After 3 years of trading, I finally feel like I’ve cracked the code.
Over the years, I’ve been part of countless communities, spent a lot of money on mentors, and switched strategies more times than I can remember. Eventually, I realized that simplicity really is key.
About 3 years ago, I decided to start trading options. Looking back, I chose probably the most difficult path I could have taken. I started trading with my own money and blew account after account after account.
After 4–5 months, I switched to futures and prop firms. And, you guessed it, I blew evaluation after evaluation, even after passing some of them. I never managed to get a single payout.
At one point, I was in around 5 different trading communities, trying to learn as much as possible. But instead of helping me, it gave me a serious case of analysis paralysis. None of the communities were completely honest about what they were doing, so I kept jumping from one strategy to another while trying to combine their ideas with my own poorly developed edge.
After about a year of consistently losing money, I decided to go back to options. I had stumbled across a strategy that, in my opinion, seemed to work better on individual stocks.
And it kind of did.
For the first time, I was starting to see some consistency. However, because of the correlation and influence the “Big 7” have on each other, I was getting faked out quite often.
Then, one weekend while backtesting, I decided to test my strategy across different markets and pairs. That’s when I came across gold.
I had never really considered trading gold before, but after backtesting my strategy on it, I noticed something immediately: my edge worked WAY better on gold than it did on any stock I had tested.
From that day on, I started focusing on gold.
And the rest is history.
Last month, I didn’t have a single red day. Obviously, I still have losing days from time to time, but on average I’ve been making around $80K–$120K per month.
The crazy part is that, looking back, it’s actually much simpler than I ever thought it would be.
The hardest part was never finding the perfect strategy.
It was controlling my brain.
Having patience. Staying disciplined. Not constantly changing things when something doesn’t work for a few trades. Not chasing losses. Not overcomplicating something that was already working.
Those were things I struggled with A LOT during my first year of trading.
I’ve now been green every single month for the past 8 months, and I intend to keep it that way.
