Obstacles and how to overcome them to improve the Trading process?

This Thread should be interesting to everyone who is willing to have new obstacles or challenges to improve everything around Trading with the right methods.
I have not tested every method by myself now (just the first Task for 4 weeks and I am more profitable then ever ) but I will in the future with 4-weeks-testing-blocks.
To illustrate that a bit here are 5 things I have come up with to challenge myself as a visually System-Trader:

1. Task (done!!!) :
I trade without any form of Price-Candle,Price-Line or Price-Bars .
Observation: I only watch my method to handle my Indis and will not be too greedy or anxious.I stay focussed on the System itself and therefore I am mentally more stable.That's what I have observed.

2. Task:
I trade without information about how much Pips are in Green or Red.
Conclusion for my understanding: I only watch my method to handle my Indis and will not be too greedy or anxious.I stay focussed on the System itself and therefore I am mentally more stable.that's what what I have observed.

3. Task:
I trade with Candles that are all white .
Conclusion for my understanding: Trends are more neutral and I

4. Task:
I am trying to meditate while I am trading.
Conclusion for my understanding: I stay focussed and mentally healthy if there is something going wrong with my Trade in any way.

5. Task:
I hear some music which really dislike and are noisy or strain my mind.
Conclusion for my understanding: I stay focussed and mentally healthy if there is something going wrong with my Trade in any way.

I think that there are other methods floating around our Trader-heads to improve our Trading with the right obstacles.
I would be very glad if any Trader who is willing to share his experiences with this Theme and post it or dicuss this here.
Hope you enjoy and any ideas are very warm welcome.

Just trade

Is there really no one using some tools to make things just a bit more difficult for Trading conditions to improve herself/himself?
2 examples from my own experiences and development taken out of some other businesses what I have meant here to clear things up a bit:

1. Imaging you are a Soccer-Player that tries to shoot the ball more precisively .Than you could shoot against a wall with some squares .After many Training-Sessions the Player notice that she/he could shoot more precisively.

2. Imaging you are a Guitar-Player and you play 4-5 hours/day just musical scales up and down. After many many Training-Sessions the Player notice that she/he has more power in the fingers and the playing is easier and more accurate with no more pain in the fingertips.
But your 3rd finger (which is the ringfinger for Guitar-Players) is more weak then all other fingers and you decide to practize some Extra-Sessions just with this weaker finger to get better for your whole playing.

I try to find exactly such Training-challenges for me as a Trader to get better. Some exercises that help to take the Trader to the next level.

I would appreciate every input from everyone that is interested here.

Thanks for your attention.
Green pips to all.

My ownly rule is no P#rn while trading, its far to distracting

You need to do just like your example:

1. Imaging you are a Soccer-Player that tries to shoot the ball more precisively .Than you could shoot against a wall with some squares .After many Training-Sessions the Player notice that she/he could shoot more precisively.

2. Imaging you are a Guitar-Player and you play 4-5 hours/day just musical scales up and down. After many many Training-Sessions the Player notice that she/he has more power in the fingers and the playing is easier and more accurate with no more pain in the fingertips.
But your 3rd finger (which is the ringfinger for Guitar-Players) is more weak then all other fingers and you decide to practize some Extra-Sessions just with this weaker finger to get better for your whole playing.

3 Imagine you are a trader, and you want to improve your skills, just need to trade more and more and more and more and more (to get the skills, like any other professional) and more and more and more ...

Well logically it's clear what you are point out here.
But what I try to define is :
-Exercises that leads to an "MULTIPLIER EFFECT" .Let's say Exercises that leads to become better more than 1% (maybe 4-5% ) day after day with Trading alone.
You could name it "Catalyst" or "Accelerator" if you like.

Hello, I'm newbie in Forex, and I just started trading. And while I'm trading I'm looking through necessary information. I haven't met any obstacles yet, but I'd like to know which of them can appear in front of me as a new trader and how to overcome them?

Best thing I did was sit back and watch watch and watch more drawing key levels and see how price accepts or rejects they levels and build a plan and strategy from that.

Stay away from indicators that block your charts not all indicators are bad but majority of the time look at naked charts to learn market flow/structure.

Hi Coleen,
well all obstacles have something to do with:
discipline,patience,consciousnes of greed ,consciousnes of fear,reflection and passion.
Most of them could not only be learned from Trading itself but rather from special exercises (please note that these only my thoughts about it,because that't the way I have learnt in sports,science and music which I am very familiar with through my university-education in 2 of these businesses) .

So I am quite sure that there are "MULTIPLIER EFFECTS" that helps us as traders getting through all these heavily stuff just a bit quicker if you are willing and be able to implement that in your exercises.
I appreciate any thoughts from the Pro's out there and like to discuss this further.
Thanks.

It's all about time firstly back testing and looking at the history then come up with a plan, then it's about screen time trying to trade live what hasn't happened yet with the knowledge of the setup should still work, enough.


Live screen time, watching every tick go by is key, unless your a H4 trader then I guess the opposite, never watching the tick by tick.

Thanks for your tips, they are really valuable for me. I just want to specify what kind of "MULTIPLIER EFFECTS" do you mean? I think if I understand what they are, then I would be glad to discuss them too.
