3 Reasons You’re Not Profitable Yet (And How to Fix It)

In partnership with

Most traders fail not because they’re lazy or unmotivated—it’s because they’re focusing on the wrong things. They’re being fed outdated ideas, ineffective techniques, and strategies that never stood a chance of working.

If that sounds familiar, don’t worry. Here’s the truth: trading success isn’t as complicated as it seems. Let’s break down the three main reasons why most traders aren’t profitable—and what you can do to fix them.

1. You’re Learning the Wrong Stuff
It’s not your fault. The trading world is full of “gurus” pushing ideas like support and resistance zones, indicators, and other distractions. The problem? These methods don’t work.

Here’s the reality: the only thing that truly matters in trading is liquidity.
Markets don’t move because of RSI or Fibonacci lines—they move to take liquidity. Price targets stop losses, clears weak hands, and moves in the direction of liquidity.

If you’re not trading with liquidity in mind, you’re trading blind.

2. You Don’t Have Proven Trading Models
Most traders get stuck in a cycle of endless learning: more courses, more videos, more books. But none of it matters if you don’t have a proven trading model to apply what you’ve learned.

Think about it—how can you expect to succeed if you’re always jumping from one idea to another without a clear system?

Successful trading isn’t about knowing everything; it’s about having a repeatable process. A model that shows you exactly what to look for, how to enter, and how to manage your trades. Without it, even the best concepts won’t lead to consistent results.

3. Your Mindset Is Working Against You
This is where most traders fall apart.

Fear of losing, hesitation, revenge trading—it’s all a result of your mindset. And the standard advice? Journaling, meditation, and stoicism.

While these may help some people, they’re not enough to truly reprogram your subconscious mind. If you want lasting change, you need to go deeper.

You need to replace the negative beliefs holding you back with empowering ones. Affirmations like:

• I am confident in my trading decisions.

• I trust my process and focus on the long term.

• I accept losses as part of my journey to profitability.

With consistent practice, these statements can help you eliminate fear, build confidence, and stay disciplined—even in challenging markets.

If any of this resonates with you, it’s because you’re not alone. These are the same issues that I had that held me back for YEARS.
