The biggest mistake intermediate traders make when trying to go full-time
Most traders with 1-3 years of experience hit the same wall: they're profitable some months, breakeven others, and they can't figure out why.
It's almost never a strategy problem. It's a process problem.
The difference between a part-time trader who's "pretty good" and someone who can actually replace their income comes down to three things:
1. They don't have a playbook. They have 5-6 setups they "kinda" trade, but no documented system for when to use which one. Every day is a fresh decision, and that's exhausting.
2. They size inconsistently. Up 3 days in a row? They size up. Down 2 days? They cut size and miss the recovery. Their P&L looks like a heart rate monitor.
3. They don't review. Not a quick journal entry — an actual structured review of their week. What worked, what didn't, and why. Most traders would rather find a new indicator than look at their own data.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not broken — you just need a framework.
That's what I built Alpha Blueprint for. Structured trading education and live coaching specifically for intermediate traders who want to make the jump to full-time.
