Anyone looking to build a career trading the markets should work to inculcate the ability to enter, at will, into a state of "ZERO MENTAL CHATTER".
Only then will you be able to open yourself up & learn directly from the greatest mentor in the field -- "THE MARKET" itself.

The first step to building this ability is to realize that we do indeed live a life of constant background mental buzz & cross-talk that keeps us from actually being fully present with what is happening in the current moment.
Just observe carefully and you'll see for yourself.

If you're looking for a more practical realization, just google "raisin mindfulness" & you should see tons of articles on the experiment.
Follow the simple steps & you ll see how hard is it to calm down your urges, wants & the constant backdrop of mental voices.

Once you start making progress in being able to settle down into a relatively noiseless mental state, only then will the trades start coming to you, instead of you going out desperately trying to find them (and ending up mostly getting your head stuck in the wrong places).
This obviously is by no means some kind of an alternate path to success in the markets. You'll still have to do whatever it is that you're doing to get to the state of consistent profitability.
Being relatively noise-free will just act like a great additional aid to that.
