What is hindering most of us to getting to such point (being a profitable trader) is our emotion which is greed and fear ,
Trading exposes your true nature. If you are a greedy person by nature, that will be what you will need to fight against to become successful in trading, likewise if you are a person who is fearful. Some traders have failed to recognize this, hence the reason they have remained unsuccessful in trading. Mastery of yourself and nature is key to being a successful trader and the sooner noob traders recognize this, the better.
If trading was mostly just strategy, many trader will be successful, but because it also involves psychology, that is where most have failed.
This is indeed true , that’s another thing I found interesting in trading it brings out your true nature , which may also help in self development too , but the thing is that the learning process is never friendly in trading tend to learn the hard way , and if you are the stubborn type that don’t learn easily from your mistakes , trading will definitely humble you . Painful part is that it will become clear after going through those tough moments.
