The only difference between my $80k day to your $800 day is size and skill.
Skill to manage larger positions and size to trade with more.
If I have a 3R trade that means I made 3x what I was willing to "lose" on the trade. So focus on R multiple, especially in your early days.

Trading is one of the hardest ways to make easy money.
Once you develop a solid edge + process that’s proven, you start dealing with the emotional warfare

Most traders that say they want to become profitable traders are typically focusing on the wrong things.
