Trading should be fun, relaxed, and treated as a business.
Trading is completely different from investing.
As an investor, you put money into a mutual fund or real estate with the expectation of an annual return and long term growth that compounds over the years and decades. Trading, on the other hand, is an activity that is pursued with the end result being the creation of income. Trading success is measured by real dollars taken out of your trading account each week or each month. One analogy that proves helpful is to think of yourself as a farmer. Your trading capital is your field.
