✋ Why most traders quit — and what you can learn from it

Trading looks exciting from the outside, but most beginners don’t last. The path is long, filled with losses, and demands far more patience than people expect.

Here are the biggest reasons traders give up, and the lessons hidden in them:

🟡Blowing up the account

The fastest way to exit trading is to lose everything too soon. Beginners often risk too much, chase random signals, and hope luck saves them. When the account is gone, the journey ends.
The lesson: survival comes before profit. Without risk management, there is no second chance.

🟡False expectations

Marketing promises easy money, automated systems, and quick success. Reality is different: endless study, constant uncertainty, and no shortcuts. Many leave disappointed.

The lesson:

trading is not a lottery ticket, it’s a craft that takes years to build.

🟡Discouragement from losses

Losing trades are inevitable. Even the best lose often, but they size correctly and move on. Beginners treat every red trade as personal failure, which leads to fear or revenge-trading.

The lesson:

treat losses as tuition, not disaster.

🟡Losing the zone

Every trader knows the flow state, when setups are clear, confidence is high, and execution feels easy. But life interrupts: personal issues, big losses, or simple burnout. Many never get back.

The lesson:

discipline means restarting small, rebuilding momentum, and staying consistent.

🟡 Trading isn’t for everyone

Not everyone wants to sit in front of charts, take financial risks, and live with uncertainty. Some discover they simply don’t enjoy it.

The lesson:

knowing when to step away is strength, not failure.

Most traders quit because they treat trading as a shortcut. The few who last see it for what it is: a profession.

🏦Christopher Waller, an expert at the U.S. Federal Reserve System (FED), said in September that he supports lowering interest rates by 0.25%.

🗣️Main points from his speech:
Interest rates will be gradually reduced to manage the economy in a stable manner. Additional cuts are expected in the next 3-6 months. If the August jobs report is poor or inflation remains low, a 0.50% cut is also possible. Excluding the temporary impact of tariffs, inflation is close to 2%, but the labor market is weakening – this is a dangerous sign!

🔄Translation: If the unemployment rate on September 5 is high, the market might crash, then if the CPI on September 11 is not bad, the market might head towards moon. On September 17, the FED will announce its decision on the rate, but until then, these two reports will have already priced in what it will do.

👌 @education

📆High-Impact Events Traders Are Watching This September

🔥September 5 – US Non-Farm Payroll

This report is a key indicator of the US labor market and overall economic health. Traders expect a slight increase as businesses expand hiring on the back of stronger activity. A solid result could reduce the chances of the Fed taking a dovish stance at the next FOMC meeting.

🔥September 11 – US Consumer Price Index (CPI)

The CPI release will provide crucial insight into inflation trends and monetary policy expectations. Rising tariffs have pushed both input and output prices higher, which may fuel further inflation. If inflation climbs, the Fed is likely to remain cautious on easing policy.

🔥September 11 – ECB Monetary Policy Statement

The European Central Bank’s announcement will shape the outlook for future interest rates in the EU. Markets expect a cautious tone, as mixed economic signals leave the ECB under pressure to balance growth and inflation concerns.

🔥September 17 – US Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision

The Fed meets eight times a year to set rates and policy. Traders currently expect a possible rate cut, but attention will focus on the updated SEP (Summary of Economic Projections), which will guide market sentiment.

🔥September 17 – Bank of Canada Interest Rate Decision

The BoC decision will influence Canadian markets, currency, and equities. Economic pressures point toward potential rate cuts, with investors watching closely for signals on future monetary policy.

🔥September 17 – UK Consumer Price Index (CPI)

The UK CPI release will be key to inflation assessments and Bank of England policy moves. If inflation proves persistent, the pound may fluctuate, while equities could come under pressure from higher prices.

🔥September 18 – Bank of Japan Interest Rate Decision

The BoJ’s policy decision will be closely watched as Japan manages inflation and growth during its recovery. Markets expect another pause, as US tariffs have not yet significantly impacted Japan’s economy.

🔥September 29 – Tokyo Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Tokyo CPI, a leading indicator for Japan, will be a critical gauge of inflation. A stronger reading could raise expectations for a rate hike at the October meeting, bringing interest rates closer to the 0.75% neutral target.

