How you trade, what you trade, and the frequency of the trades you make all come down to who you are as a person, not what you know about a specific financial instrument. That's the gaping hole in the training of traders. If you take away anything from this book, make it these points:

1. Trading profitably is about mathematical expectation.

2. Knowing yourself is more important than what you know.

Business school doesn't address either of these. Who you are, not what you know, determines how well you do.
