    Discipline is the first you should practice if you want to be a successful trader. All the successful traders on the planet are disciplined traders. They may have distinctive trading techniques however one thing is normal which is they are restrained. Taking in the market and being control is trading is the way to accomplishment here.

    yes till you learn what makes the market move

    if not you will be wiped out before you learn.

  4. My personal priorities for trading:
    1. Discipline to consistently follow your trade plan.
    2. Proper journaling of trades.
    3. Effective trading strategy.

    A simple combination. But definitely not easy to execute.

    2: Follow the plan
     
  6. Lol hahaahahah. I like you man.

    You make those two steps sound very easyyyyy.

    You should write an Ebook or Book on How to Develop an Effective and Profitable Trading Plan.

    I keep telling you man. If writing a trading plan was the key to making money we all be wealthy.

    Where did you get your trading plan from?

    Yes discipline is important, but having a trading system with clearly defined rules and money management parameters is even MORE important!

    It is impossible to maintain ANY kind of discipline unless you KNOW that your system is indeed profitable.

    I researched and read everything I could get my hands on.
    I studied the market.
    I watched what worked and what didn't
    I kept it simple. Something I could easily explain.
    My priority became to protect capital, limit risk and make money, in that order.
    I spent a lot of time trying to prove my system didn't work.

    I find randomly banging keyboard and mouse with my head has better results so sticking to that for the time being.
