People from the trading circles will have varying answers to the question above. But you shouldn’t be confused for all the answers can all boil down to this one very important question:
“Where do they focus?”
In this article, we will clearly lay out the common thinking and decisions that lead many traders into big-time mistakes and how the seasoned ones are able to thrive in this profit-driven venture.
Read on and find out.
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Your question will determine the steps that you will take in your trading journey. Asking “how to get rich quick?” will surely result in hasty decisions. Pitfalls await when a trader is in a hurry to “cash in” in this venture. Those seasoned traders know that the first step to success is asking the right question. You should start by asking: “How to properly get there?”
And that ‘there’ ,as we all know, is the profitability of trading. Hasty and greedy decisions might be the logical shortcut to get there. But every trader knows that ‘shortcuts’ are really expensive. Every necessary step and time that you have bypassed in trading will certainly catch you up in the end. As they say, you can run but you cannot hide.
NO DEFINITE TIME
There’s no definite time in reaching your dream of profitability. There will be dozens of different factors that will clash along the way. These might either lengthen and shorten your distance from profitability. Thus, your mindset must be geared towards trading. A mindset that focuses on learning and trying, rather than profiting.
Trading is such a complex but truly rewarding venture. But only those who possess the right mindset, grit, and gut will be rewarded. Are you prepared to take on the challenge?
