🧠 Reflection on the Milestone
Day 75 isn’t about the dollar amount — it’s about what it represents.
- Consistency: 75 straight days of showing up and documenting every trade.
- Discipline: Avoiding overtrading, respecting the framework, and taking small wins without chasing.
- Growth: Learning to manage emotions just as much as managing trades.
The profits today were small, but symbolic: even modest gains add up when repeated with discipline.
The challenge is about more than growing capital — it’s about growing myself as a trader.
