Trading gets a lot easier when you stop comparing your returns to other people's theoretical returns. All that matters is if you have edge, if you're realizing profit and taking it off exchange. You have to be honest with yourself, regarding edge, there may be periods of time where it's unsuitable for you to continue trading. There may be periods of time where the only thing you should be doing is trading, at the expense of other things in your life. The only information that matters is information on the assets your trading, the platforms you trade on and what will affect the market. Someone else making tens, or hundreds of millions of dollars should be nothing more than an irrelevant anecdote in your life. You have no idea what the person's portfolio construction is, what their overall positioning is across exchanges, and what their entire year looks like. Comparing yourself to people who are further along in their investing journey is the portfolio killer. People hate to hear it but huge portfolios, just like life, is just the sum of massive amounts of small +EV decisions. Keep your head down and focus on your own portfolio.
