I've also learned that Trading is not an easy money machine. It always need your time and effort and most important you have a lot of knowledge, strategies, patience and self discipline. If you are able to enter, you should also determine your trade exit.
I think the main things that I have learnt by trading over the years is patience and self control. Patience and self control has been the key things in trading, for me. If you don’t learn to have patience and self control, you would end up messing up your chances and trading at the wrong time, and as a result of that, losing your money.
Being a trader requires that you learn to control your feelings, and not be someone that is always acting on impulse. You have to take your time with the analysis of the market and make sure that you’re going in at the right time .
