What to Do if Your First Trading Year Was a Huge Flop

Dave Huber • April 23, 2025

If you’re struggling to make a profit trading–I see you.


It can be so frustrating to do well on one trade, and then give all your money back to the market on the next one.


I’ve been there!


You’re probably making some common mistakes without realizing it–and these things are learnable. 


Once you stop making these common beginner trading mistakes, and you start using a trading system to structure your trades, your trading profits have the potential to finally take off.


Here’s what you need to do to turn your trading around after a huge flop.


Don’t try to win back the money that you’ve lost.



Winning back your money might seem like a good idea, but if your goal is to win back the money you lost last year, your mindset is too focused on profits.


Instead you need your mindset to be focused on process.


Don’t chase the money–chase the process that can make you the money.


What you really need to become a great trader is a system where you can follow along that takes the guesswork out of trading.


The only reason I can be profitable year after year is because I prioritize following the four part trading system that I talk about in my free masterclass.


And it’s a system that doesn’t just focus on trading.


It focuses on me becoming the trader.
