Love this article gives me perspective of where I am.
Im nearly 50 with a full time job and learning to trade in my spare time, aiming to make a better life for me and my kids. At it about 2 years now, made quite a bit of money while not knowing what I was doing , listening to "YouTube infulencers" pumping their bags and jumping on every narrative that was thrown my way. Emotionally trading and round tripped it completely. With two years experience I am starting to develop a process and aiming for steady consistent gains over time with risk and invalidation defined. Treating every coin as a scam has helped me with this. I really love learning perps trading and have learned a lot from you and this coarse. Thank you
I am also trading part time out of working hours - aiming to one day trade as a living. Will focus on starting a playbook first - 3 or 4 solid strategies, back tested. Then will try each with little money (0.5% to 1% of account) and journal these trades for review and refine. Then hopefully scale up on the winners.

Awesome read.
Awesome read XO.
I do think the emotions don't matter in stages 1 and 2, as the trading size tends to be small.
I believe the emotions take over as the trading size increases, especially in Stages 3 and 4.
Let's find that edge and put the hard work and discipline 💪🏼
