Good point. I am convinced the main reason why people are not patient is because they are undercapitalised. It's not the only reason but I am sure it is the main reason.
The fact of the matter is, if you trade, at say, £100 a tick, you get one setup and it makes 10 ticks, you patiently wait for the next one. Even if you made just one trade that day. You've made £1,000 in the example and that's not a bad result for 9 hours work.
But let's say you trade at £1 a tick and you get one setup that makes 10 ticks. You are immediately on the look out for next thing that looks half decent - even if its a complete punt. Because £10 for 9 hours work makes you feel like a failure- it's simply not enough.
This was one of the single most important things to realise in my personal development as a trader.
I think the same thing. I'm alot mentally stronger when i have a good balance behind me.
