Just replace the word 'playing' with 'trading':
- How well you played overall
- Quality of your thinking
- Quality of decisions
- Number and size of mistakes
- Quality of focus ('the Zone')
- Length of time spent focused and playing well
- Length of the session
[the two above are probably not relevant to trading]
- Ability to manage emotions, focus and thinking
- Ability to work through a tough mental or emotional spot

1) Have a well thought out plan

2) Have the discipline to follow the plan!!

AND

2) Believing (correctly) in your edge. Personally, I think this is the big one.
