BUY YOUR OWN DIP

“Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.”
~ Bruce Lee

Traders begin in a state of relative ignorance, and end up painfully aware. When they win, they don’t care about what they don’t know. When they lose, they’re obsessed with knowing everything.

Information is totally overrated. Self reliance is severely underrated.

Traders say they want financial freedom, yet they sacrifice independent thinking to whomever they can follow who might hold the next “best kept secret”.

There are no secrets in markets, but there are millions of mediocre distractions.

The worst thing you can do in any success endeavour is sacrifice autonomy.

Every trader I speak to wants to be wealthy, but the ones who stand out to me as having the most potential have one thing in common:

They are determined to do it their way.

Some mention to me after years of trying to be profitable that “something’s missing”.

They still think it’s a knowledge issue, or that somehow they’re not smart enough.

I’m talking about six figure professionals with families, great careers, high level degrees and all the rest of what society considers successful.

It’s nuts, but I get it.

We’re conditioned from birth to believe that it’s always knowledge that separates us from our potential

That’s never been true.

It’s self development, which I would describe as the pursuit of potential through experience, purpose, meaning and creativity.

Nobody talks about this when it comes to trading.

Just draw some more lines, use this timeframe and you’re going to retire early.

If only…

Truth is, every popular approach can work in most market conditions, but the core principle of wealth will always be compounding.

Making money is one thing, keeping and growing it requires a different level of operation.

It requires a higher degree of accountability than most of life’s pursuits.

If you blame external circumstances when you don’t win, you’re making excuses.

If you throw out your approach every time it doesn’t work, you’re missing the point.

Everything starts to click when you identify what you do best.

That certainly requires time and effort. More importantly, it requires you to be a person with a specific set of characteristics:

• Objective perception of reality

• Able to handle uncertainty

• Focus on efficient problem solving

• Resistance to indoctrination

• Appreciative of experience

• Strong moral/ethical standards

I often talk about people needing to develop their own systems. The attitude required to do this is a childlike level of immersion, focus and concentration on walking your own path in life.

The best traders I know eventually operate on instinct; they develop a gut feel for what they do best and listen only to themselves.

They have created the persona of a trader who can operate in uncertain circumstances with complete control of their mental and emotional environment.

They treat trading as an infinite game, avoid unproductive and pretentious behaviours and trust their own experience.

It’s a position of full accountability to self.

That type of trader wants to create their own system and ruthlessly exploits it, constantly seeking ways to improve.

They relentlessly examine their own work to achieve self-actualisation, having given up scrolling social media in the hope of finding perfection a long time ago.

The negative self talk becomes less of a daily factor and the market can no longer affect their self esteem.

Market mastery is an inner game of curating your own reality in order to find opportunity for growth before profit.

Self mastery leads to market mastery.

Before you feel hopeless and trade another alert or follow another stranger with a solution, take a moment to consider whether you’ve been selling yourself short all this time.

If you have, buy your own dip.

P.

The CONSISTENCY course starts again on 3rd June.

It is simply the best way to learn how to create your own profitable system.

In the last course, one trader made over $13k in 3 days.

I wasn’t surprised.

Once you identify what you do best, systematise and embody it, the results you want become a matter of fact over time.

It’s that simple.

We work on creating the biggest ideas in the market, the correct understanding of how markets work without all of the excessive technical concepts, and simply go to work with the right routines to ensure ongoing success.

Most traders never develop a system. They think it’s all on the chart, even when they’re constantly losing.

Superior systems achieve superior results.
