Sometimes it feels like the biggest harm in the market doesn't come from price drops or lack of experience, but from confident men loudly claiming they make 1,000% profit every month from a $50 investment… and pretending it's real.
These stories not only create anxiety for those who haven’t yet reached such “success,” but they also distort the entire perception of how the market actually works.
In reality, there’s no such thing as a trader without losing trades. No strategy guarantees daily profits. And if someone claims otherwise, chances are — they're just selling hot air. Because anyone seriously working with the market knows: success isn’t about hype or loud stories. It’s about analysis, patience, and staying calm when things go off-script. No trader is immune to losses, but skilled traders know what to do when drawdowns happen.
It’s especially hard for beginners. You want to prove you’re not worse than others, that you can win too. And that desire to look successful is often what blocks real learning.
So here’s my advice: don’t try to prove anything to anyone. Your job is to study the market, feel how it breathes — where it reacts, and where it doesn’t. Make your first steps — even if small, even if some of them lose money — because they’ll give you the knowledge you need to profit later on, when you’re ready to work with bigger amounts.
