Find out more about me here: https://linktr.ee/keeleytan Earlier this week, a friend of mine showed me his "proven" strategy. When I asked to see his backtested results, he sent me an excel sheet with 20 trades. He told me it’s working great so far.  A few years ago, I was like him. I thought that trading in a live environment was the best way to learn. That mindset cost me over $10,000 and it nearly ended my trading career before it really began. When I first started trading, I was confident in myself. I deposited $5,000 into a live account. I have no backtesting results to fall back on. My first few trades were winners. I felt like a genius. Then reality hits. I lost 12 trades in a row. I had no idea if my "strategy" actually had an edge. I FOMO’d into trades, used excessive risk, a

The Brutal Truth About Why You Still Can't Manage Risk You know you should risk only 1% per trade. You understand the math behind proper position sizing. You've read all the books about risk management. Yet somehow, you still find yourself breaking these rules "just this once." I get it. I've been there. Even after blowing multiple accounts and losing over $10,000, I still struggled with risk management. Not because I didn't understand it, but because understanding isn't enough. Let me share something embarrassing. Last year, I was managing a $200,000 funded account. I had my risk management rules clearly written down. Never risk more than 1%. Never hold through high-impact news. Never average down on losing trades. Then one day, I saw what looked like the perfect setup. Everything aligned

Last week, a trader messaged me about his "profitable" strategy. He made $5,000 in one week, lost $3,000 the next, made $2,000 after that, then lost everything trying to recover his losses. His strategy wasn't the problem, his inconsistency was killing his results. I know exactly how this feels. Five years ago, I was the same trader. One month I'd make 20% returns, feeling like I'd finally cracked the code. The next month, I'd lose 30%, wondering what went wrong. This cycle continued until I lost over $10,000 and nearly quit trading altogether. If you're finding yourself on this emotional rollercoaster, stick with me. I share weekly insights about transforming your trading psychology in my newsletter. But first, let me show you what's really happening in your trading. The Hidden Pattern Mo

Find out more about me here: www.linktr.ee/keeleytan Last week, someone dropped me a DM to talk about his "profitable" strategy. He was excited about making $4,894 in a single trade. I asked him about his account size, he proudly told me he turned $1,000 into $4,894 by risking his entire account on one trade. His account got wiped the next week. This story isn't unique. I was like him. I lost over $10,000 in my early trading days, not because my analysis was wrong, but because I had no idea how to manage risk. The Illusion of Control The majority of traders are unaware of this fact. Your analysis may be flawless. You can submit perfect entries. If you don't understand risk management, you might still lose everything. Think about it. How many times have you entered a trade without knowing y

You already know the get-rich-quick mindset is killing your trading career. You read the books. You understand that consistent profits come from proper risk management and patience. Yet somehow, you still find yourself hoping for that one trade that will change everything. I understand that feeling. I spent 5 years trapped in this cycle. Let me share something embarrassing. I was previously managing a $200,000 funded account. My strategy was making a consistent 1-2% monthly. I got greedy. I saw a "perfect" setup and decided to risk 5% instead of my usual 1%. "Just this once. This setup is different.” That one decision wiped out my profits and I lost that account in a single trade. The Psychology Behind Our Self-Sabotage Here's what makes this mindset so dangerous. We can intellectually und

You know exactly what's wrong. You've read all the books. Watched countless YouTube videos. You understand that discipline is crucial for trading success. Yet here you are, breaking your rules again. I lost $15,000 and blew over 20 prop firm challenges before I finally faced the brutal truth: Understanding the importance of discipline isn't enough. You need a system to force yourself to be disciplined. The Expensive Lessons of "Just One More Time" Let me share something embarrassing. Last year, I was trading a $200,000 funded account. My rules were simple: 1% risk per trade, no trading during news, no moving stop losses. One day, I was up 3% for the week. NFP was approaching. My position was in profit. "Just this one time," I told myself, "I'll hold through the news." You can guess what ha

Here's what nobody tells you about trading discipline. It's not about motivation or willpower. You can't just "try harder" to be disciplined. If it were that simple, everyone would be profitable by now. Think about these scenarios. You see a setup forming but it's not quite perfect. You take the trade anyway because "close enough is good enough". Your stop loss is about to get hit, but you move it because you "feel" the market will reverse. You're down for the week and decide to risk 5% instead of your usual 1% to "recover losses". Sound familiar? These aren't strategy problems. These are discipline problems. Why Discipline Is Harder Than It Looks When you're backtesting, everything seems easy. You can fast forward. Drawdowns can be recovered easily. You don't feel the emotional impact of

Are you still watching YouTube videos of traders showing off their luxury cars and million dollar properties? They make it look so easy to profit from the market. A few clicks here and there. Add some magical indicators. Suddenly you're making thousands of dollars a day. I fell for it hard. I was like you. I wanted something that could get me rich quick. The dream of leaving my 9-5 job to travel the world. I don’t want to worry about money again. Trading seemed like the perfect solution. This costs me $10,000 and five years of my life. The Seductive Lie of Quick Riches You've definitely seen those Instagram posts. Screenshots showing $5,000 profit from one trade, sports cars in the background, and the classic laptop-by-the-beach setup. They tell you they've discovered a "secret strategy" t

Have you ever wondered why some trades feel different than others? You're following the same strategy, looking at the same patterns, but something just feels... off. Last week, I received a message from a trader who was convinced that his strategy wasn't working. He had back-tested it extensively with 300 data points, showing a 45% win rate with a 1:2 risk-reward ratio. Statistically, he should have been profitable. Yet after three months of live trading, his account was down 28%. What he and what most traders didn’t realize and never consider is that his problem wasn't his strategy. It was something far more dangerous. The Hidden Force Destroying Your Trading Account Think about your last losing trade. Be honest with yourself: Did you move your stop loss because you "felt" the market woul
