It is impossible to rank the ten listed habits and tips in order of importance. Ideally, a trader can cultivate most of the trading habits listed in this podcast.

However, you also do not want to overwhelm yourself by trying to fix everything at once. Instead, pick one to three and work on them with focus for a few weeks to build momentum once you start seeing results. Over time, you will be able to change your trading for the better.

Remember when you started trading and it was all new. A whole new world opened up in front of you with opportunities and endless possibilities. This is the honeymoon phase and every day you learned something new and it was all exciting.

But then, reality settled in eventually – usually after a few months. And that’s where traders realize that trading is harder than it seemed at first and that becoming a professional trader requires more time and effort than initially anticipated.
