TheProcessTrader

Private Banker to Independent Trader. I still trade alongside a full-time job. My goal isn’t to get rich quick. My goal is consistency. This account documents the real journey: • Wins • Losses • Mistakes • Lessons No signals. No fake lifestyle. Just real process. Process. Discipline. Execution.

@sheetalbytheway 😂 Balance matters. Sometimes the best trading partner is someone who reminds you there’s a life outside the charts.

@PJtrades_NQ Very true. You don’t get paid for calling the exact top. You get paid for executing your plan.

1. Take what the market gives you 2. Say thank you 3. Leave Greed has never once paid a bill.

@SRxTrades Very true. Never move your stop to fit your position size. Reduce the position size to fit the correct stop.

Your stop loss should NOT be based on an arbitrary percentage Your stop loss MUST be the invalidation of your trade setup... Make sure your stop loss makes sense first, then worry about sizing or taking the entry.

@Remzztrades Very true. The best traders don’t force size. They earn the right to increase it.

April and May my position sizing was roughly $50-70k on day trades and six figures+ on swing trades. Around mid June I sized down across the board to around $50k. In July I’m back to keeping it small, under $25k. As soon as conditions improve, the size and intensity go right back up.

@EliteOptions2 Couldn’t agree more. Every broken rule delays the trader you’re trying to become.

Every day you break your rules is another day between you and • $10k months • buying that new car • moving into a new apartment So stop breaking them and commit to the life you want.

@prrobbins 100% true. Judge the execution, not the result.

True or False Breaking your rules on a winning trade is still a mistake.

@Glorythmic Learn from others. Trust your own data. Trade your own edge.

Opinion nobody asked for: I think one of the main reasons so many beginner traders fail is because they are trying to trade like someone else. They copy the entries. The targets. The risk. The trade frequency. But they never stop to ask whether that style fits their personality. A low win rate strategy can be profitable, but not if every loss makes you abandon it. A high win rate strategy can work, but not if you constantly cut winners early. The strategy needs an edge. But it also needs to fit the person executing it. Learn from successful traders. Then refine what you learn around your own patience, risk tolerance, schedule, and psychology. The goal is not to become a copy of the trader you admire. It is to build a strategy you can actually execute as yourself.

@sheetalbytheway Very true. Every instrument has its own edge and its own challenges. Understanding them is part of the job.

@Mr1CT Mostly alone. Trading is an individual game. I enjoy exchanging ideas, but I never outsource my decisions.

Do you have a trading partner or you trade alone ??

@AlphaMind101 Very true. Experience doesn’t remove uncertainty. It teaches you how to handle it.

The job of trading never gets any easier , you just get better at it. But if you want easy, then trading probably isn’t for you,

@lynk0x Most traders quit in stage 3. The ones who keep learning eventually reach stage 5.

The 5 stages of becoming a trader: 1. I’m going to be so rich. 2. I’ve made a huge mistake. 3. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. 4. I’ve come too far to quit now. 5. Wait… this actually works.

@RealJGBanks Very true. Success rarely comes from one breakthrough. It comes from thousands of better decisions over time.

Stock market gave me Freedom BUT 5 years until I had a green year 8 years until I hit my first Million THATS 8 years of failing over and over AGAIN Hating myself and losing people Now I live my dream life I never stopped until it came true You can’t stop either

@Onlyonecurrency Very true. Progress starts the moment you stop blaming circumstances and start improving your response.

Stop asking: "Why is this happening to me?" Start asking: "What is this trying to teach me?" "What's the next right move?" "How can I be 1% better today?" Better questions create better decisions. Better decisions create a better life. Gm traders 📈✨️

@SJosephBurns Couldn’t agree more. Your strategy makes money. Your psychology determines whether you keep it.

Everyone has the ability to make money in stocks, but not everyone has the right psychology or risk tolerance.

@LethalityTrader Very true. Trading is a skill. Building assets is how you turn that skill into lasting wealth.

A hater tried to make fun of me out of pure ignorance because I own a physical business instead of living 100% off trading. My company does roofing, construction, landscaping, irrigation, plumbing, and much more… I have 4 crews, with 5 members on each truck. The value of my business in tools alone is more cash than your favorite trader has probably ever seen in his entire life. Stop believing that trading is the ultimate business. It isn’t. Trading is a leverage tool. The profits you make should be invested into the things that will truly make you wealthy. Don’t fall for the fantasy that many people sell. At the end of the day, many of them make their money from affiliate commissions and by keeping you chasing the next piece of content that promises to make you profitable.

@SirPickle_ Couldn’t agree more. Patience isn’t doing nothing. It’s protecting your edge.

Would you rather have sat on your hands all week and NOT touched a button? or have taken a losing trade every day this week because you forced it in low probability conditions? On one hand it may feel like you did nothing all week. On the other it may feel like you put in work. "I sat down to trade today I must take a trade" This way of thinking is toxic. As a trader you're paid to wait. Not trade. Im still flat on the week. Why? Because price action has been atrocious. Is it annoying there hasn't been any setups? Sure is. But it beats being down -3R on the week no? Remember, you are always in control. Just wait for clarity, it'll come.

@Jacobtradesz Nice one. Love it. Couldn’t agree more. Every trade deserves a fresh decision. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Day 34 of reaching 1 million in payouts before 2027 (Currently at 616k) 1 trade 1 win Never let your previous trade dictate the next one

@DodgysDD Very true. Sometimes the highest quality decision is realizing your edge isn’t present today.

Remember Most of your guys problems is not my strategy It’s you Trying to force trades in choppy conditions First step should be 1. Is there a CLEAR DOL (not conflicting) Nothing else Everything comes after

@I_Am_The_ICT Respect the mentor. Trust your own data.

Remember, they can say all manner of things to persuade you from learning from me. They lie, they make up nonsense, they literally fabricate entire fiction about me... all the while, hoping that you ignore the copious amount of evidence that I am lightyears ahead of everything else and everyone else. Come test yourself... I am waiting. ;)

@TraderDivergent Very true. Complexity creates hesitation. Simplicity creates consistency.

Every extra decision is another opportunity to second-guess yourself. Simple systems don't just save time. They save mental energy.
