Your first job as a trader is to create a trading plan with an edge. Your second job is to follow that plan. Sounds simple right? 

 

In essence, it is that simple – but to create a trading plan with the edge, you firstly need to acquire knowledge and a skill-set that will enable you to form this plan. To follow the plan, you will need to learn how to build the skills necessary to develop the discipline it takes to stick to it, even when it goes against your instincts. 

 

Building these skills is the hard part; once you have them, it becomes as simple as the statement suggests.
