Making money is actually very simple; the complex part is yourself.
When you can choose to remain on the sidelines, even missing opportunities, rather than chasing signals that do not align with your trading system, you will find that the essence of trading is surprisingly pure.
Top traders do not possess more secrets of the market, nor do they have the ability to foresee the future. The real difference between them and you is that they can always maintain clarity and restraint in the face of market temptations. This self-taming of trading impulses is the core principle of survival in the market.
The path of trading is inherently simple and straightforward, so simple that every novice knows it as they take their first steps. However, most people find it difficult to grasp the profound wisdom contained in this 'simplicity' before experiencing the trials of the market, and they are even less willing to believe that success actually begins with restraint of desire.
