I believe all winners, mentors, vendors and brokers targeting my money would tell me great traders are made.
I think its not the one or the other, its BOTH: Great traders are born with talent - AND - They learn to be successful What about that ?
=================== Exactly ; Like the youngster asked ''any great men born in this town?????. No the old timer said ; only babies
I believe traders are born. Some people have the natural capacity to sit tight when everyone else is frantic, to buy when everyone else is selling, and to sell when everyone else is buying. A great trader does all of these things. However, without unrelenting persistence and determination, the talent goes wasted....that's how i see it...
I'm first born. Looks like my sisters have no chance in this game since they were born after me....they'll be heart broken
Probably Neither, some great traders were just luckly. http://time-proxy.yaga.com/time/archive/printout/0,23657,747199,00.html
I have said from the begining the best way to be a good trader is to find a good mentor . Over the past 3 years of trading never met anyone who made a living from trading . But most successful traders make alot of cash and dont need the hassle of teaching some one. So that leaves people like peter bain. mti and others that show a chart at the end of the day and says it so obvious why that happened. Still searching for my mentor.
Have you tried the following yet?: 1. Start a new thread about "How to find a good mentor?". 2. Find first a "finding mentor" who knows how to find a "trading mentor" who knows how to trade.
