Does it make sense to keep operating if you can't be consistent?

I've been in this trading business for almost three years. I've learned a lot, I've tried systems, read books, done courses... but I'm not consistent. One month I win, the next I return everything. I'm mentally exhausted. Does it make sense to go on? Or is this just not for me?

Honestly, it is hard for me to accept that so much dedication does not translate into stable results. I am frustrated to know that I technically understand the market, but emotionally I continue to stumble upon the same stones.

Look, if after three years you don't see real progress, you're probably wasting your time. There are people who are just not made for this, and nothing happens. Better to accept it now than ten years from now with the count at zero and mental health on the floor.

I was the same. Even worse, with debts. But I realized that what I needed was structure. No more improvising. Diary of operations, backtesting and only operating setups A+. It�s not impossible, but you do need order. Don�t give up yet.

You are not special. We all go through that. The difference between those who succeed and those who do not follow, but not in any way, but really learning from their mistakes. Are you learning or repeating?

Actually, this post touched me. I�m in the same place. I feel stuck. But reading to others makes me feel that I�m not alone in this. Thank you for opening the topic.

Many don�t want to hear it, but if you�re not profitable yet, it�s because you haven�t taken it seriously as a business. Do you have daily risk control? Do you have a written plan? Do you measure your scores by setup? If not, you�re not trading, you�re betting.

I made the decision to stop for six months, not to give up, but to reset myself. I just simulated and checked every operation. I came back with less ego and more discipline. I�m not saying it�s your way, but it helped me a lot.

It seems you need less market and more introspection. Maybe the problem is not your strategy, but your expectations. Are you looking to get rich in months? Then yes, this is not for you. But if you seek mastery and patience, you may be closer than you think.

I'm going to be brutally honest with you: if you can't get $1,000, you won't get $10,000. It's not about money, it's about you. As long as you don't solve that, the market will keep charging you.
