Eight (8) years I have been in this market, learning, unlearning and relearning. Eight good years of experiences trading Crypto, Stocks and Forex. I have seen the cycle move from bearish to bullish and from bullish to bearish. Yet, the market stays the same. There is nothing that will ever happen now that has never been before. Market shift, price pattern, liquidity inducement, money transfer , increasing price volume and detracting price volume. Every market tools and price variables stays the same. Reading of the tape is just as the same, other than technology has made it more favorable.

I have moved from $500 to $15,000. I have seen an increase in my PNL. I have also seen the $15,000 increase blown down to $50. I have blown account on several occasions. I learned from the mistakes and I increased in knowledge. Yet market stays the same.
I have met traders of different levels, in the likes of Tee fx, Abi forex, DE chess King, Jeffrey Benson, Dapo willis and many more That I have come across, maybe during Forex seminars. All these guys posses different unigue qualities and exceptional skills deeply rooted in the market. Yet, No one can predict exactly what will actually happen in the market tomorrow or even by today noon.
Nothing has changed! Stocks, Metals,Crypto and Currencies; they all keep appreciating and depreciating with same pattern and same moves, yet we see the market consolidate within a tight range, traders find chaos. No one can tell where price will breakout from until it does.
While, we keep studying everyday on traders' psychology to improve our performances. Yet, fear and greed Index still has not changed. After exhaustive efforts in research and preparation, you may still struggle to outperform the market, leading to a sobering question: "Are we merely gambling in the end?".
