When I first started my trading journey I was like a lot of newbies. I was looking for the “holy grail” of trading strategies – a formula that could be applied to the markets, which would allow me to make money consistently and in abundance.
But over time my attitude toward trading began changing. I’m not sure if it was because of my many failed attempts at achieving trading perfection, the string of ‘blown up’ accounts that plagued me, or the downright frustration that comes from trying to ‘solve’ the markets in the same way we solved mathematical equations at school.
As I started learning from different mentors and ‘gurus’, and reading books such as Trading Wizards I began noticing that there are in fact many ways to be successful in the markets. Obviously it was important to find a statistically profitable trading strategy, but equally as important was finding a strategy that worked for me. For my unique personality, circumstances, skill-sets, ambitions and interests.
