Most people get this wrong. Completely wrong.
They'll tell you: "Make 100x." "Get rich quick." "Never work again."
That's not a goal. That's a fantasy. And fantasies don't survive the first red week.
Let me tell you what actually matters.
---
The Wrong Goals: 
❌ "I want to turn $100 into $1 million."
❌ "I want to never lose a trade."
❌ "I want to quit my job next month."
These sound nice. They also set you up for failure. Because when you inevitably lose, you feel like you failed. You weren't failing—you just had impossible expectations.

The Right Goals:
1. Preservation first, profits second.
Your #1 job isn't to make money. It's to not lose it. Sounds boring. But boring accounts survive. Exciting accounts blow up.
2. Consistency over home runs.
A trader who makes 2% every week for a year is up 180%. The trader chasing 100x is usually down 100%. Slow and steady isn't sexy. It's just profitable.
3. Process over outcome.
Did you follow your rules? Did you set your stop? Did you risk only 1%? If yes, you won—even if the trade lost. The win is in the process. The money follows.
4. Survival through the bad days.
The market will humble you. Multiple times. Your goal is to still have an account when the good days return.
5. Mastery of one thing.
Stop chasing every strategy. Scalping, swing trading, futures, spot—pick ONE. Master it. Then add another. Jack of all trades = master of none = consistently broke.

The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything for Me:
I stopped asking "how much can I make today?"
I started asking:
· "Did I protect my capital?"
· "Did I follow my plan?"
· "Did I learn something?"
The money followed. Slowly. Boringly. But it followed.

What Your Goal Should Actually Be:
To be a trader who:
· Survives the crashes
· Compounds consistently
· Sleeps at night
· Can do this for years, not months
· Doesn't let a red day ruin their week
If you achieve that, the money comes automatically.
What's YOUR goal right now? And be honest—is it realistic or are you still chasing the 100x dream?
