My trading journey began back in 2020, but I wasn't truly a "trader" until 18 months in. Back then, I made all the mistakes one might expect from a beginner: I focused too much on the money, I traded with emotion, and I would aimlessly jump from strategy to strategy. Worst of all, I tried to copy others' styles and trades. I didn't realize it at the time, but I wasn't trading—I was gambling.
I had some big wins, but even bigger losses. I wasn't investing in myself. I was merely glomming onto others and looking for a turnkey solution to make money as fast as possible, but the market quickly humbled me. Months of blown accounts left me frustrated and demoralized, and I came to the sobering realization that I needed to recalibrate if I was ever to succeed.
I took a big step back and began to uncover the flaws in my approach. I needed to go back to the drawing board and create a strong foundation for long-term success. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, I had to let go of my desire for short-term gratification and commit to the long game.
I decided to switch to paper trading, and devoted an entire year to learning everything I could about trading like a professional. I read trading books, joined trading groups, and enrolled in multiple courses. It was a long road, but I slowly began to find my footing.
I came to realize that I needed to drown out the noise and create a system that worked for me. I had to learn to trust in myself and pave my own path, instead of trying to mimic other traders; This realization, along with gaining the ability to look inward and deconstruct my flaws, is what finally led to consistency in my trading.
Despite achieving my goals, I was left frustrated by the learning process I underwent. I had taken multiple courses and was forced to sift to so much irrelevant information to uncover the golden nuggets and critical insights that I truly needed to grow.
I had to dodge marketers trying to sell one-size-fits-all strategies, alert groups that promised overnight success, and programmers selling "game-changing" indicators that would do all the work for me; All promises that were too good to be true.
Like many of you, I decided to pursue trading for one simple reason - the potential for financial freedom, yet I was taken aback by how many forces were trying to veer me off course and distract me from achieving my true goals. I realized that so many out there did not have my best interests at heart, and I learned just how difficult it is to find reliable and trustworthy information.
After being frustrated by my own learning experience, I felt a strong desire to help others navigate similar roadblocks and pitfalls during their own trading journeys. I know the mental anguish of wanting so badly to succeed at something, yet feeling like nothing is working. I know what it's like to want to give up.
I began sharing my journey and trade recaps on my socials, and found it incredibly fulfilling to answer questions and support those who reached out for advice. I felt like I was making a difference—even if it was a small one. This eventually inspired me to create The Lucid Trader Blueprint—a clear-cut, step-by-step resource that aims to set struggling traders on a trajectory for long-term success.
