Most trader's are Entering the Battlefield With Plastic Guns.
They told you “just learn price action.”
“Buy this one course and you’ll print money.”
They sold you the dream —
But they didn’t show you the graveyard of blown accounts.
Let me tell you something they won’t:
> Most people are not trading.
They’re gambling with technical language.
They talk about risk management with ₦50,000 in their Binance,
Yet they’re risking ₦45,000 on one setup.
Then go to church and pray for divine entries.
But here's what they won’t post:
They’re trading with investor funds.
Or with the profits from a logistics business.
Or even affiliate commissions from trading bots and exchange commissions
So when the trade goes red?
They still sleep with AC and jollof in their fridge.
But you?
You're trading with:
Your last savings.
Your kid’s school fees.
Your hustle capital.
Money you borrowed with shame.
So when you lose, you don’t just lose money —
You lose peace, dignity, and sometimes even identity.
Nobody warns you about the panic attacks.
The way you stare at your screen begging a candle to flip green.
The suicidal thoughts some nights.
The obsession with “revenge trades.”
And still…
You go back the next morning.
Because you saw one guy on Instagram make $4,000 in 3 minutes
And now you think it’s just a matter of more discipline.
But listen, discipline won’t save you if you’re under pressure.
> Trading is not about being smart.
It’s about being stable.
And without a buffer income, you’ll trade emotionally —
Which is the fastest way to go broke in this game.
Here’s the truth:
The real traders aren’t loud.
They’re not flexing on Reels.
They’re in the shadows building systems that outlive hype.
> They don’t just trade.
They own communities.
They sell tools.
They manage capital.
They have income streams that make them calm — even when the charts look like hell.
So if you want to win in this game:
❌ Don’t start with capital.
✅ Start with structure.
❌ Don’t copy results.
✅ Copy the system behind the results.
Because in the end,
> The charts don’t care about your rent.
The market doesn’t owe you mercy.
And no guru can trade your trauma away.
Protect your mind.
Build income buffers.
And trade from a place of peace — not pressure.
I’m not just typing this for likes.
I’ve been there.
I blew up.
I broke down.
But I built again — with wisdom.
Let’s stop the lies.
Let’s tell the truth.
Let’s save the next generation of traders from this illusion!
