Your biggest enemy isn’t the market. It’s not the brokers. It’s not even bad analysis.
It’s UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.
1989: Expected to be profitable in months!!
(It took 2-3 years).
1992: A big 7 figure win, followed by 2 years looking for another big win, which never came.
1995: Finally consistent
2025: Teaching others the realistic timeline.
The psychological trap:
Believing success should come faster than it does.
You have unrealistic expectations if you:
• Expect consistent profits in year one
• Think successful traders win 70%+ of trades
• Aim for 10%+ monthly returns
• Get discouraged after one bad week
Realistic trading expectations for beginners:
? Set 6-month profitability goals, not daily ones
? Celebrate 55% win rate.
? Focus on process, not profits
? Measure progress in years, not weeks.
My 3-step program helps traders develop realistic milestones and avoid the discouragement that kills careers.
The journey is longer than you think. But shorter than you fear.
How long have you been trading? Where are you in your journey?
