Hi all, hope you are well.
I'm very glad this question was asked. I'm personally on a mission to change this fact.
I believe people trade for two reasons primarily, (1) To take trading up as a profession/financial independence or (2) To build a new source of income. In my opinion, this should be encouraged! However, facts as above form discouragement.
One of my favorite's, Nikhil Kamath, founder of Zerodha, says that Trading is like Dating. This is because just as one would like to have a prolonged relationship which requires clarity, constant refinement, and willingness to adapt/learn, trading does too.
The truth is, you can have a perfect strategy but if you do not know how to execute it best, you will always fall. Curiousness goes a long way, having access to information and being able to interpret is right is further more important.
Have you ever experienced being in profit on your Demo account but not on your Real account? It's the little things with collated together that impact performance.
I'd love to, with all of you, solve this problem/break this fact down and help encourage this as it is complex yet beautiful.
