A trader explains why comfort matters more than profit. Trading multiple markets reduces anxiety and builds the confidence needed for consistent returns. The real benchmark isn't how much you make, it's how calm you stay.
Like, well, so really, it's not necessarily getting profitable as your benchmark for having made it as a trader. It's really when you've, you've gotten good enough that you can go to the markets every day and you know that you're okay, you can trade without that anxiety. That's when you know you've made it. And what's really cool is, and this over the last few years, it's like, just become more and more to the forefront. It's like, really, that shouldn't be your end goal. If you're wanting to trade with real money. That really needs to be a point you want to get to early on as possible, preferably to a certain degree.
