The path to success in trading is shaped not only by technical analysis and market knowledge but also by psychological resilience. Recovering after significant losses is a crucial test that every trader faces. So, how can we achieve this?
Most traders make mistakes: they focus only on their profits and ignore their losses. However, the true value of keeping a trading journal lies exactly here. Recording and analyzing every trade, every decision, and even emotional reactions form the foundation of improvement. Examining unsuccessful trades, identifying mistakes that should not be repeated—this is not just about numbers.
In this journey, having a clear goal and strong community support play a critical role. A trader working alone can easily become discouraged. However, being part of a community with similar goals and shared challenges accelerates overcoming difficulties. Share your experiences, learn from others’ stories—trading is not just a way to make money, but a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Mental resilience is really the hardest part; technical charts and such are actually easier.

Mental resilience is really a weakness; stop talking about metrics.

Losing 500,000 finally made me understand the value of trading logs—an expensive lesson.

Writing trading logs at 3 a.m. are all newbies; those who understand, understand.

Hey, wait a minute. About what you said regarding mental resilience, I think most people simply can't stick to the habit of keeping a trading journal... It's easy to say but hard to do, brother.
