what the hell is a market wizard? Is it some new catch phrase? Theres only one goal for traders: Be the best mfing trader around who takes in $100k+ a month. Mindset of the mfing trader: 1) I am the best. 2) I can do whatever I set my mind out to do 3) Rejection and failure means nothing to me, I am the macktruck who can't be stopped. 4) A Lesson a day is the million dollar way. 5) Find ways to seperate myself from the dumb masses 6) Whatever you can do , I can do better. ClowNS!
=============== Dvshucks; No, dont want to wake up @ nite every 2 hours to ''trade around the clock'' No dont want to trade billions; millions, yes. And life is like a target shoot; AIM HIGH, because of gravity.
Good call on people getting to that level because they loved what they were doing and not just to imitate those before them. If you're going to get there it's going to be by worrying about what you're doing and not what others are doing or have done. Yet, I'm surprised no one here thinks they're going to be the next big thing to hit Wall Street. I guess the braclets will have to be put on hold.
I've only ever noticed the general 'trading for a living' rationale at ET. From a problem-solving point of view, the aim is to take what the market can offer whereas 'trading for a living' is a continuum. Horses for courses, though. I enjoy trading but not to trade for a living. I trade to take from the market .. not for a lifetime continuum. Bottom line: horses for courses.
I disagree here. I believe this to be more of the truth: 7. Life is NOW, not in the past or future. The past is gone and future is created in the NOW.... therefore, live in it.
