DislikedHeshuhan, I just wanted to say thanks for your trading story, life experiences and the information is vital to retails traders. I was not aware of a lot of the information you have stated and some like the weaknesses of MT4 is actually a given because anything that is free must be a weakness. But we all try to go forward with a dream and hopefully into a reality. I trade using Renko charts and try to do 3 trades a day and take my profits based on a 10 times lot size which gives me a great return...Ignored
I am glad that you are doing well. I am also glad that you found the above information useful, even just for knowledge purpose.
The process from losing to profits is the toughest part. Thus, the moment you can achieve the eureka moment, most likely over time you will turn from a thousandaire to a millionaire. Just a matter of time, practice, perseverance.
I understand that it can be extremely difficult for everyone (I myself included). It is much easier when you have friends and family to support your trading endeavours. However, when one does not have the luxury of that, the only way forward is to have a unyielding belief in oneself. Some people would call this "fooling oneself" because if one does not see profit, how can they believe in themselves? I would just phrase it as "positive mind framing", with a sole purpose of keeping oneself motivation. That also means that, the ideal goal is to not get too excited over profits or get too depressed over losses. It has taken me a lot of failure to learn just this simple thing in life.
Regards,
Mr. He
