I’m Not a Profitable Trader. Not Yet!

There’s something uncomfortable about talking about trading when you haven’t reached consistent profitability.

Who am I to talk about trading if I haven’t figured it out yet? (although I don’t think anyone ever “figures trading out”)

But I’ve been thinking about that differently lately.

I may not be able to teach someone how to become profitable. I’m not going to pretend that I can.

But I know a lot about what it feels like to learn this.

I know what FOMO feels like. I know what it’s like to break a rule you literally wrote yourself. I know what it’s like to recognize a good setup and still hesitate. I know what it’s like to make money on a bad decision and lose money on a good one.

And I’ve spent enough time watching myself trade to recognize something:

A huge part of learning to trade has very little to do with learning charts.

It’s learning yourself.

So that’s what Small Fry Trades is about.

Not signals. Not promises. Not pretending I’ve arrived.

Just documenting what I’m learning while I’m still in it.

Still learning. Still making mistakes. Still here.

I’m a retail trader learning to trade with more discipline, less emotion, and a lot more self-awareness. Small Fry Trades is where I document the part of trading that doesn’t always make it onto the chart. The hesitation, overthinking, broken rules, small wins, hard lessons, and gradual shift toward trusting a process instead of chasing a result. I’m not here to teach you how to get rich trading. I’m here to share what I’m learning while trying to become the best version of myself. Trading just so happens to be one of my paths to self growth. No Lambos. No promises. Just the process.
