When you are trading you never want to make money. That does not make sense to you. What I mean by that is if you make money by accident as a trader, let's say you don't have a stock or a name on your game plan and you randomly trade it and you make money, you've allowed a bad habit to enter your trading space. The moment you allow one bad habit to enter your trading space it starts compounding into two bad habits, three bad habits. Next thing you know the you have a massive drawdown and you essentially blew your account. So you want to try to avoid these problems. You want to try to avoid taking trades that don't fit your game plan because once you avoid those and you start cultivating an environment for yourself that makes sense, that is healthy and that forces you to only take trades that align within your game plan, you start building good habits which will and do compound over time.
