💡 If You Can’t Control Yourself, Don’t Blame the Market
"The market is neutral — your emotions decide the outcome."
📖 The Story of Tunde — The Blame Game Trader
Tunde started trading forex in 2022 with high hopes and big dreams. 💰 He believed the market was his ticket to financial freedom. But after a few months, his account was down 60%. Every time he lost, he blamed “market manipulation,” “fake breakouts,” or even “the brokers.”
One day, during a particularly bad EUR/USD trade, Tunde over-leveraged and ignored his stop-loss. ❌ The trade hit his account like a sledgehammer, wiping out weeks of profit. He stormed away from his desk shouting, “This market is rigged!”
But the truth? 📊 The market didn’t target him. The market didn’t even know he existed. What failed was his discipline.
📌 The Real Lesson — It’s Not the Market, It’s You
The market is like the ocean 🌊 — calm one moment, stormy the next. It has no feelings, no memory, no agenda. If you can’t control your impulses, you’ll drown in every wave.
📝 Rule #1 — The Market Is Always Neutral
Every price move is just supply and demand. Stop assigning emotions to candlesticks. 📉📈
📝 Rule #2 — Blame Keeps You Broke
When you blame the market, you give away your power to change. Take 100% responsibility for every trade — win or lose.
📝 Rule #3 — Control > Prediction
You can’t control where EUR/USD will be tomorrow, but you can control your position size, stop-loss, and mindset. 🎯
