It's really good to be your own boss. I mean, you don't need to work for other people just to earn. But if you're going to rely in day trading and will go full time, how sure you are to succeed as a day trader? Because it's a risky thing to rely alone in trading, especially if you have a family counting on you to provide for their needs.
That's the reason why I got interested in trading and I'm sure it's also the reason why others got into trading. Many people say that trading is not easy and you have to experience big losses before you succeed. But because I am very motivated that this trade will be the reason that we can get out of this severe financial difficulty, instead, this is what is making the difficulty worse for many.
I experienced many losses and severe stress in trading before. I backtested my strategy and I said that it works but why does it fail when I go live trading? I realized that the reason for this is our
emotions. I always put it in my mind that we can get rich from trading in short period of time, so because that is our mindset, we can make trades without following the trading plan. So the probability that the trade will be a loss will increase.
For those who plan to enter trading because life will be relaxed, don't be fooled by that.
Strong mindset and self discipline is what you need to be successful because it will be difficult to follow your trading plan without it.
