If I may ask quickly, how do you handle or deal with your emotions in the market, especially when they are high?
No one can do otherwise, else it will mean failure. There is no option as to learning before we start trading in the market, if we don't learn before we start then we just want to give away our funds.
I totally agree, there are times when you just let things take their natural course. Not because you don't want to do anything, but because there is nothing you can do about the situation.
How was your success so far? Are you still struggling to be profitable or already on the green side and trying to avoid to swap into red ?
"How to be a good trader?" Before real time, have a well back/forward tested Trading Plan. Take a simulated account trading amount you will start and triple, three separate times. Find a way to de-stress before you trade. Reward to risk should be no less than 2 to 1. Have no greater than 50 % losses. Study tops and bottoms, they often form reversing patterns and reversing patterns change trend quicker than indicators. Study "time", how long profitable trades take so you have better understanding of getting out at breakeven is a win than overstaying. Have a loss limit and stick to it.
