Even the best traders take Ls, plenty of which never make it onto your TL. Trading looks easy when someone posts $244 turning into $345k overnight, but do you know how fucking rare that is? You don't know what they lost before it, how many other positions went to zero or whether they actually sold. A screenshot can be real and still tell you very little about how someone is doing overall. One trade can change your life but chasing that specific outcome itself will make you burn through everything you have, I've seen it happen way too many times. Aim to win but do it in small steps rather than trying to port everything in to win big. Size small, take your initials, take more profits on the way up, and maybe let the rest ride. Most people won't tell you their trading strategy, but the best trading strategy is literally having patience. You see these big traders making a shit ton of money? They have one thing that 99% don't. Patience, that's literally fucking it.
