Trading Like You’ve Got a Pair: Why Playing It Safe is for Pussies

 

Alright, let’s get real. Today, I managed to hold myself back from making some dumb-ass impulsive trades. Only took one trade. Now, was that the best move? Honestly, fuck no, because I missed out on some huge market moves. But hey, it's better than diving dick-first into impulsive shit that could’ve wrecked me. Impulsive trading? That shit’s like chasing pussy—it feels good for a moment, but in the long run, it’ll leave you broke and fucked up. So for now, this is the only way I’m keeping myself from blowing my account with stupid, impulsive decisions.

Let’s talk about that one trade. Yeah, it was a win. But of course, there’s always a fucking “but.” I didn’t hold on long enough. Story of my fucking life. Could I have known the market would keep going up or down? Hell no. That’s the shitty reality of trading—you never know where it’s gonna go next. But fuck, this trade made me feel so uncomfortable, especially when I was right near my Take Profit. I let it run a little longer, and then I bailed like a pussy, closing my short position.

Here’s the thing though—I didn’t hold on because I was greedy. Nah, it was pure discomfort that kept me in the trade. My balls were in a vice, and I stayed in just to see how far I could push it. And that’s exactly what I’m going to keep doing: making myself uncomfortable as fuck, holding onto trades longer when they’re moving in my favor. Because here’s the truth—I’d rather close at break-even than run away with some pussy-ass, tiny profit just because I’m scared to let it ride.

As Eminem once said, "Success is my only motherfucking option, failure’s not."

That’s where my head’s at. I’m pushing past the fear and letting shit run, even if it makes me feel like I’m about to shit myself.

So remember, don’t be a pussy. It’s better to close at break-even than let fear dictate your moves. Below is the breakdown of my trades. Keep fucking trading, keep pushing through the discomfort, and stop acting like a scared little bitch.
