Exactly. Anyone can easily become a trader, but not everyone can easily succeed.
The market will never let undisciplined traders, traders with inappropriate beliefs, or traders who don't deserve to make money run free.
Any profits gained by chance are quickly taken back by the market.
Transitioning from amateur to professional depends on discipline.
Beginners tend to deviate from their plan when conditions aren't great,
opting for lower probability setups. However, this can create a misleading sense of confidence. Adhering strictly to trading rules is challenging but crucial.
Taking breaks away from the screen, can help maintain discipline and perspective in the mid and long run.
When you win a trade , think it as a small step forward, imagine your journey as a marathon. ?
If you lose a trade , take it as a lesson, get away and use the break as a time-out. Only come back when you have no feelings for the last trade.
