I’ve been struggling with slow progress lately. No matter how much time I spend learning, it feels like I’m not moving forward as quickly as I’d hoped. It’s frustrating, and sometimes I wonder if I’m doing something wrong or if this is just part of the process. How do you stay focused and keep going when progress feels this slow?

I reminded myself that I was in the process of learning how to do something from which I could eventually earn a highly paid, secure, full-time living without ever needing to work for anyone else again, and I naturally expected that to take many years - exactly as it would if achieved any other way - and to involve many hundreds of hours of education and many hundreds of hours of practice, too.
I also reminded myself that at least 99% of people trying to do this failed completely, and I constantly asked myself how realistic their expectations (and mine) were.

Slow progress is a natural part of learning, especially in complex fields like forex. Stay focused by celebrating small wins, setting realistic goals, and maintaining consistency. Remember, mastery takes time. Reevaluate your strategies if needed, but keep learning and practicing. Patience and persistence are key to long-term success.

This is the thread I needed to read just now. Just now I’m not trading cause I found some flaws in my strategy, if I don’t correct them I won’t go anywhere in the long run so I must change something. And I love all the process of re-evaluating the strategy and backtesting (I do it manually), I know this is precisely what it takes to improve. BUT… but sometimes it’s quite frustrating, when you have an idea, you test it and don’t find the results you’re looking for… and so you must start again.
Happy to see I’m not alone in this phase, let’s hold on!
