• Checklists
• Finding a smooth equity curve
• Repeated performance vs. deliberate practice
• The role of fitness and health in trading
• The moment of now
• Systems trading vs. discretionary trader
• Relationship between volatility and volume

“The fantasy of easy riches collides with the reality of what you need to do to prepare to win and I think that creates quite a dissidence for many beginning traders and ultimately leads them to leave the field.” – Brett Steenbarger
