😭 Why 99% of Traders Will Always Fail

Larkers, we need to talk about something that's been grinding our gears more than a rusty old bike - the so-called "trading gurus" flooding your social media feeds.

You know who we're talking about: the guys with neck tattoos driving rented Lambos, promising you can turn $100 into a million overnight. 🤢 

But let’s be real – trusting these influencers is a surefire way to join the 99% of traders who always fail.

The Guru Mirage 🏝️✨

First off, why are we so fascinated by these influencer traders? It's like a moth to a flame, except the flame is a rented Lambo and the moth is your trading account.

The reality is, these influencers often make more money selling you a dream than actually trading. If someone’s primary income is from courses, signal services, or affiliate marketing, you gotta ask yourself: why aren't they living off their trading profits?

The 2024 Reality Check 📅🔍

If 2024 has taught us anything, it's that the trading and prop firm world is full of smoke and mirrors. We've seen prop firms rise and fall like tech stocks in a bubble.

Influencers promising the world often disappear faster than you can say "margin call" when their predictions go south. Loyalty and transparency are questionable 99% of the time.

And we’re tired of it.

The Real Dangers ⚠️💣

Listen, 99% of traders listen to these gurus, and 99% of traders fail. The most common pitfalls are:

• False Expectations: They paint a picture of trading that's all sunshine and rainbows. In reality, trading is a grind, and losses are part of the journey.

• Overleveraging: To replicate their "success," you might take on more risk than you can handle, leading to catastrophic losses.

• Dependence: Relying on someone else’s signals or strategies can stifle your growth as a trader. You become dependent on them instead of developing your own skills.

The Road to Self-Trust 🛤️🌟

So, how do you avoid falling into this trap? Here are three actionable steps you can take today:

1/ Understand The Lies ❌ 

The first step to fixing a problem is knowing you have one. Understand that social media is full of lies, so stop buying into them.

2/ Develop Your Own Roadmap 🛣️ 

Rather than outsourcing the hard work and trusting others, start trusting yourself. Experiment. Try new things. See what works and what doesn’t for you.

3/ Activate Monk Mode 🧘‍♂️ 

What’s the opposite of social media addiction? Monk mode. Getting offline and living a life of discipline. Of focus. Of obsession. It’s the only way to become a true professional.
