The Hard Truth Most Traders Refuse to Accept That Makes Trading Hard to Survive
Let’s be brutally honest.
Most traders don’t lose because they’re “unlucky.”
They lose because they refuse to do what actually works.
They cling to broken strategies. They avoid structure.
And worst of all…
They treat trading like a hobby — not like war.
If you’re doing this one thing, you’re already dead.
You just haven’t hit zero yet.
⚠️ The #1 Mistake That Destroys Traders
It’s not indicators.
It’s not position sizing.
It’s not psychology.
It’s inconsistency.
No system. No rules. No self-respect.
You’re “kinda” following a plan… until the market shifts.
You’re “sorta” journaling… until you blow a trade.
You’re “watching flow”… but still buying breakouts on FOMO.
Inconsistency is a silent killer.
It doesn’t blow you up in a day.
It bleeds you out — trade by trade, mistake by mistake — until you burn out, quit, or go broke.
🔪 The Consequences Are Real
Here’s how inconsistency shows up:
| Behavior | Outcome |
|---|---|
| You chase alerts from 4 different gurus | No conviction, overtrading |
| You skip journaling “because it was just a scalp” | No data, no growth |
| You follow rules… until the trade feels bad | Reinforce bad habits |
| You size up randomly | Blowouts. Regret. Restart. |
The market has no mercy for the undisciplined.
You either become a machine — or you get eaten by one.
