Trading is difficult only for those whose mindset goes against the real truth about trading. There are some universal trading principles that guarantee success in the long run. And it must be adopted by all traders.
The reality is that scalping isn’t the old man’s trading style: it’s the young man’s trading style. The more experience you gain, the higher your time frame, and the more you tend to let your profits run longer. Losing and winning streaks are just the reality in the markets. Know when your system goes in sync with the markets and when it’s out of sync. There’s no way around this. Just make sure that you make more money when you gains and you lose as little as possible when you lose. – May 20

Predetermining the amount you want to gain in a day is a rookie’s thought, since you can’t control the markets. My trading system is one of the simplest out there, yet it works. It mayn’t give me the expected profits, but it ensures that I survive the losses the markets throw at me. – May 23
