From Minimum Viable to Always Viable

Part IV: The Counterintuitive Shape of Trader Development

Welcome to the last instalment in The Counterintuitive Shape of Trader Development series.

This closing act steps back to view the whole arc. Now that we understand constraint, choice, and focus, we can see trader development more holistically—how the forces that launch a career must later be redesigned to sustain it. We return to those like R.G. and others who have just launched, navigating the fragile threshold between survival and endurance. Their struggle reveals the series’ core argument: freedom, once earned, must be constrained again by design.
