Apparently, a lot of traders are scared to tell people what they do…
It’s crazy. This market is FULL of opportunities…
But because of common assumptions, misconceptions, groupthink — and a bunch of BS thanks to scammers and social media haters — some people are actually avoiding telling others that they trade.
My whole reason for becoming a teacher was to expose this nonsense and show people how to break free.
I get that some people want to be private.
But having to deny you’re a trader because people will look down on you (or question your life choices) is ridiculous.
There are SO many opportunities in the market and NOW is the best I’ve seen in my 25+ years of trading.
For me … trading is the best job ever
The fact that trading has such a bad rep really saddens me.
It’s one of the greatest jobs in the world. Especially for those starting out with very little, but who are hungry for success.
It IS possible if you are willing to put in the hard work and effort to become self-sufficient.
FAR too many short sellers, fakes, scammers, HODLers and all sorts of irresponsible degenerate gamblers give trading a bad name.
They disgust me.
When done properly, trading is SO amazing in so many ways…
And it’s not just about the money. Yes, the potential financial rewards are amazing (once you figure it out).
But it goes so much deeper.
Trading Will Teach You About Yourself
I don’t know a single successful trader who’s done it without becoming more self-aware.
Look, to trade, you have to face your emotions on a very deep level.
We all experience the full range of emotions, from deep fear to euphoria.
Trading speeds it all up.
To make it, you have to learn to accept what you cannot change and change what you can. Otherwise, it’s incredibly difficult.
Trading requires you to increase your intellect.
It is one of the most intellectually satisfying skills you can develop. But what most people don’t know is that you are literally rewiring your brain…
• Learning new skills improves your working memory.
• It helps to slow down age-related cognitive decline.
• And it literally changes your brain structure, through something called neuroplasticity.
The crazy thing is, you don’t have to be good at math.
Whether you were good at school doesn’t matter. At all.
What matters is dedication to learn, to challenge yourself and to grow your knowledge account first, before your trading account.
In my opinion, there aren’t enough positive words in the English language to properly describe trading…
The good news is real, honest, life-changing information is finally getting out to more and more people.
Since the end of the PDT, with FAR more liquidity and volatility than ever, there is more opportunity than ever.
Not to mention the awesome extended hours trading.
Proud to Be a Trader & Teacher
Yes, I’m obsessed with trading and travel. Once you realize how beautiful our world is, I hope you’ll do the same…
How great is this view to wake up to?!
I don’t think I will ever get over it…
I hope you realize how TRULY insane our world is and you promise to study/work hard enough to BUILD YOUR DREAM LIFE OVER TIME!
I am PROUD to be a trader and a trading teacher!
Shame on all those who make this sport into anything other than the cherished pastime it is for me and so many of my students.
My goal is to help more people cut through the BS and capitalize on the amazing opportunities we see in the market day in and day out.
How bad do you want it?
Get inspired and hustle harder.
