  1. Maintaining motivation during trading can be a challenge for both beginner and experienced. Especially when one experiences a series of unsuccessful trades and finds it difficult to keep on trading. To keep up trading motivation you can use a demo trading account to work on mistakes.

  2. Motivation comes from within. When you're going through a losing streak, it can be difficult to find the motivation to continue trading. But don't be disheartened instead move on, adapt, and grow.

  3. You can consider the following points to build motivation while trading:
    1. Don't compare yourself with other traders
    2. Be realistic when it comes to your trading expectations
    3. Don't forget to take a break from time to time
    4. Keep in mind your successful moments
    5. After a successful session, reward yourself

  4. We all lose spirits at one point. And that is the point when one should push harder. This is what makes a difference between a successful trader and a non-successful.

  5. For motivation, I try to recall why I started trading - to achieve financial freedom.

    Just a suggestion on trading motivation - profitable trader affirmation through subliminal message. Google these affirmations and use either google translate or cortana to read out and Audacity to record. Google how to make subliminal audio. I find it helpful.

    The real motivation comes from discipline. A potential reward motivates many traders to start trading. However, to be good at your job, you must love it, just like any other activity. Don't focus too much on the returns, but rather enjoy your trading journey.

    Sport is great, because it teaches overcoming adversity, teamwork etc

    From a movie, but very relevant




    From a real game, full of motivation, particularly the halftime speech by Alan Jeans: "pay the price!"

  10. Every loss is a big motivation to avoid a similar thing in the future. So, to become a professional trader you need to make tons of mistakes. Over time you will see they are quite typical and it will help you to avoid them.
