It takes a lot of Determination and zeal to be a successful forex trader. A lot of people will try and put you down, but only you know what you have planned, what you are strategizing, and what your end goal is. Take time to formulate a sound and workable trading plan, then try as much to stick to your rules. If you make any changes, test them out first before adding them to your trading plan. Life as a day trader can be difficult, but if you reach out to other traders and form friendships within the industry, it does get better and it builds your confidence to keep pushing on and learning more. I also do not believe in this notion that you need to have worked for a major financial firm in order for you to make millions in this industry. I believe in professionalism, ambition, and discipline as some of the top qualities one must embody as a trader if one wants to make those millions we all aspire to make.
