Dr Pangloss,

Personally I think the selection process is the most important. I would rank Psychology 2nd and Staking 3rd. My reasoning is that no amount of Psychology or Staking can turn a losing system into a winning one (although either one can turn a winning system into a losing one) so the selection process has to be right to start with. If you do have a winning system then Psychology does become quite important - I know I have missed out on quite a few good wins in the past due to being too cautious.

Maybe you should start another thread with your thoughts on the matter - I will be happy to contribute to it (and I am sure others will too). I just don't want to divert this thread from the main subject matter.
