Honestly 1 of the reasons I want to spend less time in front of screens is simple. There is NO END to this game. Uwill NEVER be satisfied no matter how much 💵u make. And the more 💵u make, the LESS that 💵means to u, so u endup increasing size endlessly just to get the same rush

When u're a beginner trader, making ur first $100 in 1 day feels like the best day of ur life. U're excited & want to tell everyone.

Fast forward 1 year later and making $5K in 1 day feels like the worst day of ur life b/c that's ACTUALLY a day where u underperformed.

Then add another year & u see where this is going. Eventually u get to a point where u're making entire SALARIES in 1 day and still feel like like u underperformed. U become so detached from reality that u forget that some ppl will never even see that kind of money in a lifetime

Meanwhile life is passing u by, ur kids & friends are growing old, ur grandparents that u promised u'd visit are dying, ur health is deteriorating, ur bucket list is still full even tho u have the money to empty it, all b/c u're too addicted to adding another 0 to ur daily PNL

That's why I preach balance so much now. Before trading we promise to ourselves "1 day i'll never have to work a 9-5".

But then we excel at trading & end up staying in front of screens from 7am to 4pm. Then another 4+ hours of review & tracking lmao what? make it make sense.

That's why I laugh so hard when ppl ask me for the last 5 yrs "oPeN a cHatRoOm bRo". WHAT?? so i can be in front of screens even LONGER?? for what? an extra $50-100K a month?? No thanks fam. Goal of trading was to be free from my boss, not create a new one.

So conclusion, im not saying "dont slave". Nah, u're gonna HAVE to slave to be good at this game. But ONCE u become good, put on the brakes & remember why u started trading (freedom).

but since im still addicted, I just swingtrade now😂I still need my fix bro
