Everyone wants to be a trader, but very few people are willing to put in the learning time upfront, push thru the emotional pain, and make the difficult changes in their personality/lifestyle to make it work. Did you really think making all this fast money was going to be easy?

Every single trader starts from the same foundation.

Little knowledge, ego, & the desire to make money.

The successful ones understand that to be profitable long term you have to increase your knowledge, decrease your ego, & increase your desire to learn about the markets.

There are no easy answers, cheat codes, or short cuts to trading success.

Everyday you must be willing to put yourself in harms way just to get the experience you need to become good enough to eventually thrive.

You only learn truly by trying, falling-off,
hurting yourself, getting-up, and going again.

No Pain, No Gain.

Trading is a business very much like any other business. Find a process that is consistent, repeatable & scaleable. Within that process, learn that not trading is a position. Learn to trade small & learn to increase risk. Give the market your time, not your money.

Ego = being right?

Decrease your ego = dismiss when you're wrong?


Or did you mean something else?

Think about your ego when you started your trading journey and how it has matured comparatively to now?

Yes, my interpretation is the one I gave above, and that's how my process has evolved.

I was wondering whether you had those labels in mind when you wrote your post, or your interpretation of ego was different?

A mistake means not following your rules. If you don't have rules, everything you do is a mistake.

Money is made by cutting losses short and letting profits run. It’s made not by being right most of the time, but by always thinking in terms of the reward-to-risk ratio throughout the trade.

Thinking like this requires screen time, experience, and study and the calculation is different for each trader.

The more you trade the more you realize that trading is a mental business. Most of the errors in our business are errors of emotion
