Balancing is very important, experience is the key to getting better, you can't be a great trader with just theory, but experience itself without proper theory will not be good neither. You can make someone shoot a ball with their heel for ten thousand times, and they will still be worse than below average person who shoots normally on the ball, but if you show them how to shoot the ball, then they can kick it better and then do the ten thousand shots and they will be amazing at it.
Successful traders come into this risky world not in a state of being successful. They come and walk on a path that is not always straight but they walk through steep and sharp gravel. When they have reached the peak of their success if the measure is the wealth obtained, then at that time they still face the name of losing some of the money traded.
Professionally they are recognized not admitting to the public that they are professional traders who are already rich.
We can only do something as much as we can, don't force ourselves to do more.
