My Aha moments were inversely proportional to the knowledge and success I had. If you have no Aha moments anymore: or you reached the perfect knowledge or you realized that you have no knowledge at all and have to find another hobby or you realize that each Aha moment is just a small improvement of what you had already, but is not the holy grail or you realize that you should never say "Aha" as it has no impact on what you "achieved" Based on my past experience with Aha moments, I decided not to use Aha anymore. Because after each Aha moment, my expectations were always bigger then what happened in reality.
I had many misconceptions about the market. I thought I would make money instantly. Even I left my job. Soon, I realised: it is not as easy as it looks.
My Aha moment was when I realised I had almost blown my account to zero in the hope of recovering my losses. This impulsive trading was really expensive.
One of the most vital turning points to becoming a consistent trader is getting rid of the "overbot and oversold" concept. It's been a completely different trading experience ever since...
I'm still only using the demo account to practice. There, I had many aha moments as well as sad ones. I will update when I feel the one with a real account.
My aha moment was when I lost money while trading on a live account after being trading on a demo account for almost 8 months.
