      what im saying is that all these guys that fake the funk aren't really out here doing those types of trades.
      the real ones you never hear too much about and its for a reason.
      they're not selling courses online.
      Mike Ser trader's channel highlights and documents these real ones. and he even sometimes talks to them if they're still around. a lot of them are still multi millionaires to this day because they got into other business and expanded their portfolios and used the trading money to invest in other assets

    Just what I was thinking a week ago with a mobile game that I am playing 4-5 times per week for the last 3 years or so. Even though I had many defeats I managed to accomplish high rank levels on every characters that I was able to unlock.
    So I thought to my self, " There are times I am consistently loosing in the game, and other times I am consistently wining. But the end result is that I have accomplished a high rank. So this should be my mentality on anything I do in my life, even on trading !"

      Unfortunately with video games (or any game), you can only lose 1R per game. No matter how rekt you get or how bad your team gets blown out, it's still only one game. In trading one bad "game" or session can destroy your entire career.

      You can't care because the market consolidates for weeks on end consistently. Your job is to trade so you survive what you know is coming then make that back and a bit more when it's not consolidating. If you go back and look at the NASDAQ in any 1 hour chart you will see that it hardly moves from any 1 point most of the time. These periods eliminate the get rich people consistently.

    Man this is probably the deepest video you’ve made ppl just don’t understand how impactful this can be. You have to change your whole perspective on trading so that it’s not as threatening. I like the idea of not losing all your coins or else you have to start over. I’m a big ready player one fan so that is how I now envision myself as I trade. Good stuff ✌🏾

      @@ecstasyrealm6803 well, if you are trading options or stocks, Matt Diamond is a great one to watch for live trading. His opening range break strategy is very specific though. He only trades one setup, and that’s what I was using in my old videos. Clay trader is great to watch to see what you shouldn’t do with stocks and options. Day Trader Next Door is the greatest futures trader I have ever seen and he is very humble. I’ve shouted him out many times, and I see a bunch of my subscribers always commenting on his videos which makes me happy. I’ll lyk if I think of any others. The ones who upload trading strategies are almost useless. My SnD video was never made with the intention of getting a lot of views. I had about 20 subs when I did that lol.
