    How can I be a discipline Trader???

    One more thing: Discipline gives you the opportunity to build confidence. And when you have confidence, you won't mind taking a loss. You will be happy to. Because once you take that loss you will be free to go on to your next opportunity. You will have the confidence to get in there...
