Make it your own

Trading is often compared to professional sports. This not only due to the competitive element. To produce outstanding performance different methodologies are required to reach elevated performance levels. Successful market participation is not achievable through a cookie cutter school program. It is highly individual in nature since personal psychology is such an essential ingredient for consistent results. Dissatisfied with actual application of classical Kung Fu teachings the bullied Bruce Lee created a four step principle based system for himself. He transformed classical school training into outstanding performance. Make it your own!

The four pillars of his training were:

  • Research your own experience
  • Absorb what is useful
  • Reject what is useless
  • Add what is specifically your own

One should literally do the exact same thing in ones trading and investing educational approach.
