People grow over time. Sometimes willingly. Sometimes unwillingly (market forces you to grow). As a trader/investor/entrepreneur, we all go through various growth lifecycles. Most people think that being a profitable trader is the end of the journey (which I thought so as well... ​But I was wrong. Being a profitable trader is not the end of the journey. A profitable trader develops himself as an edge where he manages his own emotions, knows the market well and is able to analyze the market from experience. ​ However,​​​​ a profitable trader can suffer emotionally from high-stress environment and always taking in a lot of information to anticipate the next step of the market. ​This leads to mistakes and potential losses because a profitable trader can become emotional and loses his edge. The next step after being a profitable trader is to "productize" yourself. Instead of intuition, a profitable trader would turn his "system" into rules (hence rule-based investing) A profitable trader would develop constraints / find specific market conditions where he is profitable, such that it reduces his thinking (hence repeatable edge) ​Until a profitable trader completely removes himself from analyzing the market every minute, he is not truly free, and his edge wouldn't last. ​​​​​​​​ ​ ​Once a profitable trader fully systemize his strategy, the next phase of growth begins and he also realizes he doesn't need to trade himself anymore - the system does it for him. ​​​​​​​ So here's the BOXING DAY discount to join Investing Accelerator, where you get an interest-free instalment over 12 months & 33% discount off the regular price: https://5mininvesting.thrivecart.com/boxing-day/ After you join, you can schedule a general Q&A session to ask questions about the program materials and how to apply the concepts you’re learning.
