From Misstep to Mastery

When I began my trading career, I was full of enthusiasm but also an easy target for the promises of so-called experts. I spent hours watching YouTube videos claiming that success was just a few indicators away. The charts looked impressive, the explanations sounded logical, and the results seemed undeniable. But reality hit hard – those "magic indicators" didn’t bring the promised success.

This realization was painful but also pivotal. I quickly learned that trading isn’t a cookbook where you follow recipes. It’s a craft requiring deep understanding and skill. Instead of chasing shortcuts, I immersed myself in studying market structures. I focused on the logic of market movements, analyzing patterns, and understanding the underlying mechanisms. I soon realized that much of what’s touted online is misleading noise, and staying away from it was essential for my growth.

It was during this phase that I discovered Robin and his approach. Robin’s methodology was nothing short of a revelation. Unlike the superficial strategies I had encountered before, his teaching focused on the essentials: developing independent thinking, analyzing markets with clarity, and relying on logic over emotion. His approach is not just effective; it’s transformative. I firmly believe Robin should establish a school to share his wisdom with as many aspiring traders as possible.

The Challenge – A Key to Mastery
One of the cornerstones of Robin’s approach is the challenges he creates for his students. These challenges are more than just exercises – they are opportunities to train your eye for what truly matters. Trading is about distinguishing the critical signals from the noise, making clear decisions, and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

What I appreciate most about these challenges is how they integrate different strategies to demonstrate just how "simple" trading can be. Of course, "simple" is relative. It doesn’t mean effortless; it means avoiding unnecessary complications. With the right mindset and clear processes, trading can be structured and effective.

However, there is one thing Robin cannot teach – and that is discipline and self-control. These qualities must come from within. Without discipline, even the best strategies will fail. Trading is a constant battle against your emotions, and without mastering this, long-term success is impossible.

My Take on the Challenge
The challenges Robin has developed are an essential part of the learning process. They build a deep understanding of market structures, sharpen analytical skills, and teach how to apply strategies effectively. But the real strength of these challenges lies in how they foster a sense of responsibility. Only those willing to prioritize discipline and self-control can achieve lasting success in trading.

I am deeply grateful for the insights I’ve gained through Robin and his challenges. They’ve taught me that trading isn’t magic; it’s hard work and a continuous journey of learning. And this is precisely what the trading world needs: clarity, logic, and a commitment to growth.

Update 29 March 2025
Dear friends,

I’d like to share some of my trading experience from this month with you—not to show off, but to inspire and remind you what’s possible when we stay disciplined, focused, and committed to the process.

I traded for 14 days this month. Out of those, 5 were losing days—and I can honestly say those losses came from careless mistakes, not because the strategy doesn’t work. For example, today I had a 6K winning trade. I entered another trade afterward, fully in line with the rules. But then I went out to eat, got distracted, and ended up losing 1K. That loss was 100% avoidable.

I’m not sharing this to pretend I’m perfect—far from it. I’m sharing it to show that our strategy works, but only if we apply it with discipline and focus. My win rate over these 14 days was around 75%, and I know for a fact that without those silly mistakes, I’d be closer to 90%.

I had told myself I wouldn’t share financial numbers publicly. But I owe it to this group to share my journey. I hope this doesn’t spark envy—because truly, any one of us can do this. The only reason I’m sharing this is to motivate you to study hard and stay consistent. What Robin teaches us has real structure behind it. It’s not complicated. It’s clear. And it works.

Right now, I’m trading with 4 Topstep accounts and 6 Apex accounts. I’ve traded 6 days on Apex this month, and only 1 of those was a red day—today. Over the 14 days total, I’ve managed to trade approximately $235,000 in volume. I’ve now passed the evaluation on 4 Apex accounts and 1 Topstep account. Starting next month, I’ll be trading with 15 accounts.

I’m keeping it super simple: HTF POI + FIB Entry. That’s it. No overcomplication. No shortcuts. Just consistent execution.

I really hope this gives some of you a little boost of motivation. We're all capable of success here—as long as we stay disciplined and never stop learning.

Success is not luck—it’s built on patience, focus, and trust in the process.
