You’re Playing in the Major Leagues (But Nobody Told You)

Hi there,

Brian McAboy here from Inside Out Trading, and I need to share something with you that might sting a little—but could completely change your trading results.

If your trading isn't going as well as you'd hoped, if you're finding it rougher than expected, or if you're not having the fun and profit you signed up for, pay close attention. This could be the missing piece you've been looking for.

The Dangerous Misconception Most Traders Make

Here's what I hear from traders all the time: “Trading is just buying and selling for profit” or “It's about finding an edge in the markets.”

Those aren't wrong, but they miss the bigger picture entirely.

Because trading has almost zero barriers to entry—you don't need licensing, degrees, or even much capital anymore—most people approach it like an entry-level job. They think:

  • Grab a decent strategy
  • Follow the rules
  • Figure it out as you go

This is the costly mistake.

Welcome to the Big Leagues

Here's the reality check: When you're trading stocks, futures, and currencies, you're not playing poker with your buddies. You're in the global markets—the big leagues.

You're going head-to-head with well-funded professionals who have:

  • Massive capital backing them
  • Cutting-edge technology
  • Teams of analysts and researchers
  • Years of experience

This is professional speculation, and amateurs get their money taken from them all day long, every day.

It's Not Just About Having a Strategy

Think about it this way: Would you step into the batter's box against a 95-mph fastball without professional training? Of course not.

Yet that's exactly what most traders do when they jump into the markets with just a strategy and some discipline.

You need a complete skill set that includes:

  • Strategy Selection: Knowing how to pick what's right for YOU
  • Process Building: Creating consistent, repeatable systems (not just rules-based trading)
  • Proper Testing: Validating your approach before risking real money
  • Confidence Building: Overcoming the catch-22 where you can't stick to your system long enough to build confidence
  • Mental Conditioning: Training yourself for consistent execution under pressure

The Skills They Don't Teach You

I learned this the hard way during my first year of trading—it cost me nearly $50,000. But my background as a quality assurance engineer taught me something crucial: Success comes from engineered processes, not hope and willpower.

Most traders struggle because they're missing the systematic approach that professionals use. They don't know how to:

  • Build processes that deliver predictable results
  • Test those processes properly
  • Execute consistently when emotions run high

Why “Just Keep Trading” Doesn't Work

I've worked with traders who've been fighting the same issues for 5, 8, even 15 years. They keep thinking they can “trade their way out of it.”

You can't.

Trading doesn't lend itself to being figured out through trial and error with real money. You need an outside perspective—someone who's been there and knows how to make this work systematically.

You Can't See What You Can't See

The good news? This is absolutely a solvable problem.

Once you treat trading with the professional respect it deserves and bring the right skills to the table, it becomes the rewarding occupation it's meant to be.

But you need the proper training and framework to get there.

Tired of it taking SO LONG to actually get consistently profitable?
