I got “outsmarted” by the forex market…
I believed this one particular lie for way too long…and it held me back for years as a result
It’s the idea that having MORE information at your disposal will lead to better results. Believing you can “outsmart” the market if you just know everything.
Like a stalker I wanted to know where the forex market slept, his IP address, and his social security number…
I used to scour the internet for hours searching all the different forums, Youtube videos, and Facebook groups to find the answers to everything.
I wanted to know the best way to manage a trade, the best entry style, and the best technical analysis tools.
I thought this gave me an upper-hand
If I know EVERYTHING then the market can never fool me (HAHA!)
What really happened?
My brain was constantly all over the place.
When I show up to the charts ready to trade, I would instantly feel a giant pit form in my stomach…
My anxiety cranked through the roof.
100s of thoughts and ideas would flow through my brain leaving me feeling extremely unsure of what to do next.
I was completely paralzyed in the moment.
You likely feel the same way but I’m here to help you fix it.
What I quickly discovered was that having MORE information actually gave me WORSE results. The market actually outsmarted me in reality…
You see…
Having so many different options for how to enter, exit, and operate in the markets left my brain confused.
It had the opposite effect of what I desired.
Imagine a medical student switching universities every few weeks so that he could “get all the best information”.
Do you think he would get very far?
Definitely not…
This applies as much - even more - to trading.
If you’re constantly searching for answers to everything in hopes of “outsmarting” the market you will be toast.
It’s better to follow a proven system that has been taught to over 4,000 students successfully. Many of whom went on to trade full-time with different prop firms like FTMO.
You need a system that teaches you how to trade from start to finish so you don’t need to search everywhere.
