2. Your success ratio is great (hope it remains constantly like this or improves even further)
3. You being a scalper have the advantage of high trade turnover rate that reduces risks (longer term traders may try to achieve this advantage through diversification)
Ignored
Lest I seem to paint myself as an outright prodigy, I will always admit that I regularly fail to follow my own rules and my accounts have the dents to prove it. Discipline is learned over time and through painful experience.
The really difficult thing about trading is: you just can't afford to make mistakes. Any single mistake can end your enterprise. What other job has this kind of pressure?
If I make a mistake in an engineering design, there are multiple other sets of eyes that will see the plans in review - normally I will be re-doing sets of plans 2-3 times as a matter of course. Then I will be on a jobsite and have a chance to catch mistakes before it is too late and any design mistake gets implemented. This plays out over months and years. You put on an over-levereged trade without a sl on a news spike and get a margin call & your account is gone the whole thing can take place in a few minutes.
Anyway, that's one of many reasons I wouldn't want to depend on trading, solely, to live....
