How Noticing Your Small Wins Can Transform Your Trading Mindset

I’ve been on a personal training journey for over two years now. In the beginning, I was lifting light weights, with limited range of motion. But two years in, I can see the changes in my body. It’s easy to notice the progress when you zoom out — six months, a year. But it’s the
