It sounds like you are putting a LOT of pressure on yourself to succeed... no wonder you are emotional. If you are undercapitalized and have to make unrealistically large profits to get by, that would have a lot to do with your emotional stress. Add on top of that the fact that you seem like...

The goal here is to look within yourself and see the source of these emotions. We get emotional when things are important to us. Why are you so emotional about trading? What is it that you visualize when you start to think about your account growing in size? Do you want to make a lot of...
