Wymóg patience + discipline**. 12-month curriculum + 90+ days demo + 100+ trade journaled before live. Skipping = blowup. Patience = #1 trait pro tradera. **10. Realistyczna self-assessment przed start**: Czy mogę przeznaczyć 1 godz/dzień przez 12 mies.? Czy mogę żyć bez tych $200 jeśli stracę? Czy mogę emocjonalnie poradzić sobie z 6 stratami z rzędu? Jeśli "nie" do któregoś = nie zaczynaj jeszcze. **Bottom line: 6 wymogów, by zacząć trading PL 2026**: ☐ 1) Akceptujesz 90%+ szansa straty year 1. ☐ 2) Akceptujesz realistic returns 10-30% rocznie (nie 100% miesięcznie). ☐ 3) Możesz commit 1 godz/dzień przez 12 miesięcy minimum. ☐ 4) Masz $200 disposable income (nie pożyczone). ☐ 5) Akceptujesz polski tax 19% PIT na zyski. ☐ 6) Mentally ready dla emocjonalnej kolejki. **Wszystkie 6 ☐ = ready zacznij**.
