Many traders think, “I absolutely want to finish each day with a profit,” “I need to make a certain amount today,” or “I have to recover my losses!”.

However, the more you cling to these ideas, the colder the market will respond to you.

That is because all of these represent a state of “being controlled by money.”

Attachment to money brings your ego and desires to the forefront, clouds your judgment, and hinders consistent action.

The market is not a place to fulfill your ego, nor does it care about your wishes.
