Here's a surprisingly good and lucid article on yahoo finance ... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/4-Skills-Every-Trader-Should-tm-14753540.html
As a very active day trader, I identified with a lot of the author's thoughts, particularly the section about "Patience and Discipline". This week, I had a very frustrating Weds morning with a large draw down, struggling all day to get back to just ahead of break even. That set up a huge Thursday. Weds was a technical success but it sure didn't feel that way. Thanks for sharing that article.
