How to be consistent inside the market

The most challenging thing is finding consistency with your trading skills. Everyone wants to make money each and every day but do they have what it takes to even keep up with the different trading conditions？ A few things needs to change if you really looking for consistent results, it is not about the strategy or the system you are using in many cases. Many people already have winning strategies or trading systems, they just look for imperfection in the strategy rather than filtering bad trades themselves and look for what they do wrong and try to master themselves instead of the market.

The most important thing is for you to be present in any way possible and actually keep track of your performance. The most overlooked topic is the psychological part of trading, most amount of traders know that trading is more about psychology, but some of them they do not even know where to start and improve a certain psychological key areas. Most of the point that I have mentioned are about psychological part rather than technical. If you can try to master most of these insights, a lot of things will be much simple. Trading is not the a field for geniuses, but for people who can be humble enough to take their pride aside, listen to what the market is saying, flow with rhythm and take whatever the market has to offer. Consistency can only be attained with good practice, the amount of dedication you have should be unmatched. The work you put in should not be counted or timed that is when you going to see good results you have been waiting for.
