Maybe you're not actually a bad trader—just one with untapped potential waiting to break through.
Think about it: every losing trade teaches you something the winning ones never could. Risk management? Position sizing? Emotional discipline? Those skills don't develop overnight. They're forged through experience, mistakes, and that gut-wrenching moment when you realize the market doesn't care about your feelings.
The difference between struggling and succeeding often isn't talent. It's patience, consistent learning, and refusing to let a red portfolio define your entire trading journey.

Loss trades actually teach you things that winning trades can't, really.

Losses are like tuition fees; only when you can't use them are you truly losing.

nah this is cope. real ones don't need the "untapped potential" speech—they're already reading mempool flows and timing their entries before the toxic flow hits. losing trades? that's just poor arbitrage spread recognition. the market doesn't care about your feelings cuz you're not even close to the real alpha game yet.

Losing money is just paying tuition fees; the problem is that most people still haven't gained insight after paying the tuition.

The biggest fear of loss is giving up on oneself. In fact, every liquidation is like doing an MBA assignment in trading.
