This is what happens when you trade like a "follower"
And it leads too...
Let me paint a picture for you real quick...
You're in a trading Discord, and the "guru" calls out a trade…
…You jump in.
Sometimes it works, but often it doesn't.
What's really happening is much worse than just losing money.
You're training yourself to be dependent on somebody else rather then thinking for yourself.
When you copy trades blindly, three deadly things happen…
You hold too long, hoping the guru will tell you when to exit
You miss optimal entries because you're waiting for confirmation
You get crushed by time decay as options deteriorate while you wait
This isn't trading, it's gambling with extra steps.
And the psychological damage runs deep, each time you follow someone else's trade, you're telling your brain… "I can't do this on my own."
Which subconsciously kills your confidence and your decision making skills.
Eventually, you find yourself completely unable to pull the trigger without someone else's approval.
The guru doesn't care about this damage…
…In fact, they benefit from it.
The more dependent you become, the longer you'll pay for their service… And the longer you pay for their service, the more money they make.
It's a vicious cycle that's destroying traders every day.
Even when you do catch a winning trade, you're not learning anything valuable.
You're just reinforcing the belief that success comes from following others, not from developing your own skills.
That's why, over the last 13 months, I've been working with about 50 traders to break this dependency cycle.
Instead of building subscribers, im building traders from the ground up…Their potential isn’t capped by some miami influencer that needs their money.
I am teaching traders to understand WHY they're entering a trade, not just WHAT trade to take.
The results speak for themselves, traders who were once glued to Discord alerts are now confidently making their own decisions, building their own strategies, and most importantly - protecting their own capital.
This isn't about becoming a market genius overnight.
It's about developing the core skills that turn struggling traders into confident, self-reliant market participants.
It's about breaking the dependency that keeps most traders trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment.
On August 21st, I'm revealing something that will permanently break the follower cycle.
A completely different approach to trading education.
One that develops real skill instead of reinforcing dependency.
For traders who are tired of following and ready to lead their own trading journey.
Keep an eye out.
