Two traders show why most fail: one chases quick profits and repeatedly blows their account, while the other spends years building skills before seeing gains in year two or three. The patient trader's foundation supports consistent growth that the hype-chaser never reaches.
If you've been trading for 2 years, you've been trading for 3 years, even if you've been trading for a year, how many people that have been watching have rushed into making money in 6 months? There's Trader 1. Both of them started in 2021 and this is Trader 2. Trader 1 rushes the process, goes back to zero, rushes the process, goes back to zero. What happens here? They blow their account and then they repeat the cycle. You go to 2025, they're still here. But in this window of 4 years, they've had many successes. But those many successes were not built on strong foundations. They don't have a strong base. Then Trader 2, who builds a strong base, doesn't get this phase of hype excitement or success until maybe year 1, even year 2 or year 3. And then this trader, obviously the path doesn't look like that, but the trajectory is a lot higher. Why? Because this person has spent such a long time in this like flat stage, and in this flat stage they've developed themselves.
