Just before your first trade, you need to breakdown your expected monthly or weekly profit into a daily achievable target. Aspriring to hit at a thousand dollar profit isnt bad, but how you get it without wounds ( i mean losses), is what matters. If your target is to make a thousand dollar profit at the end of the month, you should be wise to know that what you need to target weekly should be $250.
Achievable isnt it !

$250 dollars weekly means you can streamline your target daily to $50.

Without discipline in forex you will never land on the board of success.
