I like that you have a very specific goal. 1 million by December 2023. Here are the 5 criteria for a smart goal Specific (Be a millionaire ES trader by Dec 2023) Measurable (Yup either you have a million or you don't) Achievable (I don't see why not) Realistic ( That's up to you to decide.) Time bound (Dec 2023 is creeping up on us) What you need are measurable goals along the way.
lol, got a shortcut for that? Going up against the best and brightest, in an industry that demands high performance, only a fool “don’t want to work, wants shortcuts.” Here’s the best shortcut; “there are no shortcuts.” Every path will extract its own “pound of flesh” - whether it’s paid upfront or on the road to ruin, dues will be paid.
But I prefer the system way of things. Improve your journey, little by little. It's a marathon, not a sprint. The power of habits ! "We get what we deserve" True most of the time I believe ... Do we even have the requirements ? Luck plays a big role but our character is everything else. Worse is letting opportunities fade away. Cutting our winners short ^^ Or looking for troubles ... Taking irrational risk for nothing. The best way for something to happen, Is to make its non occurrence the most unlikely. Make an offer he / she can't refuses. Obvious, Attractive, Easy and Rewarding.
Good starting point, indeed ! Now he has to work on the system, That will ultimately get him closer to his goal.
Hello deaddog, I have one measurable goal and that is: win everyday, $ 1 million dollars by end of the year as ES a trader. what other goal does a trader need to have? No need to make things complicated. Trade the market and win everyday I am not sure why us traders is even talking about this subject, is this not every ES future trader goals and reason for trading? lol, I am in the wrong business if I can not make $1 million or more or year trading the ES future market.
