So true. Tony Robbins also said “Success for anything is 80% of psychology and 20% of mechanics”. A trading system is mechanics of trading. If a trader has an absolutely winning trading system, but he/she has failed to execute it. This system is failure. For who can follow it consistently, it is a great system. So who is more important? It is the trader or the system?
Some people say it is hard to design a winning system. Or I don’t know how to do? Does it really true? Read what Richard Dennis said.
The key is consistency and discipline. Almost anybody can make up a list of rules that are 80% as good as what we taught. What they can’t do is give (people) the confidence to stick to those rules even when things are going bad.
Richard Dennis has also proved that trading is a skill not talent. Tony Robbins also said “Every skill is learnable”
