The Profit Paradox That Keeps You Stuck

There's a weird paradox in trading that nobody talks about...

The harder you chase profits, the more likely you are to lose money.

But the more you focus on protecting your capital, the easier profits seem to come.

Sounds backward, right?

I discovered this truth the hard way, after years of aggressive trading nearly wiped out my account.

Here's what I mean...

When you're fixated on making money, you tend to:

• Force trades that aren't there

• Size your positions too large

• Hold losing trades too long

• Cut winning trades too early

• Break your own rules "just this once"

But when your primary focus is protecting your capital, something magical happens…

• You become more selective with your trades.

• Your position sizing gets more rational.

• Your emotions stay in check.

• Your decision-making improves.

And ironically... your profits actually increase.

I call this the "Profit Paradox" - and understanding it was a complete game-changer for my trading.

Think about your own approach for a moment...

When you sit down to trade, what's your primary focus? Making money? Or protecting what you have?

Be honest with yourself.

The answer might explain a lot about your results.

Here's the truth that took me years to accept:

The market doesn't care about your profit goals.

It doesn't care if you need to make back yesterday's losses.

And it definitely doesn't care about your monthly income target.

The market is going to do what it's going to do. Your only job is to protect your capital while you wait for high-probability opportunities to present themselves.

That means having the discipline to:

• Stay in cash when conditions aren't right

• Size positions appropriately

• Cut losses quickly

• Let winners run

• Stick to your rules no matter what

It's not exciting. It's not sexy. But it's how real traders survive and thrive in this game.
