2 weeks in a gutter

You should know when and where to stop. Take a break, drink some water, and with a bit of luck you'll make more.

Stop trading and take the necessary YEARS to perfect your game-plan.

That's probably what you don't want to hear but without that proper game-plan you haven't really got much of a chance.

Always expections to the rule but for most professional traders it takes YEARS to learn. Think about it? Trader A has taken the years (of pain, heartache, frustration etc), Trader B hasn't, he's jumped in the game and almost from day one is expecting to make steady profits. Where do you think the money is going to end up overtime?

Reminds me of one book I read where the author said they got lucky right when they started and made $6,000 which was the worst possible thing that could happen. It made them think trading stocks was easy.
 
I've been trading since 1969, and profitable since 1984. I have sympathy for you if you are trying to learn this craft. There's plenty of information and material available, and most of it doesn't work. Those who know how to trade, usually have little interest in teaching.
 
Do you truly believe that you deserve to make money and can make it consistently? Many people who struggle don't truly believe it.
Everytime I make a profit, I bank around 50% as long as the profit is more than $500. I've also been told to never look at your gains as dollar value only percentages. Consistency, lately NO, only because I thought I was ready to move up(higher prices options), when I started it was very consistent with lower gains now I feel like I'm starting to play a poker game.
