Harder than I thought

Hi people of Earth,

Just to say going from demo to live is far more difficult as I thought, so much more pressure here, and it seems I'm less good in real than in demo due to that pressure.

After 8 days of trading live on scalping m1 EUR / USD, I'm a break even trader it seems, not that much positive or negative results, near 0 profit, 0 loss.

That's a start but well I'm a little bit tired as the real account is something HUGE compared to Demo account.

But well, if it was so easy everybody could do it and then nobody will make a lot of money, right ?

Now is the time I need to f****** improve like crazy and I'll prove to myself I can do this. Aiming for little positive results.

This is the time to get better, hope I'll be able to do this but people, it's insane how hard it's with a real account. Thought I was only at break even in Demo also, I don't get something I suppose, need to keep on learning.

Have a great day people

That is what you should do — keep learning. There is no easy path to success in trading. Good luck.

Thank you for your answer. I've thought a lot about all that happened in that trading session.

My conclusion is that for now the main stuff I should focus and work on is on my mystakes.

Even with the BEST system in the world, it's kinda weird to say this but I won't have made great gains. Even with the best system.

Because you've to follow it perfectly, and with all the mystakes I made even the best system won't have made very much a difference.

So I'm gonna focus on this first of all. I mean, it's a matter of doing exactly what you planned to do, so how would I have been good by doing many mystakes.

I'm back in that game. First battle was hard but I survived without much losing nor winning.

Now 2nd fight is starting !

If by mistakes you mean emotional mistakes you have to work on your psychology. As long as price has met your entry criteria pull the trigger like a robot. Do not be overly happy when you win a trade or discouraged when price hits your stoploss or you close in a loss.

Thank you very much for your advice.

In fact errors was MOSTLY emotional ones, of course. But ALSO to change the rules of my system one day to another because "it seemed to have worked better last day", which is damn stupid because you should change your system rules for maybe "on 100 days it seems to work better" and not "on 1 day it seems to work better".

Also stupid errors like : what do I do when I seem to understand nothing to what is happening ? ........... I tried like a dumbass to understand things and put my system in place in a situation that I clearly didn't understood at all. SO I SHOULD HAVE DO ONLY ONE THING : get out for now of the market and wait for a new stiuation where I understand better what is happening.

I'm serious about this stuff. I need to become better. Money will be a nice adding but it's not the goal. The goal is to become the best.

Hello, it has been quite a while since you updated your thread. Hope you are making progress towards your goal.

Trading could take years to master, it is a tough skill (but very rewarding). Always make sure you keep your emotions in check!

Hi people of Earth,

I'm back to work on that Game, I've learned a lot since my first real days trade, all mystakes written, a lot of thinking to correct those things.

I'm starting again trading for real, but in a different manner with all I learned from the first days of practices weeks, even months before now.

The great thing is once I get this to work I'll be happy very fast probably as I've no huge goals of money making. Nobody talks about it, but well, I'll say with 2000 dollars / month will be enough for me, I suppose it's the advantage of being an addict of meditation, nature and Stoïcism. I don't care a lot about the outside and material world.

But well, it's great fun to work on those trading skills and the more hard they are the more I like it.

Wish me luck people of earth, I'm here to win, and well, everything more than 2000 dollars per month will be gifts I'll use to help my family / friends if someone get sick or have financial problems.

I'm so motivated to make this work !

Feel free to add any advice you think would be great to find success for someone who is like me a break even (neutral resultss nearly, a little little positive or a little little negative but more like not winning but not loising) !

I add that English is not my first langage so if you find my way of writing weird it's probably normal I hope everything was understandable ! Love you all !
