Paper trading is way different than trading real money because FEAR is involved with your real money trades. Fear is crazy. Fear screws me out of winning trades all the time.

One must master the fear. Learn to live with the fear.

If you are comfortable making a trade it's probably a losing trade. If you are terrified to make a trade... those are the best trades i've ever made.

Emotions are never your friend. Follow a system. Never trust your feels. Your feels will kill you every single time. If you don't have a rock solid technical analysis reason to make a trade... don't. Just wait. Good trades always appear.

Patience is the most important thing. Always wait if you are unsure. Never think "omg what if i miss this trade!"
