When you can truly make a living from trading, that state is not excitement
but calmness. You are no longer in a hurry to prove anything, nor will you be led by the market. You know what you are doing, know when to take action, and when to wait. You no longer fantasize about "getting rich quickly", nor do you chase after "making a fortune in one trade"; instead, you are like an old farmer, sowing, waiting, and harvesting, everything comes in rhythm.
Stable profits do not mean that you can make money from a few trades, but rather that you have experienced market downturns, consecutive losses, and can still withstand pressure to continue executing your plan. You can see the slowly growing curve on your account, and you will no longer be swayed by the daily fluctuations. The real ability of those who can make a living from trading is not to make money, but to endure losses and continue trading with a calm mind.
Moreover, there is one very practical point: you must ensure that the profits in your account are not based on luck, but on a stable method. You are not relying on gambling, not on feelings, but on strategy, on rules to walk step by step. Therefore, you will feel very certain in your heart that no matter how the market fluctuates, you can survive.
Most importantly, you no longer fantasize about how much "freedom" trading will bring you. You are clear that this industry is actually very tough and lonely, but you have gotten used to it and are willing to continue down this path. You know this is not a shortcut, but a path you truly recognize.
When you no longer fantasize about trading, leaving only cognition and execution, this is the sign that you can make a living from it. $BTC
