Traders make a profit because they succeed. Profit is a flower that blooms after a long and successful growth process. Profits rarely occur in the process of growth, and of course they will not happen before the process of growth. In other words, as they grow up, progressive traders are usually still losing money.
In fact, loss is like planting the seeds of growth. You see, for a period of time, the external success of traders, or profitable transactions, will not be shown, although great progress has been taking place quietly. This is because the initial growth happened in secret. Gradually, almost secretly, it gathers inside us, just like an unborn baby who is nine months pregnant, and is invisible from the outside. Unfortunately, many traders never realize that growth actually happens in their painful losses. They don't realize that every failure actually pushes them one step closer to the ultimate success. And this short-sightedness makes many people quit in the middle of progress. It is wrong to judge one's internal progress level by external profit and loss.
Seeing how many times you lose in the same way is a better criterion to evaluate your progress. Just because the scarlet letter appears in your trading approach doesn't mean that you haven't made progress. As long as it is handled properly, the scarlet letter will eventually turn into a black trickle, and before you understand it, you will feel a little hope of mastering it completely. But never forget that mastery is not innate, but acquired. It never appears immediately, it needs an incubation period, during which it can gather scale and strength. People who understand this are more likely to stick to it. Besides, we feel it necessary to remind you again that in order to win, you must persist.
