My biggest trading breakthrough wasn’t a new setup. It was fixing myself.
I struggled with an unhealthy habit of trading for a profit target instead of trading what was actually on the chart. Greed got the best of me. Being obsessed to force a PnL became my biggest downfall and destroyed my risk management.
Once I stopped focusing on my PnL, profits became more consistent. I focused on taking profits where I planned to and followed my risk (as any trader should). I wasn’t trying to be right anymore, just trying to trade well.
If price kept going without me, I had to let it go. Discipline meant sticking to my plan even when it felt uncomfortable. I had to accept that I can’t catch the entire move of the market every day, but that consistently catching a piece of the pie is more than enough.
I burned myself in a toxic loop trying to hit max payout as fast as possible, but it ended with me burning the account instead. When I stopped rushing the process, max payouts came without me even noticing. Multiple times this last month, I didn’t even realize that a few days after my payout, my account was already eligible for another max payout. Focus on building healthy habits.
Most traders don’t even realize that the biggest obstacle to their success isn’t the market, it’s themselves.
Trade the plan. Ignore the PnL.
