Remember the trader you were 6 months ago?
The P&L might not be where you hoped. But look at how much you've actually improved.
Most traders feel like they should be further along by now.
Whether that’s a green quarter or sticking another zero on your annual P&L.
And that’s called normal human behaviour, right?
There’s a reason Amazon Prime, Deliveroo, and Door Dash exist, we want things fast…
So naturally, trading progress is always going to feel slow.
But consider this…
THE TRADER YOU WERE 6 MONTHS AGO
Think about the trader you were 6 months ago. And look at how much you’ve improved.
Maybe the P&L isn’t quite there yet… but look at the stuff you do now you never used to.
You probably:
- Shut it down after a string of losses instead of revenge trading
- Skip the setup that doesn’t quite fit, even when it’s tempting
- Journal the trades you’d rather forget
- Know when you’re tilting before it wrecks the week
- Have a plan on Sunday for what you’re actually looking for
Your list will look different, of course, but six months ago, you were a different trader.
And none of that shows up on a P&L curve… yet.
I get it, the gap between where you are and where you want to be feels frustrating.
But sticking with it, not giving in to the urge to fast-track things with size or a strategy hop… will pay off in the end.
