When you are confident in the forward tested results performing as expecting in typical market conditions. There is 1/2 of 1/2 of systems implementation that we have control over and 1/2 that we have no control over. Focus on the 1/2 that you have control over; mainly these are entry, position...

You can reduce your learning curve significantly by implementing systems in trading. Preferably semi or fully automated systems where you know or control how the system enters and exit the markets. Focus less on time as an abstract concept (zero control), and instead focus the majority of your...

Just more distractions. None of those really matter. The primary performance evaluation is seeing if you get a net account increase over many repetitions or tradecycles. Then repeat these tradecycles as much as possible.
