Observations on traders who burn out quickly and disappear from the market 1. Confusing speed with development They operate at maximum capacity, keep themselves within strict limits, and constantly push for results. From the outside, it looks like discipline, but inside — haste and fear of not getting their share. 2. Looking for new things externally, ignoring what's inside Instead of analyzing their own mistakes and mindset, they endlessly change strategies, indicators, and approaches, hoping that the next tool will fix everything for them. 3. Giving up on their development too early They find a "comfortable" trading style and try to force the market into its framework. But the market doesn't have to adapt. Without flexibility, even a working model will eventually stop working. 4. Operating in an "all or nothing" mode Periods of perfect control are replaced by breakdowns. No balance, no stability. They don't know how to be effective without constant pressure on themselves. 5. Cannot tolerate uncertainty They need a clear answer here and now. Any uncertainty causes anxiety, so decisions are made hastily — just to avoid remaining in doubt and questions. 6. Clinging to past beliefs When the market changes and new data contradict their views, they are more likely to argue with reality than to revise their understanding of what is happening. 7. Overestimating effort and underestimating the process They believe that more actions = better results. As a result, they complicate trading, overload themselves, and get lost in unnecessary activity instead of simplifying and systematizing. If progress has stalled — maybe it's not the strategy, but the time to step outside of habitual thinking.

They operate at maximum capacity, keep themselves within strict limits, and constantly push for results. From the outside, it looks like discipline, but inside — haste and fear of not getting their share.
2. Looking for new things externally, ignoring what's inside
Instead of analyzing their own mistakes and mindset, they endlessly change strategies, indicators, and approaches, hoping that the next tool will fix everything for them.
3. Giving up on their development too early
They find a "comfortable" trading style and try to force the market into its framework. But the market doesn't have to adapt. Without flexibility, even a working model will eventually stop working.
4. Operating in an "all or nothing" mode
Periods of perfect control are replaced by breakdowns. No balance, no stability. They don't know how to be effective without constant pressure on themselves.
5. Cannot tolerate uncertainty
They need a clear answer here and now. Any uncertainty causes anxiety, so decisions are made hastily — just to avoid remaining in doubt and questions.
