Success leaves Clues and after having learnt from the best and also what every Market Wizard shares about their trading journey, here’s a compilation worth framing :

• Discipline : a Daily routine 
• Patience : to avoid over-trading and sit on the lines during tough times
• Rules based systems : for mistake free trading
• Deep Journaling : to identify mistakes
• Increased Awareness : for bias free trading
• A Business mindset : because trading is a business
• High Emotional Quotient : to remove the excitement
• The 1% mindset : to do what the 99% don’t 
• A Positive Money Relationship : because money is energy, a powerful ally

The journey of a trader is such that everyone going through it to reach the apex, change as an individual. You’re not the same person anymore.
