The Trader’s Journey: Sink, Survive, or Dominate? by EdgeDotForex on TradingView.com
Every Trading Journey starts with dreams of success, but only those who embrace the grind make it to the top.
Year 1:
90% of traders QUIT. Why?
Because they thought they’d outsmart the market faster than they could outsmart their toaster. They blow accounts faster than you can say “margin call” and rage-quit with dreams crushed and keyboards smashed.
Year 3:
5% almost make it… and then give up. These folks have seen just enough wins to think, “I’ve got this,” and then BOOM—the market hits them with a Mike Tyson uppercut. Their accounts? Alive. Their will to trade? Deceased. They leave the game wondering, “What if I had stayed?” Spoiler: We’ll never know.
Year 5+:
The Final 5%. The survivors. The legends. The ones who stuck around long enough to figure out that it’s NOT about beating the market; it’s about not beating yourself. These traders don’t get emotional over a loss. They shrug, sip their coffee, and calmly say, “Cool, let’s run it back tomorrow.” They’ve got the mindset of monks, the patience of saints, and the wallets of dragons.
So, where are you on this timeline? Year 1? Year 3? Or are you gunning for that sweet, sweet 5% status?
Trading isn’t about yachts and mansions (at least not at first). It’s about surviving the grind, outlasting your doubts, and embracing the chaos. And remember: The market doesn’t care about your feelings. But it will reward those who stay in the game long enough to learn how to play it right.
Are you in… or are you out?
