If you want to be a profitable trader increase your surface area of luck.
You can work very hard but there are also chance encounters which can give you the breakthrough you need at right time. The more connections you build in the trading community more your surface area of luck will increase.
Someone else has already found a solution to the problem you are facing and if you know more people you will find those solutions.
After repeatedly giving up open profits in initial years and getting frustrated, I found a solution while having lunch with another trader. When I vented my frustration he said he had same problem and he just sells in to strength and keeps a runner. Bingo problem solved.
The trading issues you are facing are not unique and there are solutions available with someone, find that person through networking.
Study the concept of surface area of luck.

@Fabio46920315 I started out as poor as one could imagine. You can do it. Believe in yourself. You are capable of much more than you even dream of. That I can gaurentee. But it takes time and lots of of trial and error. Never give up.
The way I achieved my success and my dreams was. I started with a vision and then spent my life moving a tiny bit in that direction without ever squandering one single day.
One of the most important things you can do as a stock trader is to be patient with yourself and allow yourself time to grow. Not all flowers bloom at the same time, and not every journey unfolds on the same schedule. It may take you longer than someone else to develop the skills, discipline, and understanding needed to succeed, but that doesn't mean you're any less capable.
Avoid measuring your progress against others. Everyone learns at a different pace and reaches important milestones at different points in life. Trading is a personal journey, and your timeline is your own.
I know this firsthand because I was a very slow starter. It took me six years before I even became profitable. There were many times when I could have concluded that I simply didn't have what it takes. But persistence, patience, and a commitment to continual improvement made all the difference. Most of all, I knew that those who succeeded were just men like me, and if they did it, then so could I.
So give yourself space and grace. Give yourself time. Stay committed to the process and focus on getting a little better each day.
Above all, be patient with yourself—the big rewards come to those who refuse to quit before their time arrives. If I could do it, so can you.

Your mother brought you into this world, raised you with love and sacrifice… just so you could discover leverage and get liquidated. And she still loves you. Be grateful pleb.
Happy Mother’s Day.
I can't remember one single day in the past 40 years that I didn't move at least a tiny bit closer in the direction of my dream.
What did you do today to get you closer to your dream?
Anyone with a functioning brain can trade stocks successfully—so then, why do few succeed on a big level?
Because few are willing to admit one simple truth: you suck!
Your head is full—sucky opinions, sucky assumptions, and “logic” that feels right but produces the wrong results.
As long as your cup is full, there’s no room for anything that actually works.
Empty it!!!
Strip away the ego. Discard everything you think you know.
Then find someone who’s already done it—at a high level—and shut up long enough to learn.
And finally, the hardest part: commit.
Commit to a strategy. Commit to your coach. Commit to the process. Commit to the belief that you can do it.
No dabbling. No second-guessing. No halfway effort.
Because success in this game doesn’t come from intelligence—it comes from discipline, humility, and coachability.
And most people fail because they lack all three.
You don't know shit! If you did, you would already be worth tens of millions of dollars. But I'm here to tell you that you CAN do it. Because I did. Anyone who tells you can't, never did it themselves. That's the final peace of the puzzle. Stop listening to losers and self proclaimed gurus. If they are so smart and they know how to teach you. Why haven't they done it for themselves. Do you really think someone who hasn't made 100 million dollars can teach you how to do it? If you do, then, that's why you'll never achieve it.
