    Those of us who trade the Markets day in and day out understand what he’s talking about. If you decide to learn about the markets and learn how to trade them it will be the hardest thing you will do in life... you are your own worst enemy! But once that lightbulb goes off... your life will never be the same. The freedom it will give you is well worth the sleepless nights looking at charts and checking futures... the erratic emotions are unlike any other. I will never keep a normal 9to5. It’s not the PnL that drives me... it’s being a better trader and honing my craft!

    This man speaks of the forgotten indicator which is the most powerful tool any trader will find: THE MIND. Trading is entirely based on the never ending goal for attaining self mastery. The individuals thought and lifestyle process is a simple reflection on its 2nd party which happens to be ur p/l (a statistical way to judge past/present outcome). The overall message to take home is to quiet the mind in order to ensure a higher probability in maximizing edge and finding readiness within yourself...best of luck to all traders going into 2018.
