But your goal as a player is to reach the point where a great many things will have to go wrong for you to lose badly. They will have to go wrong in bunches, repeatedly, for an extended period of time.

It is also important to come to the table with the goal of mastering yourself, not just the game. For the most part, you already know the game. This mastering of yourself, however, is the work of a lifetime.
… Find a strategy that gets the job done…might not belt out 50% annualized returns with 10% drawdowns…but works for you…and more importantly fits you. Don’t worry about what anyone else is doing…just trade your strategy day in and day out. You’ll never get to a point where the profits are easy and you can just print money at will. Realize that. The best you can hope for is you’ll get to a place where you’ll know your system and what it can and can’t do…and you’ll follow it. Simple as that. Some days…you’ll look like an idiot…and other days a genius…and understand that’s what it’s all about. It took me all these years to figure that out. Crazy, isn’t it?
