"The goal of a successful trader is to make the best trades. Money is secondary."

Dr. Alexander Elder

Why It Matters:

Most people treat the market like a vending machine—insert trade, expect payout. But the pros? They're process junkies. They know that chasing dollars leads to bad trades, but chasing good trades eventually leads to dollars. Ironically, the less you obsess over profits, the more likely they are to show up. Focus on the execution, and let the scoreboard take care of itself.
