Let’s get real—trading will break you before it builds you. If you're not ready to fall flat on your face, you’re not ready to be in this game. But if you are—if you’re still reading this after blowing an account, missing an entry, getting emotional, or just straight-up losing—you might already have what it takes.
Perseverance Isn't Optional—It's Required

Trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a journey of personal development disguised as a financial opportunity. You don’t learn discipline, risk management, or patience until life forces you to.

Every blown account teaches you what risk really feels like.
Every missed trade humbles your ego.
Every losing streak tests your commitment.

But every time you come back to the charts with a clearer head and a better plan—you’re leveling up. That’s perseverance. That’s the secret. Not a signal service, not a perfect strategy. Just showing up again and again, even when it hurts.

There’s no such thing as a “failed” trader—only ones who stopped trying.
Blowing accounts is tuition.
Getting emotional is part of the test.
Taking Ls is the price of learning how to win.

If you keep showing up, keep studying, and keep trusting the process—you will outlast the noise. You will get funded. You will trade for freedom. But not if you give up when it gets hard.

Keep going.
Even when it’s slow.
Even when nobody claps.
Even when you're doubting yourself.

Because that’s when you’re closest to the breakthrough.
This journey isn’t for everyone. But if you’re still in it after all life has thrown your way—you’re already ahead. Keep pushing. And remember, consistency comes after chaos.

Trade well,
Don Leche

Trading is NOT easy. If you're reading this, then that means you know that already and success is just around the corner. whatever you are having trouble with is a quick fix but discipline will only be the way to lead to you that success. Keep your head up! I think I'd be good in 2-3 years but it took me 5 years. If no one believes in you I'm telling you now, I DO.
