🔷 Who is a Professional Trader?

Emotions.

They simply do not exist. You use your shoulders, you earn a lot, you lose everything. And so many times, day after day, year after year. The brain either gets used to it or goes crazy. You can understand a lot: that this is no longer possible, that you are in a psychiatric hospital with one foot, that other people's lives are suffering. Nothing works - the brain either switches or it doesn't. Work on the subconscious. If he was lucky and he switched - everything becomes even, external noise goes away, irritants subside, excitement goes away

When the excitement goes away, it starts to break you. This is exactly the same drug. Only at this moment do you realize that everything that happened before was for the sake of excitement. You didn't need money, you just wanted to win. Defeat yourself. When the excitement leaves, all the walls of meaning that filled your world and which led your sleepless nights collapse. What do you have left? Working with graphs, tables and statistics. Then data accumulation, compilation, averaging, cleaning and so on, ad infinitum

Practically nothing touches you, you already understand that all trading is just working with volumes and probability. You forget about the concepts of success and failure, everything revolves only around numbers. Your task is to improve the numbers, not to make money. Money is a by-product, not a purpose of trading. The goal is a scale. Scale from 1 to 100. It should be closer to a hundred. Do what you want, make thousands of deals, filter out unsuccessful ones, but aim for a hundred. You will count the money later

You turned off emotions, but they didn't go anywhere. They accumulate inside you. Nothing can disappear into nowhere - the first law of thermodynamics. If you don't get rid of them, they will eat you from the inside. Years later, you understand what this means: anxiety, panic, depression, insomnia, chronicle, etc. It is necessary to get rid of suppressed emotions, you will not understand this right away, but the body will certainly tell you about it. Cry, cry, sing - it's like the phlegm of your soul

You begin to relate to life in the same way, it is almost impossible to hurt you, but also to please you. You are not touched by ordinary things. You have fixed the bar of maximum adrenaline at which the brain turns off your emotions. It can only be interrupted by an even larger bar. Planck's constant. Okay, just kidding, we are still a couple of million years old to a constant, you can just drive 300 on the Autobahn. Well, you understand. This is the opposite, negative effect that will have to be reckoned with if you still want to be effective.
