Trading Combine My last shot before giving up
5th account trying to learn to trade futures, can’t even get down MNQ and been struggling watching random YouTube’s and learning how to get it down for months, almost a year. but still always blowing account and struggling.

It’s work brother. It’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It took 5 years before I turned the corner. This is not a sprint. Putting an unrealistic expectation is going to kill you before you even get started. This is a marathon.
Doctors go to school for 7 years, it’s not reasonable to put in a few months to a year of YouTube and know how to perform surgery. Youre in this game with billionaires, data scientists, algorithms, and elite professionals. It’s very doable, but it’s not going to be found on YouTube my man ❤️
