I understand that 999 people out of 100 would be happy with such a daily income. But it's very difficult for a trader to manage emotions. I would say that mastering your emotions is the main component of a trader's success.

I’d say even life itself... It feels like trading is a mirror of life, with all its hidden pitfalls. No wonder so few traders are successful. Then again, it’s pretty much the same with people in life, give or take...
