2023 just officially became my best trading year so far in my 7 year trading journey. But: the year is young. I’ve had a good stretch, and am fully prepared to have losses come in at some point. No free lunch in trading!

After a win streak, I always reduce my position size on the next few trades. It's a small tweak I've made years ago that's really helped me. That feeling of invincibility can cause you to make mistakes, and give back profits you shouldn't.

New traders don't yet understand this. Being a profitable trader means profitable on average, over time. Being a profitable trader does not mean profitable every day, week, or month. This is an important thing to understand!

It took me 2.5 years to become a breakeven - slightly profitable trader. That was at a time in my life when I had plenty of free time to dedicate an hour+ each day to learning/backtesting. This stuff takes time. Don't put pressure on yourself to be great at it right away.

Sadly, most traders will quit once they realize that 2-3% per month is quite good, and far more robust than trying to flip accounts. Think about it... What is 2-3% per month on a 1mill+ account?

If you're seriously trying to become a professional trader, I hope you have removed all of the "lambo lifestyle" stuff off of your feed. Highly successful traders don't spend their time flexing on people. Sketchy salesmen do. Don't fall into that trap.

In trading, you're not paid to place trades. You're paid to manage risk and play out your edge over time. Traders lose a lot of money forcing trades when there are no setups to be taken.

Fake traders get upset when you ask them for a track record, and engage in petty drama on social media. Real traders drop their broker statements/live logins no question, and have no need to engage in nonsense. New trader tip: No track record = don't give them your time/money.

With a 1M account, 1% per month is very good money. Pros realize this, and that’s how they stay in the game - through ups and downs - over the years. Previously this was unattainable to the average trader. Props have changed the game for profitable traders lacking capital.

90% of my profits come from 10% of my trades. Trailing stops produce low win rates, but the occasional massive winner. This, I believe, is where the best money in markets is made. Some would call holding on to a winner like this greedy, but I’d call it patience!

Did you know: You can lose 10 trades in a row, even with a very profitable strategy? It’s all in the position sizing. Even with a 60% win rate, 10 losses in a row WILL happen at some point.

If you are really struggling to pay bills right now, stop trading immediately. If you are not profitable yet, go back to a demo account. Trading is very difficult, and to make money you need a large account and years of experience. Anyone telling you otherwise is full of it.
