In order to fulfill his dreams, he should work on most of the factors like the trading plan, trading platform, trading technique, trading journal, and strategy. In order to focus on these factors, the professional trader should be able to be disciplined in trading. So the naïve traders’ mistake is being indiscipline in trading.
