Procrastination: It's the habit of delaying activities that need attention by substituting them with more irrelevant or pleasant ones.

In trading, it's very easy to fall into procrastination, which directly distances us from proper practice and, consequently, from achieving the main objective.

Passion: A very intense feeling that dominates the will and can disturb reason. A strong liking or inclination for something.

To overcome procrastination, you undoubtedly need to have passion for what you do. Trading requires this passion, without it, you will never manage to live from such a demanding profession.

Distraction: Something that draws attention away from something else.

It is one of the worst evils for a trader. Being connected to the computer at all hours makes it easy to get distracted by other more pleasurable tasks that have nothing to do with trading, spending hours without producing anything of value or progress.

Boredom: Annoyance caused by a lack of fun or interest.

If trading bores you, it's because the only thing that attracts you to it is the notion that you can make a lot of money quickly. If trading bores you, escape as quickly as you can, otherwise, it will be your money that escapes from your pocket.

Many times, we fall into procrastination due to a lack of passion, because we are prone to getting distracted by anything, because we are bored with what we do.

To achieve the greatest accomplishments, you have to enjoy it, you have to be eager for the day to start so you can get to work, and even then, it's easy to fall into procrastination, especially because you don't know or have not yet identified the main tasks, the ones that really make you progress.

To avoid procrastination, you first need to identify what truly helps you advance towards your goal, and once you've done this, you need to repeat it day after day, with consistency. This is the most important thing. You could be very good at something, but if you are not consistent, it won't do you much good; you won't achieve the results you desire.

"It's not only important what you do, but doing it all the time."

Discipline: It is the capacity that can be developed by any human being and implies, for every circumstance or occasion, the implementation of an orderly and persevering action in order to obtain a specific good or end.

You will have heard any known trader, who already lives off trading, say that discipline has been fundamental in achieving consistency.

Trading is easy; it is we who complicate it.

I hope it is very clear that to beat the markets, you first have to beat yourself.
