Have you ever noticed that awareness is the first step toward future growth? If you
want to improve in any area, read on below to understand the four stages of
awareness as they relate to good trading.

The learning curve in any endeavor involves four stages:

Unconscious incompetence (where the trader has no idea how much he doesn’t
know about trading)
Conscious incompetence (where the traders realizes after initial losses that he has a
lot to learn)
Conscious competence (where the trader has developed and is now doing well as
long as he works his system and its rules)
Unconscious competence (where the trader has mastered the rules and also knows
when to break the rules as conditions change, in a complete flow with the markets
based on great experience)
