The hardest part of trading is doing nothing when nothing needs to be done.
Most traders fail not because of bad trades, but because they force trades when they should wait.
Your objective is to survive
Not make a bunch of money right away
Simply survive
And if you survive long enough
Get enough experience
Eventually the money will start to take care of itself
You didn't even need to focus on it
The difference between a consistent trader and an inconsistent one, is their approach to losses. I can take two losses unfazed and still trade a setup if it presents without over-leveraging.
A noob trader will take two losses and lose confidence most likely because he/she never plans for it.
Trading is NOT the place to fulfill emotional needs.
The market doesn’t care about your self-worth, your past, your struggles, or what you "need."
It rewards discipline and consistency.
If you are reading
Know that everything will fall into place
You are enough to make it happen
You already have the knowledge to be successful
You just need to take action
