If you’re struggling with your trading consider this:

My trading struggled for MANY years. I held losers, hoping for a comeback. I cut winners quickly, b/c I didn’t want to see my tiny profits slip away. I got mad when stocks did something I didn’t want...
I got really excited when I made a good chunk of money. I always gave that good chunk back to market within a few weeks/days. I didn’t keep a journal b/c it was too time consuming. I didn’t reflect on my emotions and how they were sabotaging everything I did...
I nearly quit- MANY times.

But I didn’t quit.

Instead, I finally admitted that I sucked. I admitted I had to take a different course. I ultimately decided I had to grow up and start taking this business seriously if I was going to survive and achieve my goals.

...
If this sounds like you…

Don’t quit. The world needs more people that love what they do.

Set your EGO aside- admit you suck. Start treating this profession like a career, instead of a get rich quick scheme. Learn from people that have done it before….
Study their processes. Study their mindset. Do the hard stuff you don’t want to do- like journaling. Reflect on yourself and how you can be a better person/trader- each day, every day. Be accountable for your results and always be learning.

Take it from me…

Someone who sucked
I am still here and I am still learning.

Peace...
