Money discipline – Not only do you need to be disciplined with your trading plan and trading strategy, you MUST be disciplined when it comes to money management and this means discipline in both risk and reward. Trading journal – Along with your trading plan, you need a trading journal in which you log your trades and the details of them. Trade and think less about your trades and you will end up making more money in the long-run, this is a core tenet of my trading philosophy.
