I found the op perspective refreshing. In addition to all that has been said, I leave by the maxim that says ant profit is a profit, it doesn't matter how small it is if you are in profit , you have gain something and you should be happy and proud of your accomplishment.
This is where you excel for when you are contented to be happy on what you have gain for and be proud just make sure you do some improvement for this to be.
That's exactly the reason why I have started to make trades for about 5% where before I had consider them "not enough".
5% gained are 5% gained that won't be taken from me.
If there is more profit to make I will make it and unti that time has come I continue to make small profits.
