At What Point Should Someone Admit Trading Isn't for Them? - 02/10/26


Listen Later

This is one of the hardest—and most important—questions a trader can ask.

In today's episode, we tackle a viewer's candid question about struggling with trading and whether there comes a point where you should keep pushing forward… or step away. Is trading really for everyone? Are losses a rite of passage—or a signal you're forcing the wrong path?

I'll share my unfiltered thoughts and real experiences, talk about the difference between temporary struggle and structural mismatch, and explain how to evaluate yourself honestly—without ego, guilt, or desperation driving the decision.

We'll also zoom out and look at the current broad market action, because context matters. Some environments punish even good traders, and knowing that difference can change everything.

This episode isn't about quitting. It's about choosing the right way to win.

Listen now:👉 At What Point Should Someone Admit Trading Isn't for Them? Inside the episode:

  • Is trading actually for everyone?
  • How to tell the difference between learning pain and real incompatibility
