This is always there because in demo we trade without emotions and when emotions get involved with the real money trading we see that our logic is overruled and we tend to make many mistakes only to lose money.
I agree, that's why I've started a Micro-Acct, trading only .01 lot size-for NOW!! I've had an up, down and UP week this week; and have run the gamut of emotions, experiencing that fear you get after several consecutive losses-then closing out the next few trades after just a tiny profit, scared it's going to turn on you!! I just haven't gotten to the point where I can let the trade run its course for a few days. Perhaps I'll stick with the lower time frames and intra-day trading-at least for now. My strategies seem to work much better on <12hr trades. (AND I'm going to lay-off trading news events until I understand Fundamentals better!!)
I'm glad I started back meditating twice-a-day again!! Can't remember who it was that suggested it when I first started trading, but grateful to have this as yet another tool in my toolbox!!
