Awesome and fascinating tips. Big thanks for your work for community’s development.
It’s quite a crucial topic for discussion. Comfort zone is something that we face daily ot even in trading, but in our ordinary life. We don’t wanna go outside just because we feel comfortable sitting in front of the laptop all day, but at the same time we realise that it might be harmful for our health.

Comfort zone in trading in my opinion is when everything goes step by step with small or minor success. It isn’t bad, it’s good, but when you reliase that going out of this comfort zone will let your dream come true, then what?

You perhaps have to find the ways our of this comfort zone for reaching something more outstanding.
