If You’re Not Profitable Yet, Read This Immediately

Hey Mate,

If you’ve been trading for a while but still aren’t profitable, it’s not because you’re unlucky.

It’s because you’re missing one (or both) of these two things.

Fix them, and you’ll go from struggling to profitable faster than you think.

1. You Don’t Fully Understand Trading

Most traders think they understand liquidity, liquidity sweeps, and market direction—but if you’re still losing money, you don’t.

The markets don’t move randomly. They move based on liquidity. That’s it.

Here’s what most traders get wrong:

• They chase trades instead of waiting for liquidity sweeps.

  • They enter too early, only to get stopped out by a wick before price goes straight to their take profit. This happened to me for years.

• They ignore higher time frames.

  • If you’re trading against the 4H or daily trend, you’re fighting probability.

• They focus too much on “perfect” entries.

  • Once you get the direction right, all you need to do is wait for a liquidity sweep and enter using a simple entry pattern.

If you get these three things right, your win rate will increase dramatically—even without changing your strategy.

2. Your Mindset Is Keeping You Stuck

Even if you understand trading, your subconscious mind might be stopping you from executing properly.

This is why traders:

• Hesitate on good trades because they fear losing.

• Take profits too early because they don’t believe they "deserve" bigger wins or think the trade is about to reverse.

• Change strategies constantly because they think a different system will remove their fear.

But here’s the truth:

The problem isn’t the strategy—it’s your identity.

If you still see yourself as a trader trying to learn how to trade, your actions will match that.
If you don’t believe you’re a profitable trader, you’ll find ways to stay stuck.

Here’s how to fix it:

• See yourself as a profitable trader now.

  • Stop saying “I hope I become profitable”—instead, say “I AM a profitable trader.”

• Trade with conviction.

  • Fear comes from not trusting your plan. The best traders trust their edge, take the trade, and move on.

• Stick to one strategy and master it.

  • Jumping from system to system is just another form of fear. The best traders don’t use 10 strategies—they master one.

The shift happens first in your mind, then in your results.

Final Thoughts

If you’re not profitable yet, you don’t need more information—you need to execute better.

Master the technicals and fix your mindset.

That’s the difference between traders who succeed and traders who stay stuck.

And I’d love to hear from you:

• Do you feel like technical analysis is holding you back?

• Or do you think your biggest problem is psychology?
