7) Remove Desperation Relying on trading profits will always delay the process - success avoids desperation. “You won’t make it as a trader if you’re trading out of desperation.” Once again, take as much pressure off of yourself as possible.

This table has 100+ years of trading experience. 90% of traders fail, but they don't know these secrets. 2025 will be your most profitable year, you just need to read this… Here are 9 lessons that will make you rich:🧵

1) Invest in Your Mindset Charlie says to extend your time horizon to profitability. Don’t try to come up quickly, because you’ll go down twice as fast. “I wouldn’t define yourself as a trader by the calendar year anyway.” Be in it for the long term.

2) You vs You “It’s not you against the market really, it’s you against yourself” The market will always do what it’s always done, and the only thing you can change is you. Maintain a level head at all times - don’t lose confidence but also don’t be overconfident.

3) Reduce Pressure You’re constantly enduring pressure and emotions in this game, and the goal is not to add to it. Setting goals is great, but giving yourself deadlines to meet will add more external pressure into your trading. “The more you can detach yourself”

4) Shift Your Focus “You don’t need to be right that often.” Charlie explains that retail traders tend to worry more about winning, rather than focusing on overall profitability. You can still be profitable with a low win rate… “I don’t want to be right, I want the market to tell me where it wants to go.” - Paul Scott

5) Trade Your Edge You don’t need to know where price is going everyday, and you have to accept uncertainty. Focus on trading your edge, and control what you can control - refinement. “You’re in the wrong game if you want certainty.”

6) Find Your Comfort Zone Ambitious traders constantly chase bigger goals - the goal post is always moving, But Charlie emphasizes the importance of finding and staying within your risk comfort zone. Exceeding it shifts focus to risk rather than trading, reducing consistency.

8) The Ability to Step Away One of the most overlooked skills in trading: not trading. Overtrading leads to nothing positive: - Impulsiveness - Emotional exhaustion - Blown accounts - Burnout As Paul said, the markets will be there when you get back.

9) You Have to Love It If you don’t love trading, it’s going to be hard to come back to the charts after a bad day. “You gotta enjoy it like a hobby or a sport.” If you’re passionate about trading, and you’re truly obsessed, nothing can stop you from becoming profitable.
