Wake Up or Get Wiped Out (Why You Panic And Why It’s Your Fault)
This one is going to sting.
Let me start by saying this:
This one is going to sting.
If you’re here for soft truths or feel-good motivation, leave now.
I’m not here to coddle.
I’m here to make sure you stop trading like a clown and start thinking like a killer.
Like Dan Peña says,
“If it doesn’t hurt your feelings, I haven’t done my job.”
So take this personally , because it is.
You Panic Because You’re Unprepared
Every week I see the same thing.
New traders enter a position.
Price dips 5 percent.
They melt down.
They start flooding the Discord with “What’s happening?”
They DM me saying “Should I sell???”
They stare at the chart like it personally betrayed them.
Newsflash:
The market doesn’t care about your emotions.
You panic because you never had a plan.
You never knew why you entered in the first place.
Truth #1: You’re Oversized
Let’s get brutally honest.
You went too heavy.
You dumped your savings, your rent, or your “last chance” stack into a coin you barely researched.
Now every red candle feels like a punch in the throat.
Why?
Because you're not trading price anymore , you're trading fear.
You tied your entire emotional state to the outcome of one position.
And now you're sweating bullets because you're in too deep to think clearly.
That’s not trading. That’s gambling with a prayer.
Professionals never risk more than they can handle.
They don’t just survive pullbacks , they thrive in them, because they’re positioned correctly.
Truth #2: You Don’t Read Charts
Let’s say it loud for the people in the back:
If you’re trading and you can’t read a chart, you are the liquidity.
You don’t know where support is.
You don’t know when structure is broken.
You just look at red percentages and assume it’s over.
So what do you do?
You scroll Twitter.
You jump on Telegram.
You start reading what random clowns are posting , and base your decisions on that.
You’re trading other people’s fear and hype.
Not structure. Not logic. Not conviction.
That’s how most people get wrecked , not because they were wrong, but because they never had a system.
Your Panic Isn’t the Problem. Your Process Is.
The market is ruthless.
It doesn’t care if you’re anxious.
It doesn’t pause to give you time to think.
It moves based on liquidity, momentum, and structure.
You want to survive?
You want to win?
You need to act like someone who deserves to stay in this game.
That means:
Stop entering positions without knowing why
Stop risking more than you can afford to lose
Stop relying on other people to tell you what to do
Until you fix your process, no amount of motivation will save you.
