Bro It Gets Easier...

Trading is so fucking hard.

It will break you.

It will make you cry.

But guess what?

It gets easier.

Here’s the thing: Trading is simple but not easy.

Now, what do I mean by this?

I mean that being a profitable trader requires only one or two things.

Yet most of us overcomplicate trading.

We tinker with our models on a losing streak, which removes our edge.

Or even worse, we strategy-hop.

But after years of trading, there are only a handful of things I use—so let’s dive into them.

The Reality of Trading

Less is more in trading.

You only need a few things mastered very well to become a profitable trader.

In fact, these three things will make you financially free ASAP:

My Golden 3

• Liquidity: The markets only move liquidity (stop-loss orders) on the higher time frames. Understand this, and you will get the direction right 90% of the time.
• Liquidity Sweeps: These are stop runs. This is why the price hits your stop loss before instantly reversing to your take profit. The key is to enter after a liquidity sweep, not before.
• Simple Entries: The entry pattern is the least important thing. As long as you are using liquidity and enter after a liquidity sweep, you will be good.

A Quick Note From Atif:

Money.com are great for insurance. I would highly recommend checking them out and picking up some great deals. Any visits helps support the newsletter!

Here’s why workplace life insurance might not be enough

Unexpected events shouldn't leave your loved ones financially exposed. And while employer coverage is a nice perk, it usually only offers 2x your salary – far below the recommended 10-15x for real security (especially with dependents). Term life insurance can bridge the gap with customizable, affordable plans. Money’s Best Life Insurance list can help you find coverage starting at just $7/month, providing the peace of mind your family deserves.

Mindset Matters

Most people ignore mindset, and not only do they stay unprofitable, they also remain poor and miserable for the rest of their lives.

I was one of them until I changed my subconscious mind.

You see, 95% of your behaviour is habitual.

This means you don’t even think about it; you just do it.

Ever broken your rules, even though you knew they were wrong, and later regretted it? That’s why.

Your behaviour determines your actions, and your actions determine your results.

If you want to be a profitable trader, then you need to reprogram your subconscious mind.

Now, for brevity’s sake, I won’t dive deeper into this topic, as it deserves its own email. However, the interested reader should study Bob Proctor’s work on paradigms.

But what you need to know is that trading does get easier.

All your time should be spent focusing on these three:

• Liquidity (including liquidity sweeps)
• A simple strategy that uses liquidity
• Master your mindset—reprogram your subconscious mind to fix your psychology forever.

Focus on these three, and you will be profitable in months, not years.

Also, I’d love to hear from you:
• What’s your biggest challenge when analyzing your charts?
• How long have you been trading for?
• Have you looked into mindset?

Until next time,
