The difference between long-term profitable vs struggling trader is that_

Both make profit but profitable trader knows when to stay on the sidelines and wait for better setup

But Amateur trader keeps on trading in choppy market & gives away the profits

Most traders struggle doing nothing.
Lack of patience/discipline kills them.

Just learning about the patterns and reading chart is 20%

50% is the mindset game

How to manage Risk/capital is 30%

Market is not here to make you thr money but take away your money
Market maker will do the best they can to hunt and destroy you 👊
