This is my third week in a row of returning a profit. A modest profit but a profit none the less. However, it is not the profit made that encourages me, but rather how I made it. The lessons I am learning and employing. The patience, discipline and focus. The presence of mind, whilst trading. The acceptance of the outcome. My ability to resist taking a quick scalp and actually stay in a trade. The fact I can watch a move happen without me and have the patience to wait and not FOMO into a trade, as I know there will always be another move. The moving of stops and application of both Buy and Sell stop orders if I am focussed on one market, but the potential for the other to generate a signal is present (I trade both FTSE and DAX simultaneously).
Of course I still have fear and hesitate sometimes, I miss entries, I move my stops too soon, I close some trades too quickly, but, I am improving my MINDSET with regards to trading, and THAT is what matters above all else.
Mindset makes money. Not the other way around.
