Verdict wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built from pain
I've been trading for over 7 years. In my early years, I was making profits but my account wasn't growing. I couldn't understand why. I was winning trades and still losing ground.*
Then I realized the truth: I had no discipline. No journaling. No way to honestly evaluate my own behaviour. I was celebrating profitable trades that were emotionally driven revenge trades, FOMO entries, overleveraged positions that just happened to work out. And I was paying for it slowly, silently.
