I would say I'm at step 32. - 35. in that I have a methodology which puts me on the right side of the market more often than not, but the ultimate goal is to master the market and master myself and I have a way to go before I'm there. I'm very confident in my skills and methodology and I know I can make money fairly consistently if I'm cautious and apply myself correctly with proper preparation. As this usually leads to successful trading, complacency still creeps in from time to time which leads to getting lazy on the preparation, greedy and generally just too trigger happy. I don't think the list was as bad as many suggested. I'm sure many can recognize themselves in it as learning to trade for the lonely retail trader is a process of trial and error taking everyone far longer than they first anticipated.
