There are many common themes and threads among the world's most successful traders.
The self-discipline and self-awareness to conquer the markets and themselves, the self-confidence and openness to take risk, the humility to accept losses and know when they are wrong, and the endurance to take the pain of not only losing money, but also failing to make a correct call - repeatedly.
But one of the most under-appreciated and talked about aspects of the most successful traders in the world is the fact that they treat their trading like a business.

But I disagree with that attitude completely. In today's episode I explain why.
