To some extent you are likely correct. Just knowing how I traded when I did have a larger account, I felt more productive. Granted, I like trading, but I am also trading to make money...when I make 400 pips for the week and only have $50 to show for it, I feel like I haven't accomplished much.
A lot of times with this small account, I am trying to force things to happen and making trades I wouldn't normally make, which is counterproductive to my learning as well.
Mama and Daddy always said it's how you play the game - trade to trade well and the rest will fall into place ;-)
