The One Secret to Becoming a Successful Trader: The one secret to becoming a successful trader is…….. ……a myth.

Period. – by admin – Tags: traders development – http://www.thetradingframework.com/the-best-set-ups-and-settings-really/

The Complicated Life of Lazy Boys: The modern man has a major branding crisis. Most sum him up in one word: lazy.

Can you win at anything if you practise hard enough?: If you had enough practice, advice and expert training, could you become a success at anything?

Best Practices in Trading: Using Biofeedback to Manage Trading Stress: Daniel also mentions that considerable research supports the use of heart rate variability feedback in controlling stress and enhancing well-being.

Chasing success: I talk to numerous people through email every week who are struggling to be successful at trading. And, I find two common traits in most of them: 1.)

They have a lack of focus. – by Trader-X – Tags: traders development – http://traderx.blogspot.com.au/2006/09/chasing-success_16.html
