If you’re focused on dollar amounts rather than following a winning process, you’re setting yourself up for failure.Let’s get real—most traders blow up their accounts not because they lack skill, but because they let emotions take over. Chasing a big profit target? Getting attached to a number? That’s how traders start making dumb decisions—holding onto losing trades, ignoring risk management, and taking setups they shouldn’t even touch.In this breakdown, we analyze a video where a trader set an unrealistic goal—trying to turn $500K into $1M. The pressure? Insane. The mental toll? Even worse. But the biggest mistake? Focusing on profits instead of process.
