  10. Dude, I don't know how you do it, but I have a lot of respect for you, cuz trading is so hard. I have a regular day job and still struggle with trading and find the whole thing very stressful. You must be under tons of pressure.

    Today was a bad day for me because I broke all my trading rules. An hour ago, I decided to go on a revenge trade to recover my GBP/USD loss from earlier and instead ended up with a losing streak that left me -$579 down for the day. Now my capital is down to $8,343 from $10,000 that I started back in October.

    This is a good reminder for me not scalp anymore. I am just not a scalper.
