How do you keep being motivated?

Found a new Chinese bubble tea shop in town. Nice pearl milk bubble tea and red bean bubble tea. Nice. Will try some more flavours next week.

(the car sounds amazing!)

Success recipe: “never ever give up.”

What keeps me motivated is my love for trading. Over the past year I have learned so much, I love charts and chart patterns, and the more I learn, the more I enjoy it. Charts are my porn. This is how I will retire.

Really, if you love what you do and you’re good at it, that’s motivation in itself, there’s really no need to look for it.

If you are continuously losing money, means that you have missed something in your learning process. I would suggest that you make analysis of your previous deals, and try to realize what you have done wrong. Try to improve it in your next deals. Demo account is very good for this purpose

I take loss as a practice to get better and as a lesson to avoid making mistake again. With that having mind set, I am able to keep myself feel more motivated to do better the next time I trade.
But if you keep losing more and more, take a break and come back again with fresh and clear mind so that you can start trading again. Imagine your reaction if you are winning.

Like this curve & that’s the reality of Forex trading profession; no doubt on it!

I’m trying to get myself away from using negative language and terms like lose and loss etc. and even their corollaries like win and winnings and winners etc.

As long as you’re following your system and it is already proven, losses, lose, losers all sound too negative. Like you made an error or your TA was wrong or you were gambling and you were unlucky. In reality, as no system can work 100%, these are costs not losses. Like your electricity and phone bills.

Focus less on the trade, more on being a trader.

But I think; it’s all about focusing on trading process instead of focusing on profit or loss!

I understand, everyone makes losses in the start. When i started forex trading, even i was in the same boat. What you have to bear in mind is that its okay to make a loss. Everyone makes losses. what’s important is to learn from your mistakes. Whenever you make a loss, instead of feeling disheartened you should try to figure out the reason for loss and avoid it in future.
Making consistent profitable trades in forex is a slow process. So keep calm and keep trying.

What I have seen in real market, I have shared. It should be focus on trading strategy and tricks but most of the traders are having focus on Money.

some motivational videos are really good particularly " team fearless’. but it not works in practical life , its all about for temporary session.

But I think; it’s useful (motivational videos); even what we can expect from this type of video?

I don’t know, I have never actually watched one. I always wondered whether the people making them actually believe the stuff they’re saying.

Nice to see your approach! Yes, you got the point! Focusing on the money is an illusion!
