Before I became a profitable trader I didn’t understand why people would gate-keep their strategies or charge people, but now that I am profitable, I can understand. People work months and years (took me 8 years) refining, losing trades, losing money, etc. and after all of the heartaches, long nights, years spent, and sacrifices, someone ask you “can you show me your strategy”. They expect you to just hand it over and you’re a POS if you don’t or if you charge right? lol Now, just because I understand doesn’t mean that I take the same approach. I’ve helped so many people and showed them my strategy step by step FOR FREE but the thing is they still failed….

I figured there was no way someone could fail if I gave them the sauce but yet, I was wrong! Like I learned during my journey will always hold true. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR EMOTIONS…not so much your strategy. 💯

Hi everyone! So, after struggling with ICT concepts, I moved on to the GxT and TTrades models. I've been learning these models for around 8 months now, and things are pretty clear for me at this point. No guesswork, no random trades, etc.

However, I'm still struggling with some psychological issues. For example, I don't hold my trades. I move my trades to breakeven after just a few pips/ticks, and most of the time, the outcome is the same: price moves in my direction and hits the full TP, while I’ve already closed the trade at breakeven.

Can you guys please help me out with this phase of my trading ??? I'm feeling really depressed at this point because I know how to trade, but I'm still unable to trade properly because of my poor trading psychology.
