I think it looks encumbersome when you start. One of the worse things that happened to me was gaining 50% in the first week I had a demo account. I thought it was supposed to be that way all the time. Then, all of a sudden, I bankrupted endless demo accounts in the process of establishing my methodology.
Now that the formation of my methodology is behind me, and I have solid margin practices, the challenge is now keeping my head in the game. I want to maintain my high level of confidence, but not become over-confident. As long as my wife can never tell what kind of a day I am having trading by looking at me, that says a lot about the mental or emotional part of trading. It tells me I am keeping emotions at bay.
Overall, it is now at a point that the trade setups come almost like 2nd nature. When things got to that point, instead of the way it used to be where I was sweating and laboring over trying to find a trade, I knew I became a good trader.
