When i first started i was desparate to find someone willing to share a system that satisfied my intuitive growth standard. Although my desparation was no match for my ego at the time. I sounded like some of you guys here, everyone was fake, all mentors were scams and no one is sharing the good stuff, i was entitled and was not getting what i wanted, i knew it would take time, i would have to humble myself, prove my worthiness of such a lucrative engagement, it was time to grow up, and i dont mean age, i mean start the endless process of admitting you are wrong and adjusting, over and over and over for years. You get good at sensing your rate of innovation. Yea so I used to think im going to have to figure this out on my own, im the hero, im the best and if i cant do it these idiots sure cant either, damn scammers. Sound like anyone on here?? Instead of labeling mentors as vague mysterious scammers i should have just understood that when you develop a trading model that works the instinct is to keep it to ourselves, even when i teach, a part of me is encrypting the lesson, the selfish part of me. The mentors i was following at the time, lori and ict, were actually giving us the real stuff point blank, i mislabled them as vague, i was just ignorant, acting like an idiot.
I came up with an objective, to familiarize myself with all the currency pairs and assume all my ideas worked, then backtest each one for consistency. For the last decade, every single idea that has popped into my head has been documented, i used to think of stuff while laying in bed and tell myself i will remember the next day, not getting up to spend a few more hours in a creative loop, was slowing me down. Can you establish this type if discipline, is the payoff of becoming a trader enticing enough for you? This is why i needed a bigger reason outside of myself to fuel my drive because after a couple of years, the time i was investing wasnt worth a lambo or a nice house anymore, i had to become selfless, virtuous grand scheme thinking of solving global issues and crisis, to reduce the suffering by a significant margin before my death, that way i die with a smile knowing i didnt waste my life. Suddenly i was never tired and every second i spent was more than worth it.
When i teach i naturally think, this kid better not be wasting my time, he better be worthy of this, do we even realize the level of freedom trading offers, the ultimate reward, the only invaluable currency, time. So i go slow with my students, make them do the leg work because at the end of the day, i made the sacrifice, I dont have to teach you shet. Im human and unlike many people im willing to admit that im no exception, im not immune to these instinctual flaws.
Its ok to ask for help, and it is ok to have big dreams and succeed in life. Did you know that every single concept you think of, while foggy at first, can be crystalized, concluded on. The crystalized version is required in order to test consistency. At some point i will create a detailed process of every piece of the developmental puzzle, what was going through my mind, how i came up with ideas, and what each idea goes through. There are techniques to discover effects more efficiently
My ultimate dream is to have a concrete procedure that turns people into multi millionaires. My entire company will be a self sustaining force, deploying global scalable civil protocols. If you have what it takes you are welcome, if you dont thats cool too, theres nothing wrong with learning from our limits. If you are still thinking about mentors the way i used to, I promise you have a long way to go. You care the most whether you make it or not so if this is a hobby to you, we care even less, we are self absorbed in our own stuff and have no problem leaving you behind. Wake up
