The 4 Step Journey Every Trader Must Survive to Reach Profitability

Becoming a profitable short-term investor isn’t just luck — it’s an artistic journey 🌊✨

Which phase are you in?!!

Here are the 4 phases to paradise I navigated before consistency finally clicked…

Phase 1: Strenuous Learning

In this phase I really immersed myself in technical analysis with exhilaration! 🥰 Deep dive into candlestick patterns, timeframes, indicators, retracement strategies, and more. Start demo trading, backtesting, and exploring books on psychology and discipline as well.

- Find a few free YouTube mentors until you’re ready to invest in a course.

- I didn’t purchase a course until a year into my learning journey.

Phase 2: Refining

Once I grasped the basics, I began to ask myself: how does this relate to my trading style? ** Determine which currency pairs / stocks / cryptos to trade, the hours you prefer, the best market for you (FX, stocks, crypto), and how many trades you want to take daily or weekly.

- The goal here is to create a personal discipline plan and strategy — a customized one to two-page document tailored to your schedule.

Phase 3: Patience

In this phase, trading becomes a lifestyle that is no longer rushed but full of ease. Instead of hawking the charts as much, I finally began evolving to pro status, developing much more patience and discipline.

- You’ve tested your strategy thoroughly, knowing exactly what criteria needs to be met to enter a trade — only taking high probability setups.

Phase 4: Consistent Profitability

Now, we maintain and grow our accounts! Pursue funded challenges, stay disciplined, and master risk management, re-entry strategies, and proper stop-loss placement. Confidence comes from humble experiences that keep us grounded.

- The goal here is to access larger capital consistently, transitioning into full-time trading.
