🧠 STOP ASKING “How Much Money Am I Going to Make Today?”

by admin | Jun 5, 2025

Have you ever sat at your trading desk, rubbed your hands together, and asked,

“How much money am I going to make today?”—then this article is for you.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

That question is silently sabotaging your trading journey.

You’re creating expectations.

Because when you focus on daily profits, it’s like planting a tree and digging it up every evening to check if it’s grown.

So let’s flip the mindset, shift the focus, and finally start building something that lasts.

📆 You’re Thinking in Days, Not Decades

Traders who obsess over daily gains often miss the bigger picture.

Ask yourself: Are you in this game for a lucky win or a long-term career?

I am in it for the LONG RUN and if you are too, you will SUCCEED.

This industry is brutal to the impatient.

Whether you’re trading Gold, Dow Jones Futures or the JSE Top 40 – REMEMBER..

You’ll have losing days, choppy weeks, and yes—moments where nothing makes sense.

But the ones who succeed?

They’ve built a strategy and mindset that can weather storms for decades.

📉 When Profit Becomes a Drug, Logic Goes Out the Window

Let’s talk psychology.

The moment money becomes your main reason for entering a trade, you’ve already handed your brain over to emotion.

Fear. Impulsivity.
You start breaking rules.
Taking bad setups.
Doubling down to “make it back.”

Remember: your job is to trade the setup, not the outcome.

📈 Think Like a Business Owner, Not a Gambler

Imagine running a coffee shop.

Would you check the till every hour and panic if it’s not full?

No—you’d focus on quality beans, great service, customer retention.

The profits? They follow naturally.

Trading is no different.

Here’s what to focus on:

Perfecting your edge
Managing risk every single trade
Logging your performance
Reviewing your journal weekly
Protecting your mental capital
Keeping to your strategy and system

Treat it like a profession, and you’ll be paid like a professional.

CONCLUSION:

Let today be the last day you obsess over how much you’re going to make today.

Start asking, “What can I learn today?

How can I trade better this week?

What do I need to do to survive and thrive for the next 30 years?”

Because if you build the right plan, develop the right habits, and focus on the right process…

The money will take care of itself.
