Hey bros, blogpost here.
For about a month I really felt like I had figured it out. Every morning I would wake up, I immediately felt at peace, I knew that I was the man I wanted to be. 
This led to the following experience. In my subjective reality, I had been unemployed for 2 years and I just found out about day trading in November. Part of being the man I want to be is that I achieved my wealth without having to work on someone else's time, which day trading seems to allow for me.
Since I had some extra money, I figured I would play around with it starting this January, and in one week and a few days I took $700 up to $5k trading futures. I repeated to myself that every trade I take ends up profitable, and continued to hold onto the feeling that I am the man I want to be. 
And for about 9 days of trading, I had 100% accuracy on the 80 or so trades that I took. That is, until today when I went long and saw the bottom fall out of the market, to the point where I had to sell for a loss of $4k so that I wouldn't get liquidated and have extra charges (in hindsight, it was an obviously retarded trade to take, and to hold on to for that matter, but I was operating on my assumption without abandon).
So, I'm still up about $300 from when I started, but I'm clearly not profitable on every trade as I told myself.
Where did I go wrong?
