I reached milestones in trading that promised arrival, yet only brought a greater sense of liability.
I felt a creeping awareness that continuing to trade as I was would lead to burnout at best, or to blow-up at worst.
I stood in this room—a room you may now stand in yourself—hunting in the dark for a door.
I sensed that this door, once opened, could lead to a new way of being—one that did not feel like sacrifice and strain. One that instead felt like growth and expansion.
In the far corner of this room lay a key.
But all my eyes could see was blackness.
Mentors explained how they had found the key—detailing the precise steps they took to reach it.
But the lengths of their strides differed from mine. And I marched into walls.
Authors of books defined exactly where the door stood, and how to place the key in its lock.
But the lengths of their reach differed from mine. And I missed the lock time and again.
It was not until a guide arrived that I was able to find my way.
This guide did not explain. This guide did not define.
This guide asked me to take my own hand, and to feel behind my own head for the knotted cloth bundled there.
To pinch between my fingers one of the fabric tails, and gently pull, loosening the blindfold that had covered my eyes.
To see, as the blindfold fell to the floor, all that was previously unseen.
And, in that moment, to simply walk myself to the key, unlock the door, and step through it.

The biggest risk to preserving capital over the long term is not execution risk, erosion of edge, or counterparty risk …

And the biggest reward of a successful trading career is not monetary …
The biggest reward is a deeper understanding of oneself.
