Based on my own experience as well as working with hundreds of traders over the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that there are three major components to making money consistently in the markets. They are:

1) A solid, back-tested Methodology that the trader has confidence will provide an Edge

2) A customized trading Plan that is objective and in alignment with the Edge and the trader FOLLOWS that Plan

3) An Positive, Realistic, and Fearless Mental Approach
