3.
Be consistent: Execute your plan consistently to achieve the
positive expectation of your system.
4.
Keep it simple: Simple systems hold up better over time than do
more complex ones.
Remember that a plan means nothing if it is not acted on. If you
really want to be a successful trader, commit yourself to the first
step. I did, and I’ve never regretted it.

epilogue
WHEN ALL IS 
SAID AND DONE
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference. 
—Robert Frost
I
spent a great deal of time over the last few months focusing on
the first part of this book because I wanted it be an apt intro-
duction to the epilogue. It was this last chapter that I was most
enthusiastic about completing. 
Once you have lived the life of a trader—lived as a Turtle—the
trader’s philosophy permeates the rest of your experience. As you
work through and see your way around cognitive biases and make
adjustments for them in your thinking as it relates to the markets,
you start to do the same thing in other areas of your life. One of
the ways in which good traders differ from those who are less suc-
cessful is that they are not afraid to be different, to do something
unlike what everyone else is doing, to take their own path.
