In my opinion, this is the ultimate goal for all traders: Get to the point where you can make confident decisions on your own and trade with complete independence. While I tremendously respect the opinion of my colleagues, I DO NOT rely on them. I can turn off Blue Channels, and all communication to the outside world…and still be fine with making my own decisions and letting THE MARKET tell me if I’m right or wrong. I apologize if this sounds cocky, but it’s simply the truth.

How do you get to this point? Make decisions and learn from them! I openly admit that I have made TONS of mistakes in the market, and I still make mistakes EVERY DAY. The key is I’ve learned from them and now try my best to minimize those mistakes. As Tony Robbins says: “Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.” The key is to MAKE a decision without worrying that you might be wrong. As long as you learn from it, you can correct it the next time. Again, just make the decision! Who knows, it might end up being a good one
