As an investor when it comes to loss or profit no one will likely say yes to loss but profit am very sure everyone's admires that.
It's because there's no one that wants to lose but all of us are into profit and this is the reason why we're investing, to make possible outcomes and make it profitable. Because if you are an investor and all you want is to get some losses, there must be something wrong or you're still at the early phase of being an investor and learning is part of it that's why it's okay to lose but other than that, no investor want to lose.
The little that comes in could be useful if you chase the bigger profit and wind up losing everything. It's a gradual process. Because many Investors have bigger dream of their own.
As you've said, it's a gradual process. And if you're chasing something like bigger profit, you may not be able to chase it. Do it naturally and do your thing in the best way that you can. There is no need to chase it, someday it's going to be the profit that shall chase you when you've mastered your craft whether it is in investing or trading.
