The secrets to effective & consistent profitability:
1) Adhere to a simple model.
2) Know what you want to make and it feeds you, leave something on just in case you were wrong about how much more.
3) Don't ask others for opinions, analysis or tips.
4) Manage Risk impeccably - ALWAYS.
5) Don't chase new things after you found your model.
6) Allow others to hold opinions - even if they are diametrically opposed to yours.
7) Unless you run a signal service, keep your opinions to yourself.
8) Make your bread, eat and go live for the day and find ways to bless others with it.
Anything else is BS.
