1.   They have a trading method or system
2.   They have a set of rules for when to get in and out of the market.
3.   They have discipline to follow through with these rules
Trading is about making money, not about being correct in market analysis. If you are trading for
any other reason than making money your trading career will be a short one.
1.   A trader must be consistent in their approach
2.   A trader must strive to completely remove emotions from their trading.
3.   A trader must have and stick to a trading plan on every trade.
4.   A trader must trade in the present not in the past.
5.   A trader must let the market tell you what it is going to do and be willing to follow the
signals.
Successful traders use the same logic in finding trades as the novice uses. They gather
information, analyze the information then make a decision about how to place a trade based on
that information. The successful traders will use their normal trading rules or scale them back
because the trade is too risky for them.
Successful traders are not that much different than the novice traders. They have just developed
the skills mentioned above and follow them. All these skills are learnable so stick with it and
treat trading as a serious business not just a passing hobby and someday you to can do what the
successful traders do with ease and skill.
