So the lesson here is, as a beginning trader, a realistic goal is to trade your account as a learning exercise and not just for the intent of making a profit. Over my 12 years of trading, and training 15,000 students, it’s clear to me that the people that make money don’t think about the money or ‘profits and rewards’ nearly as much as those who don’t make money. Therefore, your final goal is to not only want to be a trader, but to be honest with yourself and either find a passion for trading or cut it loose and move on, because I can promise you if you don’t love, live and breathe trading (not the money) you won’t succeed.
