My charts refuse to open themselves! Inspiration from successful traders needed

Okay, so I'm at the typical beginner phase where there are more losses in my trading journal than wins. However, I'm seeing improvements as I've identified strategies that I'm connecting with. I'm developing rules that seem to be increasing my wins vs losses.

Still, there are more losses...

I'm at a stage where each day, I dread opening the charts. I find excuses not to: "Hmmm... There are lots of news expected today... I'm not advanced enough to trade the news yet. Better sit this day out." Or "Hmmmm... I'd better study these patterns some more, to get a better feel for the movements of this pair". Or "I'm not done with the final version of my rules yet."

While all these are legitimate reasons to pause with the trading, there ALWAYS seem to be a reason! I need to just start trading already!!! But... I can't seem to shake this dread...

Can someone out there relate to this? Please tell me that this is normal, especially when you're a newbie? If there are successful traders reading this thread, did you go through this at the beginning too? At what point did it go away? How do you overcome these "gun shy" phases?

Since I'm sure someone will mention it, I've already read "Trading in the Zone". In fact, I probably used reading it as an excuse to not trade at one point...

I feel like this is one of those last milestones I have to pass before I can become successful. I've found some systems that have been proven to work. I just have to get my tush onto that chair, open those charts and start practicing. But the charts won't open themselves!

Pep talk please!

It's true what they say: The strongest enemy is yourself.

Certainly happens all the time. Best advice I can give you is to take a break. Go rebuild your mental capacity, a positive psycology will get you everywhere in this business.

Go read Trading in the Zone again.

Though you may have read it you don't have the trading experience (Based on your post) to understand what you read.
Go to Oanda and trade .01 per PIP until u have enough trades to understand that it has nothing to do w/ the money. I'ts the trade.

It's kinda different from me..Im always find a reason to enter the market..maybe it a man thingy or something? I dont know.To me market is a very good advertiser at the beginning, and im always eating the bait.Yeah learning the hard way it is..nearly cant stand up but somehow im still here after more than 3 years.Im not saying that im success already by posting here (as u ask for the success one suggestion needed) but maybe because i never set a pit stop nor a finish line to my voyage in this business.

shy gun phases..yes im there too but usually it's occurred after a serial of loses that shake my...everything? actually mentality and financially the most right?. at this moment I tend to face my facade moment..cant deal with the reality and always cost me another pain...just remember..the real thing..lesson or money always on the real trade.so what is your intention by doing this business anyway? money or pleasure ? what ever it is..come and get it in the live trade..that's a hard explanation. (sorry)

the soft one...it's just normal.entering something new always bring fear..it's humanity right? human always feel superior when they know nearly everything..but tend to shy-shy and fear when they enter something new and huge.usually i put a very small lot to trade..ur shy maybe a mixture of feeling fear of losing money and feeling shorts of knowledge ? so try to trade from a small lot to get the aura of trade..slowly to serial of trades..then you'll know or realize what you've reading all the time..it's something that u can understand thru a live trade,then slowly getting the experience until u feel just so so in a loss or win.hope t helps..IMO
