The best traders I know aren't the smartest people in the room. They're the most disciplined. They have a process they follow religiously, they journal every single trade and they review what went wrong before they ever look at what went right.

The difference between someone who makes money for a month and someone who's been profitable for years is brutally simple: one has a system, the other has opinions. Opinions change with the market. Systems don't. If you don't have a repeatable decision-making process by now, it's simple... you're just gambling.
