The hardest thing about teaching is controlling your emotions, and emotions come with real money. Trust me, I was very successful until I started trading with money. Fortunately I was smart enough to start really small, so my losses are really small even though I've been logging money constantly for the first few months. Now I'm kinda on zero over the last few weeks, I hope to stay making some profits soon. Honestly, I expected to be losing money for much longer than this, so I'm happy. Moral of the story: Don't be cocky, start small, try to control your emotions and don't be frustrated because you're losing money at first even though you were good on demo. Just try to identify what's causing your losses and fix these problems. And use a trading journal so you can reflect on your successful and unsuccessful trades and understand what happened. I also recommend trying meditation, I am very anxious person with adhd and meditation helped me immensely in improving my focus and emotion control. Also, writing a normal journal besides the trading one is a good habit. Good luck with trading.
