Trading is a game of compounding
You’re gonna keep trying to force a big 5 figure day and you have 0 consistent 3-4 figure days under your belt
I used to do the exact same shit because I was brainwashed by social media and the big gains I kept seeing on here
When you get that first small payout, it’s just a snowball effect
My first ever payout was $2,500. The next was $8,000. The third was $12,500
I didn’t go chasing the 5 figure payout off the bat, I took it slow and focused on taking good trades
2 years later, I’m at $140,000 for the year and we’re less than 6 months into the year
