Thoughts... There is a form of freedom in trading that exists nowhere else. No boss, no client, no gatekeeper.....just you, the market, and the sum of your decisions. Every gain is yours to claim, every loss yours to absorb. There is no safety net and no one to blame. The market does not flatter or negotiate; it reflects your judgment with brutal precision. It offers no comfort, no excuses, and no one to share the blame. For most, that truth is too sharp to bear. For others, it is the reason they show up every day. In trading, you are both the architect of your fortune and the witness to your ruin, and that is the purest freedom there is.
