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.

That is a lot more healthy, there are many traders that are always looking to make a big trade in which they double or triple their money and while that is possible we need to be honest with ourselves, how many times that is going to happen? You will need a very bullish market and when that happens you do not need a lot of skill you just need to buy and let the market to do its thing, so it is better to aim low, not only it is better it is also easier, because there are many more opportunities to make 5% with a trade than to make 100% with a trade.
