Most people only see the profitable years…
but they don’t see the –$2K, –$12K, or the years of confusion, frustration, and self-doubt.
Here’s what real trading progress actually looked like for me:
• Year 1: - $2,800
• Year 2: - $9,600
• Year 3: - $14,250
• Year 4: +$5,800
• Year 5: +$75,600
• Year 6: +$287,300
This journey is not linear.
It’s messy. It’s painful.
And it takes YEARS of hard lessons before consistency shows up.
If you’re in your losing years right now, don’t quit.
Your breakthrough might be next year — if you stay disciplined, manage risk, and keep learning..
