Stop learning new strategies.
You don't have a strategy problem.
You have an execution problem.
I've used the same 3 setups for 10 years.
The strategy didn't change.
My ability to follow it did.
Master one thing. Repeat it 10,000 times.

Hyper cars are the new super cars.
Nobody is impressed by lamborghinis, Porsche GT3RS or any car under $500k anymore thanks to social media.

Most traders quit 6 months in.
Right before they would've figured it out.
They lose $3k total and think
"this isn't for me."
I lost far more before I became profitable.
The difference?
I didn't quit when it hurt.
Your timeline isn't 6 months.
It's 2-3 years minimum.
Act accordingly.
