As a trader, it's not good to rely solely on trading as your only source of income. Why? Depending solely on trading puts immense pressure on you to meet monthly bills. The consequence? You may find yourself taking unnecessary and low-quality trades.
However, when you have another or multiple other sources of income alongside trading, you can stay relaxed and have the mental comfort needed to make quality decisions. For example, you can be a trader and be a Bitcoin miner.
Do you have another trading psychology tip to share with me?
There are actually some factors that may limit some persons ability to rely on trading as one's means of earning on the crypto economy, and it not a bad ideas to rely on trading coins as a means of income or a career. One of the factors that limit some persons on making trading as the only means of earning is good capital.

For example, there are great difference between two traders that took a long positions with a capital of, $100 and $500 to to trade a coin on a long position of $1, and to close their positions when the price of the asset increases to $1.3,
Now, if you multiply both outcomes, the results will be like this, 1.3×100= $130, 1.3×500= 650. This is the take profit rates, $30 and $150 respectively.
As a matter of facts, if another trader has a bigger capital to trade the same coin, you may agreed with me that he may even close his position before the price increase to $1.3, and for fear of a dump, he may choose to close his position at $1.15, if he entered this trade with $1000 as his capital.
Others setbacks for effective trading are experiences, emotions,
