You have to ensure that the profits in your account are not based on luck, but on a stable method. You are not relying on gambling, not on feelings, but on strategies and rules that you follow step by step. Therefore, you will feel very certain inside, that no matter how the market fluctuates, you can survive.

The most important thing is that you no longer fantasize about how much 'freedom' trading will bring you. You are clear that this industry is actually very hard and very lonely, but you have gotten used to it and are willing to continue. You know this is not a shortcut, but a path that you truly recognize.
