The problem I am seeing is people paper trading for the last three plus years because they want to pull money out of the market in their own way instead of in any way possible.
What is this other way?
Forget about being a trader and be a collector instead!
I collect lots &, just as a collector, I value the item more than the money.
Rarity (longer term extremes) makes the items more valuable.
Time (is price/range) gives the item a dollar value.
-A collector (not investor) is my mindset.
P&F charts suck, don't use them...

Trader or Investor...? Nah, we are rare pip collectors of the highest quality
I like that mindset
Whether it be paper or trading a tiny live account for 3 YEARS, there is something else going on...It should not take 3 YEARS. There are ways to speed up the process to an extent. But most will not FOCUS LIKE A LASER, on those ways.
It reminds me of the video Vane posted not too long ago. The guy was saying, "How bad do you want it? Or do you just KINDA WANT IT?!"

Sooner or later the discipline will kick in, and you will know exactly what a poor trade looks like and won't mind taking a cut in space to try again later then the actual entry event presents itself... Or hanging on even if price goes 50% into your space because you believe in the power of the high time frame s&r.
But I believe screen time and time in a trade a very important teachers as the story that the markets are telling become clearer and one can make the evolutionary jump from happy go lucky don't have a clue what to do. To; okay here its gonna drop and I better be on it, cause its gonna be a doozy!

Self-discipline is the ability to do what you should do when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.
Self-discipline is also self-control.
Self-discipline is also self denial. You deny yourself the easy pleasures, the temptations that lead so many astray, for a greater reward in time.
Delayed gratification, put off satisfaction in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term.
The most successful traders are thinking just beyond the short term, they look into the future as far as they can and make sure that the decision is in alignment with the goals (where they are aiming, goals don't really apply because it is not something you can control) they want to achieve. Then, they come back to the present and determine the kinds of things they must do or not do to achieve their desired futures. Everything they do in the short term is consistent with where they want to end up just beyond the short term. They also are well aware that their desired future may not come into existence for which the implications are vast.
