Meditation is another great tool to help you remain focused and committed to
proper trading habits.
As your account grows through
proper trading habits, you can trade larger and larger position sizes to the point of eventually being able to make a lot of money from even one trade per month.
So, the sooner you start learning
proper trading habits and strategies and carrying them out with consistent discipline, the sooner you will start making money.
Then I learn and get more knowledge but not good in
proper trading habits that made me get bad trading.
As I discussed in this recent article on «how to trade with a small account», you can't be so focused on making money that you forgo
proper trading habits (like proper stop loss placement).
Doing this will work to keep you motivated to practice
proper trading habits and generally stay on the path to Forex trading success:
I can not force you to manage your money correctly, master price action trading, or remain disciplined over a long period of time, but if you are truly serious about having a career in trading, you will have to dig deep within yourself and muster up the motivation to do these things and forge
the proper trading habits.
If you want to build a sustainable Forex trading career you've got to be realistic and understand from the beginning that developing
the proper trading habits is what determines whether you become a successful Forex trader or fall to the wayside like most traders.
(Note, some traders do avoid ever blowing out a trading account, and it's typically because at this stage they begin trading with
proper trading habits and they never waver, they stay on track and don't give into the temptations of trading like a gambler).
Consistently trading an effective trading method with discipline, like the price action method I teach in my forex trading course, will eventually turn into
proper trading habits which will then turn into making money consistently in the markets.
