Professional traders are better prepared with the strategies they are going to implement whereas beginners are still fumbling whether he or she entered at the right time, or they could profit or not.
Professional has one advantage which is experience. They become professional by doing trade for a while. On the other hand, beginners do not have it which is a disadvantage for them. Beginners have to learn from their mistakes and their trades. I know that we all make mistakes, professionals make them as well. But they know what to do to recover their loss or to fix the problem. Most beginner traders get scared after making the mistakes.
There is a one strategy which can be followed by every traders no matter if they are professionals or not, which is to hold your position and wait patiently to see if you get back to the profit or not. But you should have backup funds for that.
You know for a beginner to turned into professional he must be active and go into knowledge, and the constants practices and regular trading makes someone to developed this professionalism in them whereas someone is not trading or that is having fear how do you think they would becomes professionals so easily without constant practices.
What I just understand is that we need to be determined on what we are doing otherwise it could be hard to carry out any action we have set out.
