The only way to win is to lose everything.
You won't realize true potential until you feel pain.
You won't sustain success without recreating this feeling.
Continuously take bigger risks to put your back against the wall.
Win or lose, you will die knowing you gave your all.
Lock yourself in a room.
Master liquidity.
Backtest daily.
Trade your setup.
Study like a scientist.
Repeat until profitable.
You can only leave to go to the gym.
Do this and you could be profitable by summer.
Don't focus on making $100 a day.
Focus on monthly targets.
Trading is too unpredictable in the short term.
If you give yourself daily targets then you are going to force bad trades and lose.
The chart addiction usually starts after the entry.
Before the entry you feel prepared. You have the level, the setup, the stop, the idea.
Then you enter and suddenly every candle feels personal.
You refresh. Zoom in. Zoom out. Check the 1m. Check the 5m. Start negotiating with a trade you already agreed to take.
That is where a decent trade turns into emotional labor.
The fix is boring, which is why traders avoid it.
Ask yourself: what is the worst outcome now?
If the answer is -1R, accept it.
If the answer is breakeven, accept it.
If the answer is getting stopped in profit, accept it.
Once the worst case is known, the chart loses its leverage over you.
That is the part people miss.
You are not waiting for certainty. You are waiting for your next management decision.
Until then, leave it alone.
