Amateurs focus on rewards. Professionals focus on risk.
Chasing profits blinds many traders to danger. Pros understand that CAPITAL PRESERVATION is the foundation of long-term success. If you manage your downside, the upside takes care of itself.
Example:
Having 100 USDT - Day 1
Making sure the next day you have 100 USDT left + 1 USDT < X (profit regardless of size). This is something you research. What you are building is discipline and consistency.
