To add to the above, there is always risk involved with any kind of trading. The key is having a trade plan, a reliable system, a reliable trading method, and having the discipline to stick with it.
What has helped me is having a trade coach. It's helped me be accountable for sticking with my plan even through a series of losing trades. I use the Ultimate Swing Trader system . Not only is it proving to be a reliable system, but it also has ongoing trade support from dedicated coaches.
