Trading is Freedom!

---

​What motivates you to be a trader? For me, it has always been freedom. Trading allows you to be financially free, i.e., both time freedom and money.

Ever since I was a kid, being free and living on my own terms has been vital to me. I wouldn't say I liked school very much. The concept of sitting in a classroom for hours listening to somebody didn't impress me.

I was thrilled when I finished my schooling. I thought going to the university would allow me to be a much freer person. However, nothing really changed there. When I started to work to make a living, I still wanted to be free.

I didn't want to have a boss or anybody who ordered me to do something. I did everything I could to become a free, self-determined person. Everything.

Even before becoming a trader, I made many sacrifices not to have a boss in my life. I even gave up a great job despite a great reluctance from my friends and family. I did that because it also had some unfree conditions which I didn't want.

Looking back, taking that decision was crucial to me. There is always power behind taking an actual decision, and that is exactly what I needed to become a trader and succeed.

I believe that there is a strong link between this energy and the power behind that decision and the success I have achieved so far. It doesn't mean I achieved instant success. It took me more than seven years to become a profitable trader.

The journey was challenging. I had to be strong, consistent, persistent, and face many failures to be where I'm today. That's the price freedom requires, and I'm so proud that I could pull it off despite many setbacks.

Freedom is not for everyone. Most people do not want freedom. They may say it, but they don't mean it. If you look at their decisions, what they want is security. There's nothing wrong with being secure, but one can never achieve freedom by doing that.
Freedom isn’t everyone’s cup of team. When you have a boss, you have a clear direction on what you have to do for the day. You will have a team to support your decision-making process.

But when you are your own boss, you have to make every decision by yourself. Doing this is hard for most people, and this is precisely the case with trading.

When you pursue trading as a career, nobody will tell you what you have to do. There's no organization, system, or structure that tells you what exactly you must do to be successful.

Therefore, trading is challenging for most people. Trading is about freedom. Trading is freedom. It's a fact that trading can become very tough, especially when you are learning to master the art of analyzing the markets.

The possibility of failure is very much there. I failed numerous times in my life as a trader.

It was tough because I didn't make any money in those seven years. If anything, I lost money and even had to borrow money to fund my trading journey.

I don't recommend you to do this. Never trade with borrowed money. Always trade with the money you afford to lose. Back to my story, I paid all the borrowed money back in little time as my trading started to take off.

In the 21st century, trading is one of the possibilities to achieve freedom. It's not the only way, but the odds are better, and there is hardly anything at stake other than your time when you are in the process of mastering the art.

However, what's crucial here is your determination to become a successful trader. Success in trading has a lot to do with discipline. You will have to be rigid and severe with yourself. It requires immense sacrifice to achieve freedom, and that's one of the most challenging things to do.

When working under someone, the push to finish work and be better at what you do comes from the outside. There will always be a boss to push and motivate you to achieve results.

But when you're a trader, the push, guidance, and motivation must come from the inside. For instance, you found a solid trading opportunity while scanning the markets, and you want to take a trade. But you remember losing trade before by trading a similar kind of setup. What would you do?

There's no one to guide you every time you take a trade. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with the setup. But by doing something all alone, you will learn things faster and better.   

Achieving freedom is not easy. Being a successful trader is not easy. But it is doable, and I am the live example. Finally, all the sacrifices and hard work are 100% worth it. Living life on your own terms gives you the satisfaction and fulfillment that nothing in this world can.
​
So, before you want it, think about it. Set realistic expectations and know all the conditions it requires to become successful. These are my thoughts about trading and freedom. I hope this helps you to decide. All the best!
