Losing hope that profitable trading can be achieved

The cycle of inconsistent results, big wins followed by big losses, is a trap we all fall into. Honestly, I don't think a fixed Risk:Reward is the holy grail. Since the market is dynamic, our approach must be dynamic as well.

I've done extensive backtesting, both straightforward and walk-forward, and I have yet to find a setup that guarantees 20/20 positive months. Negative months are bound to happen. What keeps me grounded is pacing myself. Profit? I stop and step away. Loss? I stop and step away. Giving yourself that 'gap' is crucial to survive in this game.

yeah its possible but its extremely hard for a human brain because its all about your mindset and how you react when you loose or win, my thinking was exactly same as yours 3 years ago that is it really possible to make money trading? is this actually a real thing or only the 1% makes money and rest are just selling courses and making videos on youtube but after 3 years of hopping around i figured it out a bit that its not about winning or making big profits in single trades its more about cutting you losses and conserving your capital and being disciplined like have a win rate of 34% meaning i win less than 4 in 10 trades but still my equity curve goes up. The reason is sitting in one number my Avg Loss is exactly -1.00R. Every single loss, I cut it right there. No hoping it comes back, no moving the stop. Meanwhile my wins run. That’s the only reason this works.
What the data actually exposed though is where I get in my own way. 4 rule breaks in 23 trades sounds small. It isn’t. Look at the tail end of the equity curve that recent dip maps directly to a 4-trade loss streak where FOMO and revenge trading quietly took over. The 82.6% discipline score looks decent until you realise 17.4% of my decisions weren’t decisions at all.
Still a small sample size and I’m not profitable enough to be teaching anyone anything. But tracking this has shown me more about how my brain works under pressure than any book or course has.
Curious if anyone else tracks their R:R this way does your win rate actually matter if the R is right?https://tradingqna.com/uploads/defau...6e7d92c5ea.png
