I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and studied to better prepare themselves for 2017. My biggest problem, like many others, is being consistent with trading in the market. I have been making foolish trades lately, and I took a week off and sat on the sidelines to allow myself to clear my head. Everyone is going to have their big wins as well as big losses. No single trade will define you, and that's what I need to remember. If you lose money in the market there is a reason you lost. It is not an exact science, but reflecting on your mistakes and figuring out what you did wrong will only better prepare yourself for future trades. I am going to keep this blog post short, but 2017 is going to be the year of consistency. I have been studying for hours and hours a day watching every video lesson I can get my hands on. Do not let these huge trades you see convince you that trading is an over-night success. It is going to be emotionally exhausting when things do not go your way, but it is the way you react to those obstacles that will define you as a trader.

Make 2017 your bitch!
