Not all traders should act in the same way as the best way to progress and learn from the market is by failing, those mistakes often train us not to make the same mistakes over and over again. Maintaining distance results in minimal failures and therefore equal learning, maintain distance but make effective movements that generate money only the most specialized traders because they already have all the necessary experience to know when it is the exact time to make a move.
Quitting or taking some distance do have some advantage actually.You cant afford to just let yourself continuous on losing until you out source of funds.
Making some space isn't a bad decision rather the important thing is that you do know how to utilize that time to realize things or the mistakes you had done.
Losing passion is for those people who do easily give up when experiencing failures.
