"Traders are independent thinkers. They’re loners, they’re the lone wolfs out there. They do their own research, they eat their own cooking. They don’t have to rely on anybody else for anything. They don’t take their losses personally. They learn from them. They understand that there’s randomness. They understand that there’s good luck and bad luck, good timing and bad timing. And there’s self-sufficient."

"Context is King" - In bull markets we can only be long or neutral, and in bear markets we can only be short or neutral. That may seem self-evident; it is not, and it is a lesson learned too late by far too many.

I'd suggest you make self-to-self comparison to measure progress.
