1. Walter Bressert mostly. 2. Walter's workbook on Cycle trading, it's out there in pdf format don't think he ever published 3. I think after years of getting caught up in the swings and emotions of a market that I realized that I was not following my analysis and views, while allowing the market to dictate how I respond. I wanted to reverse that, and it coincided with a personal journey towards understating one’s self through stoicism, and how the teachings adapt to all aspects of life. Ultimately, I think most of life’s success comes through inner reflection and understanding, with a radical approach of being honest with yourself. Yes I meditate daily for self reflection and to understand the mind. 4. Trading in the Zone. Reminiscences of a Stock Trader, Meditations. 5. The only tip is to ask, are you trading for the thrill (most) or are you trading for financial independence. Once you accept you are a gambler, you can truly break free from the deliberating losses most suffer and begin implanting practices that respects your hard-earned capital and sets you down a path of building wealth, in a sustainable manner. 6. I wish I was better disciplined here. I’m not bad, I do focus on health/diet, have done all the reading. 7. Acceptance of what is and appreciation of what you have is what allows you to then accept only what takes you to a higher level. 8. Enough was enough a while ago, what I do I thoroughly enjoy. If I found something I would enjoy more I would do it. Obviously financially there is a certain level that equates to more convenience and less stress, but that threshold is so much lower than most think, if they can accept.
