I’m self-confident, which gives me a lot of psychological strength in trusting the systems we develop. In terms of weaknesses, 1 guess I’m always trying to get R lot done-perhaps too much. Sometimes that can distract mefrom my primary mission as a trader. How about your strengths and weaknesses in terms of personal discipline?

Financial freedom is about taking ownership of your finances. You have a dependable cashflow that allows you to live the life you want. You aren’t worrying about how you’ll pay your bills or sudden expenses. And you aren’t burdened with a pile of debt. We typically trade our beliefs about the market and once we’ve made up our minds about those beliefs, we’re not likely to change them. And when we play the markets, we assume that we are considering all of the available information. Instead, our beliefs, through selective perception, may have eliminated the most useful information. This book is a comprehensive guide to the world of trading and is one of the most valuable resources I’ve ever read. Van Tharp covers everything from the basics of trading to advanced concepts, and he does it in an easy way to understand and apply.

What if you don’t make enough to live off? Can you make more than you need to live off so that your trading capital can grow? Can you stand regular withdrawals from your trading capital to pay your monthly bills?
