Two traders compared: one rushes in, blows his account repeatedly over four years with brief wins that don't stick. The other spends time building fundamentals and discipline first, then climbs much higher. The difference is patience versus chasing quick profits.
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 mini successes, but those mini 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 or excitement or success until maybe year 1, even year 2 or year 3. And then this trader, obviously their 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.
