It's Not the Market

The market is rigged. That is what I told myself every single day.

Every time I lost money, I blamed the market. I looked for

anyone to point the finger at. News manipulation. Big players. Bad luck.

I had an excuse for everything except my own choices. I was opening

trades like it was a game of whack-a-mole. But then I finally asked myself

one simple question. Why exactly did I enter this trade? Silence.

I had no plan. No risk control. No exit strategy. That is when

it finally hit me. I was not losing because of the market.
