Had a good trading week and it made me think about something

Had a strong week recently... nothing life-changing, but genuinely satisfying. Enough that I felt this weird sense of... that's it. Nothing else needed. Just calm. What really made me think was that my first instinct wasn't to document it, package it, or build something around it. You know what I mean?

Which made me think: if the people selling courses were consistently having weeks like this... would the courses still exist? Or does the urge to monetize an audience only show up when the trading alone isn't enough? Not accusing anyone. Maybe some people genuinely love teaching. Maybe I'm wired differently. But I keep coming back to it.

Curious if others have thought about this.

  1. You're forced to over-leverage. Over-leverage means one bad trade wipes you out (You should be protected from yourself)
  2. Trading is not a vehicle to escape being poor. It is capital management. By definition, you need capital first! And capital comes from providing value to society. A skill. A service. A business.

Long story short: You haven't figured out how to make $10,000? You won't probably figure out trading either. Don't trade.

"Like new" Price: $40-45k, good?

What do you guys think about the color combination? And the watch in general? I have already made up my mind, just wanted to ask for more opinions. Technically, the blue dial, blue strap looks better but also way more 'expensive'

Like seriously, this business is extremely tough. Especially if you have no money to invest, which is most people that think trading will make them rich.

But isn't it easier to just have a job? Start an ecom store and sell products? (You name it)

But (in my opinion) trading should almost be the last business you start. It's not even a business by itself, I would say. It's something rich/wealthy people do to preserve their money and fight inflation. And even those mostly just invest in something boring like SP500 or stocks. Not flipping accounts.

What you guys think? Are we all wrong trying to make trading somehow work?
