Discipline Is Key To Being A Successful Trader

Throughout my twelve year career as a trader I’ve learned a lot about the ever changing market and how to adapt my approach to it. One thing I’ve never changed is trailing my stop with the market once my first profit target is filled. This is a method that has nurtured my discipline and helped me to remain focused. Whether it’s been moving my stop to break even (the price where I entered the trade) or some other technical level. It is very important to strengthen your discipline muscle because it can atrophy if you don’t. I encourage you to try this method and remain disciplined because no matter how often the markets change, discipline will always be relevant.
