Becky:

I'm wondering if experienced daytraders (those who survive and make a living, or retain trading capital) could address the two or three most important lessons they've learned in developing their skills?

I am certain that there are numerous new ideas and answers that have yet to be discussed regarding your question. As Vadym pointed out, you might also check out the thread summary at #subject-28776, in case you haven't already seen it. Hopefully, others will add more good information to what has already been posted.

Quoting from the last thread summary post, you might want to check out some of the following posts:
