“It’s a tough market right now.” That’s the conventional view. But unlike an ordinary business, the business of trading is always accompanied by an unusual amount of frustration. If you’re trading around breakeven, which is common during the first year or two, you’re experiencing an equal amount of reward and punishment, which is hard to tolerate.
