how much money I have to lose to get this simple idea that to be consistently successful I have to act right :

1. discipline -- to wait for the right moment and for the opportunity to reveal

2. discipline -- to use leverage only when in profit and when the edge is in my favor!!!

3. discipline -- to develop scanerio and risk level and respect the RISK levels and initial strategy!!!

4. disicipline -- to use leverage only to the level I can manage the drawdown and to be able to come back if I am wrong or late to bail out...

5. DISCIPLINE -- to make the hard choise of being with the trend - buy high - sell higher if in trend mode!!!

6. TREND - to start trading first define the market mode :: Trend or Range ?
