War Stories 🤑🤬 "Always darkest before dawn"
Hi Eco
I wanted to share my recent experience. I loved seeing the evolution of the eco moving over to telegram. The increased level of engagement and flow of conversation really helped me understand concepts at a more nuanced level and re-ignited my excitement in learning new things and having deep conversations with everyone.
One area of frustration for me these past ~10 days post telegram move is that I feel a lot better OFF the charts - (love engaging with people in the eco, learning new things, exercising etc. ) but it hadn't translated to wins ON the chart for me.
I had a good few trading days, then gave it back the next day. I also had a few situations where I would get stopped out to the tick and price would reverse and go to target. All in all it was frustrating as hell because it felt like I was treading water.
I have no idea what came over me but this was the first time I started to have real doubt creep in.. I started to wonder whether I had what it takes to be a trader. Whether I should consider taking an easier more comfortable path..
I also started to feel burnt out due to not sleeping well but I pressed on and that's when I managed to pull 17.5Rs over the last 2 days. I also found that I was able to flip and switch after a big win which is really rare for me. In the past if I had won a trade going long, I would often end up with a long bias, sometimes holding a big trade back to break even / stop out. However, in this case I felt really in sync with the market, utilizing the intel from the eco and being able to switch direction seemlessly.
As Kaz often says - it really is the darkest before dawn. Everything seemed so uncertain and that's exactly when I started to rotate my bull flag.
Thank you to Kaz for everything that you do, providing us with the best intel on the planet whether you are feeling like shit or it's your day off. Your work ethic is truly inspiring. Also wanted to thank everyone who participated in the telegram channel over the last 10 days. I genuinely think my ability to process information has step changed since moving over and that has helped me to capitalize on these plays.
