A common characteristic of successful traders is that they have found a strategy that works for them. This strategy enables them to trade with a high probability of success. They use this strategy methodically over and over with each trade. Trading is routine and almost mechanical to them. If a trade fits their criteria, they take it, if not – they walk away.
A pervasive characteristic of unsuccessful and inconsistent traders is they lack rules, discipline and a clear trading method. Frequently they jump about mixing and matching different techniques and or chasing lagging indicators in search of a mythical trading holy grail.
Successful traders are patient, disciplined and focused.
