Many traders enter the market with one goal: quick profit. However, in the world of crypto trading, chasing results often leads to mistakes. Healthy trading does not start from profit numbers, but from a correct and consistent process.
📊 What Does It Mean to Focus on the Process? The focus of the process means: •Have a clear trading plan before entry •Determining the risk-reward ratio from the start •Using stop loss as protection, not an enemy •Entry based on setup and confirmation, not FOMO •Accepting loss as a learning expense, not a failure •Every trade is just a small part of the long journey of trading. •One time profit does not make us great, and one loss does not make us fail.
🔄 Why Can't Results Be the Main Focus? Because the results cannot be fully controlled. The only thing we can control is: •Execution •Discipline •Risk management •Consistency
When our focus shifts to the results: •Emotions are starting to take over •Overtrading appears •Revenge trading occurs •Discipline is slowly fading away
On the other hand, when focusing on the process: •More stable mental health •More objective decisions •Accounts are more resistant to drawdown
🧠 Long-Term Trader Mentality The traders who survive are not the ones who profit the most often, but the most consistent in keeping the process. They understand that: Trading is a game of probability, not a certainty. If the process is correct, results will follow over time.
📈 Keep your process today so that your account is still there tomorrow.
