Top notch post TF. One must treat trading as a business. Work diligently at it as if you have a boss grading you and will be conducting weekly reviews. Not simply grading your results, but instead grading your effort, your improvement over weeks past, and your ability to follow the rules you have written. Have a trade journal if necessary to hold yourself accountable to each and every trade. Without keeping records, you won't know what's going well and what you need practice on.
Most importantly for me is to keep getting up after poor days and staying positive. I'm pretty hard on myself, but I realize that doing so isn't productive. Instead, I try to keep a positive attitude. I will be a profitable trader. I will treat this as a business. I will keep a journal. I will demo trade to prove it. I will follow my rules to increasing risk. I will position size. I will hear and listen to the advice of those that are making money consistently. And will apply it as necessary to my own trading. I will not get down on myself for taking a poor trade. I am human. Moreover, I am learning a new career. I am still in college for this new career. I am getting hands on experience. I am documenting what is working and what is not. I am reviewing those notes to improve my 'practice sessions.'
Enjoy your day everyone.
Josh
