The Core Mindset Shift
Hobbyist traders typically set goals like "make ₹50,000 this month." Professionals set process targets instead: "follow my entry criteria on every qualifying setup," "respect every stop-loss without exception," "risk no more than X% of capital per trade." The reason is simple — a trader has direct control over their process, but no direct control over the market's outcome on any given day, week, or even month.
