Key moments
• [02:28] "Even if you're a gold medalist, if a coach can get you to run quicker, you'd say yes. You need to be looking at trading at next levels and pushing boundaries." • [03:02] "No matter how long you've been a trader, ten months or ten years, you're still going to be doing the work—journaling, backtesting, and refining." • [04:53] "Having a growth mindset is the biggest thing." • [06:01] "Rotate your daily watchlist based on one thing—which market is trending." • [12:40] "Don't strategy hop. Stick with the strategy you've done all the work on, and improve it over time. Pivot and evolve, but don’t throw everything out." • [14:46] "Add little refinements only after at least six months’ live market experience. Improvements should be like a compliment to what you’re already doing, not a complete change." • [15:41] "Progress doesn’t come without failure and challenge, so don’t be afraid of changing or evolving your approach." • [25:59] "If you’re under financial pressure or unhealthy, don’t trade. Get your mind and environment right first." • [27:59] "Pick one session to trade and specialize; less is more. Reduce the assets you watch, reduce the indicators, and just focus." • [29:45] "Find a very simple system that works for you. Backtest it over hundreds of hours, but realize live market experience is irreplaceable." • [35:03] "Write down what you’re grateful for and what you’re unhappy about—if the negative column is bigger, forget about trading strategy for now. You have a mindset problem to solve first." • [32:14] "Mindset as a trader is an ongoing thing. Learn about yourself and your routines; get help if you need it, like from a trading psychologist."
