Successful traders don't make it off their first run-up. I firmly believe one must go through sacrifices in order to achieve their goals/be driven enough to go "all-in."
If trading was that easy with 0 drawdown, then everyone would pivot to this.
Being locked in for 12-14H under high anxiety/pressure is not fit for the weak.
One must be humbled greatly first (or a few times -- personal experience) before they can truly acknowledge and monitor their growth to be consistently profitable/successful IMO.
