@tori.trades: "I've been trading just as long, why am I not making $100,000 trades?" .. These are the kind of thoughts that used to haunt me when I first started trading. Which led me to holding on to trades too long because I desperately wanted it to work out. Well, it didn’t. The loss was devastating and the negative self-talk was BRUTAL. If only I hadn't compared myself, I'd have realized I'm on my own unique path. Your journey is yours alone, with your own struggles and successes. Celebrate small wins, consistency, and personal bests. Don't let comparison steal your joy.
