As an experienced trader, I believe traders should try to look for opportunities to grow every day and pick up at least one new skill. Always set reasonable expectations; this will prevent traders from being demotivated.
Having clearly defined goals and checking on regularly how close you are getting towards it is motivation in itself.
It comes when I remain focused on my trades and move ahead instead of thinking in a pessimistic way about my trading losses.
It is common to feel less motivated when the market doesn’t work in your favour. Always set reasonable expectations; this will prevent us from becoming demotivated. I reflect on who I was, how I got started, and what I’ve accomplished so far in order to stay motivated.
