    The thing is, in trading, fast is slow and slow is fast. People mainly continue to either skip steps or risk too much per trade which in hindsight does more damage psychologically. Yeah you might have risked 10% of your account and made 200% in a month but when probability kicks in, those gains will be gone plus more in some cases. There’s no harm in taking your time, enjoy the journey, struggles and small wins

    I’ve only been trading for 7 months. I became profitable within 4 months thn I switched over to prop firm. I just recently locked in 20% growth on a 100k account in 1 month with a 90/10 profit split. I dedicated all of the energy and resources to trading that I could spare so it is possible to become successful immediately if you make calculated decisions. It’s really up to you how fast and far you go. The reason most ppl get into trading is because you can grow quicker than in a traditional business. And the reason most ppl aren’t successful is because the give up too soon. Don’t box yourself in, do what you say you are gonna do, by any means regardless of how many “losses” you take. It is possible

      I’m 7 months in, with exactly the opposite! Still unsure on my strategy, how did you manage to find one that fit so well, so early?
      Also, how did you frame your time - I’m only looking at live price, S+R Wychoff, so I’m waiting for some days at a time and it’s super stressful. I haven’t tackled a challenge yet, as I don’t have a way to secure that 10%. Any tips as I’ve got months of charts in, with serious time in journals but not any answers 😮‍💨😪

      @@bigrodbrowny9184 I’m a scalper and I use supply and demand with a bit of s&r and trend lines for extra confluence. There’s no short answer for how I got where I am in the timeframe. There’s also no way to not sound like every talking head guru on yt with a short answer. But the truth is I really did lean heavy into psychology and trying to understand what sort of things impact my decision making. Once I minimized all distractions and narrowed down my strategy to one specific style of trading (I only trade 1 instrument and I look for the same setup everyday) it’s much easier to pinpoint the scenarios that mess with your psychology. Also Risk management is the number one thing that messes with psychology so focus on knowing exactly how much you are risking with every trade, I guarantee you’ll become profitable.
