I think one of the best way to remain in the market fr long, is to have a working strategy. Something that has proven to be consistent in the market and have maximum reward. Though no strategy is going to pay you 100% all the time, but if you can stick to it and remain consistent, you might be able to make some profits over time. Again, you have to set a good risk management plan. Managing your risk is what actually matters the most when it comes to trading. And if one is able to manage their risk, then they might be able to stay longer in the market..
This is 2025, no time to be reluctant, rather choose targets to accomplish before the end of the year. Secondly give room for improvement by learn day by day, no days off in this market. Take proper closure on Risk management, it is important in this phase, always setting targets and remember, not to trade with capital you can't afford to lose, fund and trade within your range. Losses and profits are earned everyday, the days we don't come acrossed profits, we fold our arms and smile, because we know profitable trades are on its way. Be extremely careful and apply caution when dealing with a trade, the market have a way to manipulate us but the strong and experienced ones survives at the end.
