feel like all profitable traders go through the same canon events:
1. beginners luck: you have no idea wtf you're doing but somehow still make your first few online dollars (maybe less overcomplicating trades) -> this gets you hooked on trading
2. first big loss/roundtrip: you get overconfident while not knowing proper risk management so you fullport and blow your account
3. revenge: you add whatever little money you have left to "make it back" and instead zero yourself
4. education: you finally decide to learn TA and start mass consumption of various trading strategies
5. shiny object syndrome: bounce from one trading strategy to another every month because you came across some guru with a crazy pnl
6. despair: nothing works because you haven't given time to fully understand/backtest one specific model
>start to believe trading is a scam
>rinsing your entire bank account
>you're "-" close from just giving up
7. backtesting: after jumping strategies 100 times, you finally realize they all work, so you choose the one that makes the most sense and finally start collecting data via backtesting (win rate, risk, entries, etc)
8. breakeven: you win some, lose some, mostly breakeven but you're starting to understand how the markets truly work
9. self development/improvement: realization that trading goes beyond the charts and you start integrating discipline throughout your day (fitness, sleep, nutrition, etc)
10. profitable: after 2-3 years of getting railed by the markets, your pnl is finally green, youre the best version of yourself, and everything was worth it
only 1% of traders actually become full-time profitable traders
you know what i have to say to that?...
outwork the odds
trading is the hardest way to become rich quick; it'll all be worth it after the years of pain, sacrifice and dedication, never give up on your dreams
