I don’t know much, but if you can reliably bag a net 10% return annually you’re essentially winning big.

That's buying the S&P 500 over the long term. Trading is about being successful on trades and scaling it with volume. If you trade to get the S&P 500 return stop trading brother and become a long term investor.

My bad, thought it was slightly lower than 10. My point was reliably beating S&P would be a win.
