Trading isn’t hard because of the charts or indicators or figuring out setups and strategies because all of that stuff, you can learn.
What's hard is:
- Taking a loss and not revenge trading.
- Seeing green and not getting greedy.
- Sticking to a plan when every part of your brain is screaming to do the opposite.
- Journaling your trades when it feels like a spotlight on your worst decisions.
- Sitting out of the market because there’s no clean setup, even when you really want to take a trade.
Most people don’t make it because they underestimate the psychological war this game becomes over time.
You need discipline, emotional control and a system you can repeat without guessing. You need to learn how to:
- Close the trade when you're wrong.
- Don't take a trade when there's nothing to do.
- Survive long enough to actually learn from your tracked data. (Journal)
Profitable trading is boring. Like really boring. You just keep repeating the same setups, over and over and over and over.. you get the point.
The market doesn’t owe you anything, but it definitely will reward you if you're consistent.
