Figure out how to achieve your trading goal in a step-by-step manner; don’t aim to be a professional trader right away, that’s a good long-term goal, but don’t make it your primary focus right now. What separates successful traders from struggling traders is that successful traders follow a method, a routine, and they aren’t always focused on some big and vague goal, rather on smaller and easier to achieve daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Most traders try to do this by trading way too much, risking too much per trade, and generally having the wrong trading mindset.
