Trading Death By A Thousand Cuts
Most traders don't lose everything in one dramatic moment. They lose it slowly. Small loss. Small loss. Small win. More losses. What I call death by a thousand cuts.

Most traders don't lose everything in one dramatic moment.
They lose it slowly.
Small loss.
Small loss.
Small win.
More losses.
What I call death by a thousand cuts.
And after a few years of this, something worse than the money loss starts happening.
Confidence collapse.
Because now you're no longer sure whether the problem is the strategy, the mentor, the market, or you.
So you switch approaches again.
And every new approach arrives with fresh hope.
Until the same thing happens again.
Most traders are not trapped in one bad trade.
They're trapped in a cycle of incoherence.
