“I'm a consistent winner because:

• I objectively identify my edges.
• I predefine the risk of every trade.
• I completely accept the risk, or I'm willing to let go of the trade.
• I act on my edges without reservation or hesitation.
• I pay myself as the market makes money available to me.
• I continually monitor my susceptibility for making errors.
• I understand the absolute necessity of these principles of consistent success and, therefore, I never violate them.
