Many traders fail because they set the wrong priorities. They chase tactics and tricks instead of first solidifying the fundamentals. The questions come quickly: Which timeframes? How long to hold? Where to enter, where to exit? But honestly – if the inner mindset is still shaky, all the techniques in the world won't help. It's like trying to build a house without a foundation. The correct order is crucial: first mental stability, then the strategy, then execution. Those who underestimate this will lose sooner or later.

No matter how many tricks you have, if the foundation is unstable, it's all useless. Many people have fallen into this trap.

If your mindset isn't right, no matter how many candlestick charts you analyze, it's all pointless. Truly.

Exactly right, so many people are just eager for quick gains, constantly asking about timeframe and entry points, never considering whether their mindset is stable. I used to be like that too; seeing others make money, I wanted to follow suit, but ended up losing everything. Now I understand that a strategy without psychological preparation is useless.

This is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard... How many people are still unaware of their mindset issues and are still messing with their metrics.

ngl this hits different when you've actually watched traders blow up their accounts. mindset first, everything else after — that's literally the only formula that works

Mindset is really a barrier; so many people fall here without even realizing it.

To be honest, this is a common problem among most new retail investors. They keep looking for some magic timeframe, but before their mindset even stabilizes, they go all-in and then get taught a lesson by the market.

yo this hits different... pattern analysis suggests most traders literally bypassing the foundational layer and wondering why everything crumbles. sus behavior detected honestly. not financial advice but the data speaks - mentality > strategy > execution, yet everyone speedruns straight to the tricks part lmao
