The Trader I'm Becoming

A lot of people call me a trader. I understand why — but I don't fully claim that title yet. Here's why I respect what it actually means, how Pushing Profits started, and what I'm really building.
# The Trader I'm Becoming A lot of people call me a trader. I understand why. I run a trading community. I break down charts daily. I give game plans, levels, executions. People follow my ideas, take my setups, and some even build consistency from it. But if I'm being honest… I don't fully claim that title yet.
