Hot take of the day?
If you’re a married man, you should not have Instagram.

Daily reminder:
Any prop firm challenge with a consistency rule is a 100% waste of your time and money.
Don’t think you’re going to be the 1%.
Stay away.

I received a payment of $2,176.62 USD from Lark Funding.
As always, I had the payouts from my two accounts combined into a single payment to save on fees. Thank you.
This brings the total amount I have received from Lark Funding to over $16,000 USD, and not once has a payout ht

Whenever I feel like I’m not doing enough in life, I just remind myself there’s fully grown men in their 30s that still use Snapchat.
I then instantly feel better.

It’s funny when influencers say you need to pass prop challenges as fast as possible and risk at least 2% per trade or more.
Sir, if that’s the key to success, then why are you selling a course in your bio?

Any prop firm that says they’re A-Booking all of their funded traders is lying to you.

Rolex is a poor mans idea of a rich man’s watch.
That’s why every trader has a Rolex even if they’re often fake.

@MeetMattL 3. Account flippers are not liars.
4. Risking more than 1% is not gambling, risking like 10% is.
6. Backtesting is not a waste of time, it helps in sharpening your edge.
7. Traders get better with time
8. Full time trading is not overrated
Great thread though

13) 99% of people don't make money because they just don't have patience.
If they gave themselves 24-36 months to truly learn, things would be different.
You're not going to perform brain surgery your first week in med school.

14) People fail because they don't know how to set goals.
Saying:
- I want to make 2% a week
- Or $4,000 a month
Is a terrible goal.
The market doesn't care.
Focus on inputs.
Not outputs.

12) The biggest level-ups in trading come from doing things outside of trading.
Example: The best trading books have nothing to do with trading.

11) People aren't resilient in trading because they're just not resilient in life.
How you do one thing is how you do everything.

9) You don’t need to be a great trader to make money.
You do need to have great discipline, though.

7) Traders often get worse, not better with time.
New traders don’t have beginner’s luck.
They do well because they keep it simple.

8) Full-time trading is completely overrated.
You’re trading to make money.
So, use the downtime to make money outside of trading.
It'll make you a better trader, too.

6) Backtesting is a complete waste of time.
I failed for years because I had bad trade management and I was an emotional trader.
Neither of those improves with backtesting.

4) If you risk more than 1% per trade, you're a gambler. Not a trader.

2) ICT is an unprofitable cult.
He took basic trading frameworks and slapped on fancy words and made up terms so people would think he's a genius.
And it worked.

3) Account Flippers Are Liars
If anybody tells you they can flip a $100 or $1,000 account into 6-figures and beyond, run away as fast as you can.

1) Don't Trust Anybody With A Neck Tattoo
Especially if they have a Lambo.
It's probably rented.
Their lifestyle is from courses, not trading.
