Iam tracking Indian Stock Market and Global Market since 1992.Yes after 17 years ..I had seen these are two real facts of Trading.

#1: Small-range market periods lead to large-range market periods. Low volatility breeds high volatility, which in turn leads to low volatility.
Just about the time everyone is resigned that market conditions will never change is exactly when conditions will change.
#2: Trading is a business where you can never be right. Never. No matter what we do, our mistakes will always outnumber our correct decisions. That’s why grading ourselves on every minute` decision will come up with more of a batting average score than college test score.
Mistakes can always outnumber correct actions… so long as correct actions outweigh mistakes. It ain’t the size of our right or wrong actions that counts: it’s how much they weigh in $$ values. Size does matter.
The great news is, as traders we never have to be perfect. We don’t even have to be 50% perfect. We only need to maximize our wins and minimize our losses. And we only need to win once per day, more days than not to be good. Just barely profitable = the top ten percentile of our profession. Anything beyond that is outperforming 90% of the field.

The beginning of real success as a trader starts with knowing yourself.

One common trait amongst nearly all successful traders is that they have a very high understanding of who they are and how they operate. As an example, leading traders realise that they are not in control of the market; they tend to view the market almost as a force of nature without a personality, and with no agendas, the only thing they can do is control their own actions, activities and emotions. In other words they understand the way they work, what drives them and their performance, how their mind operates, and their emotions. Not necessarily on a conscious level, but nonetheless they have an understanding of how it all works.  
 
As an analogy considers a competitive yachtsman, he has to take account of the conditions of the sea and the winds; however, it is his own actions and decisions that will deem how successful he is. He can not blame the sea or the wind for failure, he has to put all his efforts in to his sailing, making correct decisions and performing the correct actions. (more…)
