Task: Trade exclusively on a paper trading (demo) account. Follow your trading plan religiously.
Demand:
Minimum 5 trades per day.
Journal every single trade immediately after it closes.

Identify one major mistake you made each day and write down how you will correct it tomorrow.
Consequence of Failure: You'll prove you can't even make fake money, let alone real money.

Consequence of Failure: You'll keep making the same mistakes, forever stuck in a cycle of mediocrity.
Day 30: The Final Reckoning – Your "Graduation" (All Day)
Task: Engage in a full day of paper trading, adhering strictly to your refined trading plan.

Consequence of Failure: You've proven you're not cut out for this. Go back to your miserable life, because trading will only make it worse.
The Harsh Reality After 30 Days
You've completed 30 days of this brutal regimen. What does that mean? Probably nothing. You're still lazy, stupid, and unmotivated. But you've been exposed to the bare minimum required to start thinking about trading.
If you haven't given up, if you haven't cried, if you haven't found a million excuses to quit, then maybe, just maybe, there's a sliver of hope for you. But don't mistake knowledge for skill. You've just finished kindergarten in a university-level course.
Now, go back to Day 1. Repeat the entire 30-day cycle. Then do it again. And again. Until you can consistently make money on a demo account for at least three consecutive months. Only then, maybe, consider putting in a tiny, insignificant amount of real money that you are 100% prepared to lose. Because you probably will.
You're a loser until you prove otherwise. The market doesn't care about your feelings, your laziness, or your excuses. It only cares about discipline and execution. Get to work. Or don't. It makes no difference to anyone but you.
