stops practicing for a few months and come back, he'll realize suddenly he has new perspective and even improved muscle memories.. there's actual science to not practicing.
100% agree. Every time I come back from vacation, I see a lot of things I didnt not see before, simply because my mind is fresh. Some things are so simple and easy to change that I am nearly getting annoyed with myself that I didnt notice them before. As for sleeping, the same. Had to learn this hard way though. 😊
I've been saying this for years. When I was a kid I used to skate. I would spend days and days trying to learn something and when I was on the edge of a breakthrough I'd get super frustrated and take a hiatus. I'd wake up one day with the motivation to try again and my brain had worked out the nuances that were holding me back and I'd be able to land a trick. It was the greatest thing I ever discovered to allow one to keep moving forward in progression. Most people would just say "eh, maybe but I'm not sure I believe that."

One strategy one timeframe one fx pair per account is what leveled me up . Any deviation brings inconsistent results always . Build consistency then build capital through prop firm funding and build realistic wealth . If you backtest your strategy and them follow this principle youl be unstoppable
I agree. I only traded one pair, 5m tf and I have a good profit my problem is I don't close losers soon. That's why I watch psychological talk about trading because I truly believe that trading is not just the ticks but how you think and what you feel when you are in a trade
It differs from one person to another. I tried trading EU for a long time on all time frames. This resulted in a very low frequency of trading, very low RR and bad win rate
It took me four years to discover that forecasting the market based on charts is pointless; you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those four years were miserable. Now, I watch market trends and keep things basic and disciplined. I currently earn an average of $35k every week, despite the fact that I barely trade myself.
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Alex Antonio. A widely known crypto consultant

Once you find a trading strategy that is easy to identify or use the next step is to be disciplined and consistent with your trading strategy. Literally all you need besides mastering your entries and exits. Its simple but difficult.

25:00 just like Thomas Muller in football⚽. He isn't as fast as ronaldo nor as skilled as Neymar nor as gifted as messi but he's one of the legends in football history. All he does is play smart that means being at the right place at the right time, space interpretor they say him
That MLB player example is priceless...simply invaluable....it reminds me to tunnel vision on what I do best and also to stop dabbling on everyhting or watching every youtube video looking for magic wand
So glad and appreciative for SMB Capital and Mike for sharing this content. Consistency is key before anything else. Thank you for showing the way. As retail traders, we read, we watch, but this one really sinks in for someone like me that is often distracted with the vast amount to learn to be good at this.
Never leaning until you find a solution is one of the best things that is helping me with my trading ever since I heard it from you on a previous video. In the past I would be like ok I’ll see tomorrow now I stay at my desk and say I need to find a solution to make this better. Thank you’ Smb and Bella great information!!
Very helpful oversight of a strong daily routine. A question if I may, @ 11:16 down the list shows "Build Technology." What does this encompass in laymen terms?
Fantastic speech and thanks for this great video, Mike. Would be interesting if you would detail more on the mental/cognitive aspects to chose one style or an other, how you strengthen them at the firm or guide inters toward one style or another one! Have a good day.
the steps may be simple but implementing them is insanely difficult. otherwise it would not be possible to profit from trading if everyone was winning.
I really needed this. Similar story to Miami traders. Ive made multiple 7 figs in a couple years then lost most the next 2 years. I know my issue but bad habits continue to happen….
If focusing only on one strategy, consistency, discipline and excellent execution were the only requirements to be successful in trading, then all trading robots would be immensely successful in trading.
Good video! Well, I'm so happy that I made the best decisions by making a good investment. Recently, I was able to acquire my third house even at my age and I believe that if things continue well, I will retire early
It's good! But how did you manage to achieve all this, even in the current economic context which is very bad? Please I would appreciate your help on how to proceed, I am desperate for a way to pay off my debts and achieve my goals
Bitcoin has been going up and down for a while now and it could continue to rise. The truth is that no one knows, I think it is a good time to make a purchase and also seek professional assistance
Many people are struggling financially to live, keep a roof over their head and put food on the table. Anyone who fails to grow their wealth financially right now is missing out on a tremendous opportunity. Imagine I start a $2,500 financial plan and get $17,380 in profits.
Yes, it's true, there's a lot of talk about investing lately, but I'm new and I'm also curious about where to start. Can anyone explain to me how to invest and where to start?
Sometimes getting away from something can give the mind a chance to put all the pieces together. You can remember more if you don’t stuff too much info at once. Just my opinion
What the wife did by saying, "He's on vacation. Why not give him a day off," was she set up the condition in the son's mind that he shouldn't be passionate and work hard every day at what he loves to do. The husband asked the son if he wanted to practice. If he doesn't pull that psychological monkey wrench out of his mind that she threw in there, he'll never be as good as he could be. The son said, "Yes." The wife hijacked what the son WANTED to do. She got in the middle of the father-son relationship. There are some things worth fighting for. I don't think I could stay long in a relationship with somebody who would consistently come between me and what I wanted to do, or what my child wanted to do.
all good. but it makes a difference between singles without kids and family regarding don't leave until you found a solution and working on holidays. As a parent you are responsible for your kids and family and they also deserve a normal life - not the kids fault if dad or mum are traders. the great thing about trading is, you are flexible and nobody forces you to trade. If there is an important day for the kids or family, no reason to trade. traders should also be aware their job has the advantage of flexibility. you only live once and trading/work and life needs to be balanced. You have the best results when relaxed and happy and family is happy. Find the best ratio between number of hours worked and profit. 80% of the time probably has 99% of profits too. Sometimes even higher when you skip loosing timeframes
I m working on being consistent i have been trying to figure it out but its no easy task i wish i could do their training. I have been spending so much money in online courses for nothing.
I think your stuff is great, your wife gets it, you don’t Mike, that’s why you cannot comprehend what she said. One day you will. “THE GREATER THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MIND, THE GREATER THE NEED FOR THE SIMPLICITY OF PLAY.”
When you want to be at your best, you don't have a desire to take days off. You want to drive until you reach, and then surpass your goals. I've never heard any state it so clearly... "I just don't understand how someone could not want to get better."

True Kobe Bryant never used to practice. He would rest and sleep when others were training and would kick ass on the court.

What is the best strategy to succeed in the market now for someone with more or less than $3000
It can be quite complex, so seeking professional guidance is a great idea.
You need a pro or very goodTrader. Someone like Stephany Reuben
Almost gave up due to constant losses, but Steph turned my luck around.
roughly 17k now comes in weekly
