Don't set goals to make money, set goals to preserve money and follow your trading plan. I'm just now adjusting my mindset to follow this principle myself, but it helps. Instead of saying "Profit 1% each day", or "Earn 50 pips per day", say "Never adjust stop losses backward, only forward to break even", or "Never risk more than 1% in any given trade". If you strictly follow your trading strategy and money management principles, you're much more likely not to go broke.
A break-even trade is a winning trade.
