This concept is critical for longevity as an early day trader - it is choosing to channel peaceful energy with your piece of the market on a given day. The phrase, Peace with my Piece, really embodies an important concept in successful trading, and that is being content with not taking an entire move or every move, especially when you are still newer and fine-tuning your craft. We always aim to be grateful for what we have, so that energy really helps with this approach. We Market Mamas aim to feel predominant peace and gratitude after our morning trading sessions with focusing on the long game. And this has proven very beneficial as evolving day traders!
