Curious: What is your description of success in trading? Doesn't matter if it is Futures, currencies, crypto or equities.
When will you have arrived?

One can be a very consistently profitable and even very rich trader, but also a very miserable person. That isn't success. Success to me is about growth, expansion, comebacks, inner-awareness, thoughtless execution, being in the flow & loving every second of it
I would be a bullshitter if I said that this is my constant experience. It isn't. The market really tests everyone. Really creates moments of doubt. Has it changed or is this just an unfavorable market regime causing a drawdown? Am I off balance? Am I honest with myself?
We all need to remember that this is a competitive sport. One doesn't have Federer's record by chilling & being constant. We have to evolve despite our laziness. Grow despite our comfort. When I'm completely bored with trading, I will go do something else. I'm not bored yet.
