Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Kardec Trader ("The BRUTAL Reason Most Traders FAIL🚨", uploaded Dec 30, 2025). Speaker emphasizes two core lessons: (1) trading is very difficult and traders should explicitly accept that challenge up front, and (2) the primary objective should be mastering the trading process rather than tracking dollar gains; profit will follow improved process.
Trading is not easy. And I think knowing right here that, hey, this thing that I'm about to do is very hard. It's going to be extremely difficult. And accepting what you're walking into kind of makes it easy. Why? Because as you go through this journey and it gets harder and harder and harder, you start knowing, well, I know what I signed up for. I know this is going to be hard. I know what I was going to accept. Number two thing that we want to accept, our goal in this whole process is not making money. We do not want to track our progress here. Off the dollar sign. We chase the process. As we get better and better at the process and we get better at trad, this part comes on its own.
