Psychology is not a key success factor in trading.

Discipline is. Be a machine, not a human being.

Your psychology is changing all the time. It shouldn't impact your trading.

You have to become less human to protect your conscious mind from your psychology.

When I trade futures pairs, I don't care about the direction of the market.

I care about the relative strength of my long leg vs my short leg.

I care about the ratio spread.

I care about fundamentals AND relative price action.

Good trading is not complex.

Good trading is simple trading, done the right way.

At the beginning of his journey, the newbie trader is unconscious of his incompetence.

Loss after loss, he becomes conscious of his incompetence.

Most people have no clue the stockmarket can litteraly save lives.

I remember 10 years ago, I met the CEO of a listed small cap real estate specialty company at an and investors meeting.

During the meeting, he said the Great Financial Crisis had been the hardest time he had ever had managing his company. The banking system was broken, access to debt was impossible.

In the real estate industry, that means you can't run your company anymore. It is stuck, if still alive.

He added that at the time, his only option was to resort to the market for new bonds and/or a capital raise.

Then he looked at me in the eyes, and told me, in front of the 15 other fund managers and analysts who were there : "thank you, without your money, my company would probably be dead by now".

I was not the only fund manager who took part in the financing round that was set up in the crisis, of course. I just answered : "my investors thank you for doing such a great job. It ended being a win/win situation. That's what markets are for".

He smiled, and continued his speech.
