Beliefs

I used to believe winning the battle each day was the key to being profitable with trading. Turns out you winning the long term war is far more important.

I used to believe it was complicated.
It isn't.

When I first started, long before joining BTC, I believed that building your own strategy was this mystical state only achievable by a small group of ‘experts’… a while later I discovered this belief was due to what I was ‘told’ or more likely ‘sold’ by others who wanted to keep the profitable trading to a small group, who could then sell their strategies without telling us they reached their selections etc… so they made you (me) dependent on them.
I’m not ashamed to say that I lost on various subscriptions to these types over a couple of years, but we live and learn!
Obviously that changed when I joined BTC.
I also use to belief that I had to spend every minute of the day researching and then watching every game. Again totally wrong, I now use one set & forget and two in-play strats - even the in-play I don’t have to watch really unless I want too.
