Bro It Gets Easier...

I remember sitting in my apartment at 2 AM, staring at red numbers on my trading screen.

Trading is so fucking hard. It will break you. It will make you cry.

But guess what? It gets easier.

Another losing day. Another account on life support.

I was exhausted. Frustrated. Ready to quit.

Maybe you're feeling that way right now.

You've watched hundreds of YouTube videos. You've studied every indicator. You've tried every strategy that promised overnight millions.

And your results? Mediocre at best. Devastating at worst.

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

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.

My first two years of trading were a complete disaster. I'm talking blow-up-multiple-accounts level of disaster.

I was working my 9-5, coming home, and spending 6 more hours staring at charts.

Weekends? Chart time. Holidays? More charts. Family events? Sorry, gotta check this setup.

The obsession was real. The results weren't.

Here's the thing though  trading feels impossible until suddenly... it doesn't.

It's like learning to drive. Remember how overwhelming that was?

Check mirrors. Watch speed. Signal turns. Don't kill anyone.

Now you drive without even thinking about it.

Trading works the same way.

At first, it's pure chaos.

Every candle looks important.

Every news event seems significant. Every loss feels personal.

But then something clicks.

For me, it was when I finally understood that liquidity is the only thing that truly matters in the markets.

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.

Once I realized the big players were simply going after clusters of stop losses, everything simplified.

I stopped trying to predict the market and started reacting to what was actually happening.

My trading went from chaos to consistency in less than 90 days once I had this realization.

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.

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.

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. Until next time,

Atif.
