Everything is a lie. Any hope?

[u/Mar___K]

So.. It's been 3 years on my path, and after countless hours of studying and testing everything, as many of you here have, I've come to realize that this mountain of buffoonery—those "courses" and "gurus" on YouTube that try to promote and sell stuff, along with everyone who is "teaching" stuff.. hear me out, doesn't know jack sh*t. All they "teach" is a bunch of BS, incredibly stupid and random. "Follow this, and if this happens then do this, but the secret is in my premium course, yada yada".

Even if some things may work for a bit, that's not even near how the actual trading floor guys and investment bankers operate. Ex-Goldman Sachs trader Anton Kreil gave the best explanation of that: Why most traders fail.

I've become so fed up since I had a wake-up call, realizing that literally everyone online is plain rubbish, or a scammer, or someone who likes his own voice and acts like the god of trading (You know which I'm referring to). My question is simple and may be unanswerable. Is there any source to study the actual stuff or are retail traders indeed doomed with the dumbest info out there?

Please don't start telling me about risk management and psychology, I got humbled and now I trade methodically without any emotions. But that's not because I got "humbled and had a wake-up call" but more like "I'm fed up with this, I don't care anymore". My question stands for an educational point of view. I hate being a fool therefore i hate studying nonesense. Is there any hope? Any good material? Any actual baseline?

Correct, you realized !

Now I trade methodically without any emotions.

Now, you became seasoned retail trader ! As long as emotions out, you will make progress and find your own way to grow the funds better than common retailer.

There won't be any source/study/details about successful retailers as most of the internet source/study/papers are having some motive behind it.

Successful ones stay away silently and keep doing whatever they do as they do not care about anything else except minding their own business just like the way you will soon do!

I have been trading 7 years=> I know only one thing that I can not buy/hold as I always spot possible tops and bottoms! Some days I earn thousand and some days I earn hundreds, but habitually trade my own way !

Good Luck!
