트레이딩 번아웃 — 반복되는 정체에서 벗어나고 싶습니다 😩

when you have enough edge then you will make positive progress. It's just right now you don't have enough edge so your break even at best with randomness swigns up & down, The down part of the swings are what are taxing mentally and sap your energy adn if there is no positive progress Net then you are losing via lost time and opportunity cost.

Work is work. But what sort of gets me excited is trying out new platforms. If you do futures, try out another platform. Sierra Chart will give you a headache, but try it out and you may like it, or even Ninja or Atas aint so bad.

First of all, you are not alone in this. It’s quite normal to feel this way, especially in our industry.
Three years in and I felt exactly the same. Passing evaluations and holding funded accounts are two completely different mental games. Evaluations are easier because they have a clear, defined goal. Funded accounts on the other hand require a level of sustained discipline that very few traders actually manage to build, and that gap is where most people struggle.

What helped me was stepping back and realizing I wasn’t tired of trading, I was tired of the emotional weight of it. Every session felt like a test I had to pass. That pressure accumulates, and eventually you’re sitting down at the charts already defeated before price even moves.

Here are a few things that genuinely helped me:

Reduce your sessions. Instead of grinding every day, I picked 2-3 quality setups max and called it done. Quality over quantity sounds cliché, but when you’re burnt out it actually works because you stop dreading the screen time before you even open the charts.

Change what you’re measuring. I stopped caring about P&L for a month and just tracked execution. Did I follow my rules? That’s it.

Journal your emotional state before sessions, not just your results. The pattern of when you feel stuck often tells you far more than the trades themselves ever will.

Talk to other funded traders specifically, not general trading communities. The prop firm experience is its own world with its own pressures, and most people outside of it simply won’t get it.

Finally, there is nothing wrong with stepping away for a week or two. The charts will still be there. Your edge will still be there. Sometimes the best trade you can make is no trade at all. Burnout doesn’t fix itself by pushing through it. Forcing sessions when you’re mentally done is how you build bad habits that take months to unlearn.

The fact that you still enjoy it and aren’t ready to quit matters. That’s not nothing. That’s actually a signal worth trusting.

Hope this helped, good luck on your trading journey.

That’s normal. Take a short break to reset.

Also, perhaps when you come back, try opening a small personal account instead of a prop. Props can spin you around in loops forever with their rules and the focus on the money. Your own small account can be where you can truly focus on process over outcome and not be tied up with all the rules.
