If you are being truthful then:
1) you have something that is working well.
2) you have a passion for trading
3) you have alot of anxiety
Anxiety is imagined fear. Accept it...embrace it...don't fight it. You cannot control it or beat it into submission. Acknowledge and accept it then replace it with "the now". Focus again on "the now." Let the now push the anxiety out. Then actually DO what is working now. Do it as much, and as often, as you can. The rest will take care of itself. Live your passion and your dream. Do not let real fear, or imagined fear, rob you of it. Do not let people rob you of it. Do not let statistics rob you of it.
Discipline is being responsible to do WHAT your are supposed to do. WHEN you are supposed to do it. HOW you are supposed to do it. And pay attention to detail as you do it. And do it whether you feel like it or not. That is the best definition of discipline that I know of.
The above definition requires intense focus and hard work. Don't worry about yesterday. Worry less about tommorrow. JESUS once said in Matthew 6:34 "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" You can't change yesterday. Tommorrow you have not yet faced. You are facing today. Do today what you should do TODAY. Focus your entire energies on that. Put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket REALLY WELL. Take care of that basket!
Five years from now you will come back on here and thank ole Pinabetal. All of the above is my opinion only and only that. LOL It is not necessarily advice (except the verse which is advice from the bible). You have to decide! It is entirely up to you!
Take one day at a time and do all you are supposed to do..odds (and you should know about odds) are more success will come.
The harder you work the luckier you will become! If you work at the right thing and go about it in the right way. At the right time.
One quick question. Would your methodology work with an index say like the ES? If it would you could reduce your work load quite abit by focusing on one trading instrument instead of lots of stocks. And the ES CAN handle whatever you wish to throw at it in terms of position size.
Good luck.
