Focus On Your Trading Edge
- Focus on finding or developing a trading strategy with an edge and only trade when your plan's conditions are met.
- Avoid overcomplicating things with unrelated technicals or fundamentals when they don't fit your strategy.
Trading Like Football Roles
- Trading is like playing football where each player only needs to know their specific role in the overall play.
- Don't get overwhelmed by trying to understand every aspect; focus only on your part of the strategy.
Avoid Information Overload
- Avoid trying to learn everything at once and only focus on the content relevant to your current skill level.
- Too much information too soon is like drinking from a fire hydrant, making learning ineffective and overwhelming.
