Profitability yes, stability no, what's not said about trading

Hello friends of the PussFi Community, greetings to everyone. I hope you're having a good day. Today I want to talk about a topic that many of you have surely heard about, but that is rarely addressed with complete clarity: the variability of trading profits.

I want to start by saying something very straightforward: you don't always win in trading; in fact, when you start, the safest bet is to lose. And I say this because sometimes people are sold the misconception that this is a path where profits are constant, as if it were a matter of receiving a fixed monthly salary. That's not the case, and anyone who has tried it knows it doesn't work that way.

I've experienced it myself. There are very good months, where everything seems to flow and the system responds optimally. But there are also months when trades don't go as expected, even when applying the same strategy and with the same discipline. And this is one of the key points: trading will never be linear because it depends on multiple factors that constantly change in the markets.

That doesn't mean you can't be profitable; of course you can. But profitability comes from consistency and having a trading system that has a greater probability of success than failure, a system that allows profits to outweigh losses over the long term. It's not about always getting it right, because no one ever does, but rather about having a solid methodology that, on average, works in your favor.

The problem is that many people come in with unrealistic expectations. They think they'll make a living from trading immediately, that every month will be the same, and that they'll be able to withdraw a stable amount month after month. Nothing could be further from the truth. This isn't a job with a fixed salary; it's an activity where results vary, and where patience is just as important as technical knowledge.

Being consistent doesn't mean always winning; it means sticking to a plan even when losses come, because those losses are part of the game. And I say this with complete sincerity: it's hard to accept. Nobody likes to lose, but when you understand that losses aren't a failure but an inevitable cost to achieving profits, your outlook changes completely.

That's why, when someone asks me if I can guarantee that they'll earn the same amount every month in trading, the answer is a resounding no. It doesn't work that way. And anyone who tells you otherwise probably isn't telling you the whole truth.

We can't guarantee anything in trading, because it's an activity in which you can build profitability, but, importantly, not under the illusion of monthly stability. What really makes the difference is discipline, consistency, and, above all, accepting that this path is full of ups and downs. So, over time, what seemed like a roller coaster becomes a much more controlled process, with real and sustainable results, which in the end is what matters, don't you think?
