Everybody have access to the same data's: same charts, same quotes, same proven trading methods, etc. but only a few traders make consistent profits over time.

Acquiring the knowledge of the market in not difficult for anyone with average intelligence but it is neither the level of intelligence nor the knowledge that decides the outcome of the market operations of a trader. It is the decision making process that is so hard for most traders to overcome and that is the main reason for a success or a failure for all the traders. Some find it easy to make decisions and stick to it and most find it so hard to make decisions and stick to it.

Honestly, how many traders can say they can compromise their wealth when the trade is suggested by their own system and let the profit run for weeks and months when their system tells them, and how many can manage to cut the loss as a routine process when the situation arise. It all sounds so easy when saying it but when your money is on the line, it's difficult to remain calm, rational, and in complete control. What happens if you lose? How will you recover? It's natural to become consumed with self-doubt and abandon your trading plan, or act irrationally. But winning traders control their impulses. They execute a trading strategy effortlessly and flawlessly, even under the most adverse market conditions. Successful traders have discipline, confidence, patience and persistence. If you don't have this characteristics work to build it up.
