I think the “skill before profit” part is the big one. A beginner can have a decent strategy and still lose from oversizing, overtrading, or changing the plan after two bad trades. Getting consistent at execution took 2 years for me trading with hfm
This was my problem also. Strategy was not even the main issue, I kept increasing risk after a loss and changing rules too fast. What helped was using same small risk for 50 trades and writing down every rule break. After that it becomes clear if system is bad or execution is bad.
