Today I closed a $30k trade. Solid win.

Then she did the math: "So that's like $900k a month?"

Wish it worked that way. That's the trap everyone falls into—one good day doesn't blueprint the whole month. Markets don't run on consistency; they run on volatility, drawdowns, and the brutal reality that yesterday's winning streak can flip in minutes. A breakout trade that prints 5 figures doesn't mean you've cracked the code. It means you caught a move. Knowing the difference between a good trade and a good trader is everything.

Want to earn 900k a month with just a 30k deal? Wake up, brother. That's an overly ambitious dream.

Made a profit with a single trade, everyone around wants to copy the full monthly gains... Wake up, everyone, the market isn't that linear.

30k? Sounds good, but I really can't do this every month. My wife has asked me the same thing haha

Want to copy an entire month with just 30k? Wake up, the market isn't that gentle.

A single 30k trade can make people happy, but a quick retracement immediately brings them back to reality... This is why the market's little flowers always like to play hide and seek with people.
