In this episode, Dan dives into the real edge that separates pros from amateurs: tracking. Whether it's your fitness, sleep, screen time—or your trades—if you don't measure it, you can't improve it. Dan breaks down how consistent tracking leads to better performance, the concept of trading expectancy, and why journaling your wins and your mistakes is the fastest way to real growth. He also explains a common and destructive habit: averaging down, and why it's like giving a raise to your worst employee.

This is your call to get serious about trading—like a professional, not a gambler.
