I agree with you to built through small wins.
Never stick to your plan if you are doing leverage trading and open it for long term.
Always add demo trading to your learning process.
Never risk more than 1% of portfolio un till you understand the psychology of market.  
Most important thing to improve trading result, after completing learning and practicing process, more and more work required for mental strength as well as emotional control (fear, greed, etc).
Focus on brain relaxing exercise.
