why everyone should be a trader
Everyone is a liar.
I was browsing through YouTube yesterday and saw three different videos all titled a variation of:
"How I made $X Million trading this year."
Interesting…
I could've sworn you'd been saying you got rich from drop shipping for the past three years!
But who am I to judge?
This shift actually benefits me and my students immensely.
Let's think about the domino effect this is creating...
Domino #1: Big trading gurus like Warrior Trading, and Ross Cameron make content about how you need $25k accounts and complex setups to be profitable.
Domino #2: More people believe trading requires huge capital and advanced strategies.
Domino #3: Everyone copies the gurus, now everyone and their mother is buying $5k courses and 47-indicator systems.
And finally...
Domino #4: There are too many overcomplicating retail traders and not enough people who understand that institutions keep it simple.
Smart liquidity-based trading is needed more than ever and there are plenty of opportunities for those who get it.
I guess Domino #5 is Porsche having to make more 911s because me and everyone else inside iron forged who actually learned proper order flow are buying up inventory.
(Legally I cannot promise you a Porsche or even a Honda for that matter).
But to be clear – we're already on Domino #4.
And it's only gonna get better.
What do you think all these failed retail traders will do when their 200-indicator systems stop working?
"Here's how I finally learned to trade like the banks do."
The cycle continues.
It's like being a poker pro.
As more amateur players sit down with their "systems" and emotions, the professionals make more money.
The institutions have the order flow data, the capital, and the discipline...
Retail provides the liquidity – they're the fish at the table.
They think they're playing the same game when really they're the product.
Sounds familiar.
This is how you win without needing to be the next Paul Tudor Jones.
While everyone else is adding more indicators and trying to predict market direction, smart money is learning to read institutional footprints.
Unless you have billions and direct market access...
But first, you need to understand what actually moves price.
My new free training shows exactly how banks position themselves and why retail is always on the wrong side.
Most won't show.
Too busy looking for magic indicators.
Your choice.
