Default Educated or un-educated Traders

Educated or un-educated traders. The choice is the individual traders.
Mark Douglas states:
The Five Fundamental Truths
  1. Anything can happen.
  2. You dont need to know what is going to happen next in order to make money.
  3. There is a random distribution between wins and losses for any given set of variables that define an edge.
  4. An edge is nothing more than an indication of a higher probability of one thing happening over another.
  5. Every moment in the market is unique.
and The Seven Principles of Consistency
  1. I objectively identify my edges.
  2. I predefine the risk of every trade.
  3. I completely accept the risk or I am willing to let go of the trade.
  4. I act on my edges without reservation or hesitation.
  5. I pay myself as the market makes money available to me.
  6. I continually monitor my susceptibility for making errors.
  7. I understand the absolute necessity of these principles of consistent success and, therefore, I never violate them.
"An Edge is nothing more than an an indication of a higher probability of one thing happening over another"

excellent post! i read a few excerpts from mark douglas' books.. definitely good stuff.
I especially love #2 in the first part. When I talk to my other buddies in the financial field.. theyre always asking me what the dollar will do next, or the yen.. etc etc. They have a hard time understanding that I have NO IDEA whats going to happen next, but I'll still make $ when the time comes
