How do you keep yourself motivated everyday when you're not making any money ?
Does it help to draw up a challenge or a goal for myself ?
When you feel like you're stuck what do you do ?
I'm sure many successful traders treat trading like a job or a business but where do you start ? is there a certain routine you like ? when you're making actual money paying yourself a salary at the end of the month and a bonus each quarter seem like a great booster to me.
But when you're not making anything it feels like you're just wasting time. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy challenges of trading to a great deal thats why I'm still around after 3.7years of failure and struggle. But we have to be realistic don't we ?
After years of struggle I can finally say with absolute certainty that I'm done losing and I'm mostly breakeven. So I guess I've made a progress but I'm having a hard time recovering my losses. So naturally I end up taking trades with less risk that means less reward, maybe that's why I find it hard to stay motivated ? Should I just top up my account (I'm at 50$ btw from 200$) or should I keep pushing until I reach 200$ and go from there ? I think I'm just tried of trading 0.01lot.
