One last thing I guess I should mention here as well...
Having a good trading system and a set of rules to go by is definitely a key component. But by far the most important component is the psychological factor.
Mental preparation, resilience, patience, disregarding emotion...they're by far the most important part of trading. Without those, the best trading system in the world is pretty much useless.
