From creating a good plan & strategy, controlling emotions, to finding a good broker, a trader has to go through multiple challenges in his/her trading life. But the biggest of all is to cope with them and be consistent with your trading process.
I track my losses. Sometimes, it happens because of psychological issues, while other times they are because of my strategies. Find out why you are making losses before making any action.
I practised on a demo account before trading on a live account. Directly opening a micro account is of no use if you don’t have a tested trading system.
Many traders fail to complete their education because they are very eager to make money and enter the market with incomplete knowledge, which leads to failure.
I always backtest my strategies before applying them on a live account. But sometimes, I am not able to apply them because I get anxious and scared of losing. I guess both trading accounts are beneficial in their own ways.
Of course, it can. I have seen traders who keep on making the same mistakes and still trade. They don’t focus on skills, rather only on making money. Hence, many even blow multiple trading accounts.
