I’ve often advocated a number of different things on this blog relating to how you should approach your time in the markets. The reason, I’ve been through it all!<\/p>\n

I’ve posted a link on the forum to some stuff I read recently that I think will be of interest to readers of the blog.<\/p>\n

It’s talking about an ‘apprenticeship’, what does it take to get to establish yourself in a role and master it and I think it’s equally applicable to trading. I’ve noticed a sharp increase in the number of people who don’t want to serve an ‘apprenticeship’ and just want to jump straight to the ‘secrets’; probably encouraged by sites with the word ‘secret’ in their pitch.<\/p>\n

The fact is, even if you are given good instruction it still takes some time to work your way into something. I would love to play a round of Golf with Tiger woods, but I wouldn’t\u00a0expect to win a major after it. I know I would need to put a lot of work to even partially replicate what is required to be at the top of the game. Speaking of which, have a look on this thread<\/a> for somebody that is trying exactly that using some laid down ‘purposeful practice’ principles.<\/p>\n

I’m an avid reader of new knowledge and keen to improve all aspects of what I do, so I think there is some good stuff in there. The excerpts are from a book called ‘Mastery’. You can read excerpts from it on the forum: –<\/p>\n
