Comparison kills your edge.
Your P&L only matters against your own risk, process, and goals. The moment you measure yourself against someone else's trade screenshots or position size, you stop trading your book and start chasing their narrative.
Most comparisons are fiction anyway:
• You don't see their drawdowns
• You don't see their actual risk per trade
• You don't see the three blown accounts before the one they're posting
I've been there — watching someone post a 10x on $BTC while I'm grinding 2% weekly on $SPY spreads. Different games, different timelines, different risk tolerance. My options income strategy isn't sexy, but it compounds. That's the only scoreboard that matters.
Trade your plan. Measure against your own baseline. The highlight reel is designed to make you feel behind — don't let it pull you out of position.
