This post is for those who have not succeeded yet.
I was introduced to trading in 2022 through YouTube. I watched many hours of educational content and started trading. At first, I made some profit, but soon I lost everything back to the market. It affected me deeply, but I didn’t quit.
Later, I discovered binary options through Instagram and traded them for a while. Looking back, it was nothing more than gambling, and I lost money there too.
After about a year, I moved into Forex. People said it was more technical and more professional than crypto. I started learning seriously — first price action, then Smart Money concepts, then ICT. I studied all of them. For a short period, I was profitable, but the losses came back again. My trades often went into profit and then reversed to hit my stop loss.
Then I discovered prop firms. I became obsessed with them. I bought accounts, lost them, bought again, and lost again. This continued until April 2025, when I had no money left and no motivation either.
After a two-month break, I realized something had to change. I knew my goal was right, but my path was wrong.
I deleted everything related to Forex and started again from zero in crypto. After three years, I finally understood myself. I realized that the biggest obstacle was me. As long as I didn’t understand myself, my decisions were driven by emotions, guesses, and social media noise.
I removed almost everything that had no real value. Now I’m finally on the right path. Trust the process. Time is your most valuable asset. Stay away from distractions. Technical analysis is only 10%. The other 90% is mindset — and that’s what we focus on here.
