The Reality of Trading Expectations
Successful trading requires a realistic understanding of profit and loss curves, which are rarely linear. Just like in sports, where athletes face challenges, traders must expect to encounter losses and setbacks along the way. The common misconception that trading can provide consistent daily profits mirrors the unrealistic aspirations often fostered by social media influencers. Embracing the journey, including its ups and downs, is essential for any trader's success and mental well-being.
