Success and Happiness for me at this point of time as a trader. Many traders never achieve success and happiness simultaneously. Key reasons are :

We need to feel excitement , which tends to create losses. Many people pay to get excitement from the market.
We set conditions on our happiness. Do you do that too ?
We focus on what we do not yet have. Day dreaming too much …
As traders become more successful , they have more to lose , more to worry about and more to achieve before they can become happy. Misery-thinking too often becomes a way of life for traders. Then they can never be happy …
Yes , this potent combination of trader success and trader happiness is rare. That is because so few traders understand the underlying forces in their profession which work against their happiness as they propel themselves toward success….