📊 U.S. CPI Data Release Today

The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data will be released today at 12:30 UTC. The market expectation is 2.9%.

🔥If CPI comes in below 2.9%, Bitcoin and altcoins could rally strongly.
🔥If CPI equals 2.9%, the market may see a short-term correction, as last month’s CPI was 2.7%.
🔥If CPI comes in above 2.9%, this would likely be negative for both crypto and traditional markets.

– Yesterday’s Producer Price Index (PPI) data came in much lower than expected. If a similar surprise happens with CPI, it could strengthen the case for a 50 bps rate cut later this month.

📈 Buffett on patience: lessons from a legendary investor

Warren Buffett has long argued that impatience is the biggest reason most investors lose money. His famous analogy says it best:

You can’t produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.

Some outcomes simply cannot be rushed.

🖱️ Why patience matters
Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway by selecting quality businesses and letting compounding work over decades. Quick profits tempt many, but his results prove that waiting is the real edge.

🖱️ The problem with short-term thinking
Wall Street often demands rapid growth and quarterly wins. This pressure usually leads to decisions that hurt long-term value. Buffett resisted it, and that discipline created lasting wealth.

🖱️ More than investing
The same principle applies to startups, innovation, and policy. Pushing for speed in areas that require time often sacrifices quality and stability.

Buffett’s point remains timeless: growth cannot be forced. Patience and discipline are not just virtues, they are competitive advantages.

📈Wall Street Cheat Sheet

The only difference between a profitable trader and a non-profitable trader is how they control their emotions. While the latter always shows the right emotions at the wrong time, the former understand their emotions and use them at the right time. To succeed in the market, you need to understand the psychology of the market, which is why we bring you this Wall Street cheat sheet:

🙅‍♂️Disbelief

This is the usual emotion when a new trend is emerging in the market after a bear market. It probably starts with short-sellers covering their short positions. Some experienced investors might come in at that early stages, but amateurs would remain on the sidelines since they doubt whether the rally will continue (maybe based on some past experience or lack of knowledge thereof). If the rally grows into a full-blown uptrend, those doubters would either start regretting or hop on to the trend at the later stages out of fear of missing out.

🙏Hope

Following the initial rally, the price reaches a moment of temporary consolidation and retracement but traders and investors believe the security has a lot of potentials. Here, we will see people who missed the first rally coming in bit by bit. This phase as seen on the chart is a period of accumulation for what’s to happen next.

🛒Optimism

As the market momentum picks up, more and more investors rush into the market to get a piece; they are full of optimism at this point. This stage sets the pace for the boom stage as it gets media coverage.

🚨Belief and thrill

At this stage, the market is getting a lot of media coverage, and everyone is talking about it. This is where most people get into the market as a result of FOMO. This phase usually comes with a continuous rally as more and more buyers come into the market. Here investors will start recommending the asset to relatives and friends as Fear-of-Missing-Out and what seems to be a lifetime opportunity gives birth to speculations and widespread optimism.

🤑Euphoria

This phase comes with extreme price levels, oscillator reading reaches extremes, but caution is thrown to the wind. Investors and the public will use metrics and new valuation measures to justify the continuous rally. Here the “greater fool” theory comes into play - that no matter how prices go, there will always be buyers that are willing to buy at any price. At the height of the internet bubble of 2000, the value of all technology stocks on the Nasdaq exchange was higher than the GDP of most countries.

😬Complacency

In this phase, market momentum comes to a halt, and then comes a retracement. However, this retracement is soon followed by a slight rally giving the impression of a trend continuation.
Traders still hold on to their positions while waiting for the trend to continue, thinking that it’s just a temporary retracement. What they fail to understand here is that the market has exhausted its move and is ready for a trend reversal.

😵Anxiety and Denial

In this stage, smart money starts taking profits and selling positions as they heed the warning sign that the market bubble is about to burst. But retail investors would think that the market will bounce back.

⚰️Panic, Capitulation, Anger, and Depression

The last stages of the market cycle come with a lot of market decline. In this phase, the bubble is burst. Prices of securities decline faster than they had rallied. Traders and investors are faced with margin calls and a reduction in the value of their positions. Many will capitulate and liquidate their positions. What follows is anger and depression.
