Why You're Not Failing — You Just Need a...

Brian Montes
About this episode

You're not failing — you're just trading without a system.

If you’re feeling stuck, discouraged, or like you’re “just not cut out for trading,” this episode will shift your mindset. Brian Montes breaks down why most new traders lose money (hint: it’s not because you’re not smart enough) and how building a simple, structured swing trading system can change everything.

Whether you're a beginner or you’ve been trying to “figure it out” for months (or years), this is your wake-up call to stop winging it and start trading with purpose.


In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why losing trades don’t mean you’re failing — they’re feedback

  • The six components every reliable swing trading system must have

  • How a lack of structure leads to emotional, inconsistent trading

  • What happens when you finally build a system and stick to it

  • A step-by-step process to create your system from scratch
