@melissadaytrades: This is a beautiful reflection post. I’d lean into the journey + identity shift because that’s your real story right now, not the P&L. A little overall update on the journey 📈 Honestly… I’m really proud of myself. I started creating content to document this process from the beginning all the way to my first payout and we’ll see what happens after that. As an entrepreneur, I honestly wish I documented the early days of building my first business like this. I can’t wait to look back one day and see just how far I’ve come. Because this journey has already changed me. I’m more disciplined. More consistent. More patient. I’ve let go of bad habits and strategies that were no longer serving me. The community I’m learning in has been incredibly supportive, and that has made such a difference. Am I still in the red on this prop firm account? Yep. Sitting around -$293. And I’m okay with it. Right now, I’m ping-ponging. Learning. Refining. Gathering data. The biggest things I’m working on at this stage are: ✨ Trusting myself ✨ Trusting the setup ✨ Being patient with entries ✨ Giving trades room to breathe so I stop getting stopped out right before the move I anticipated actually happens This is all part of it. I’m not rushing. I’m building something sustainable. And I’m really grateful you’re here watching it unfold with me 🤍 #womenwhotrade #tradingjourney #futurestrader #femaletrader #daytradingjourney
