I had a really honest conversation with my childhood friend, and he said that it sounded like I didn’t truly believe in myself, like I didn’t think that I could actually make it as a day trader. Sadly, I realized that he was right.

All of those times when I didn’t stick to my risk because I didn’t want to take a loss, when I entered a trade and got out right away even though I was right - all of those times I didn’t believe in myself, and that’s why I did all those things.
