This might be a bad question, since so many on this board love to bite at what they feel are dumb questions.......... Do you feel you are a successful trader? REason I ask is because I would love to hear how many traders here feel they are good and how many are looking at this board as a learning tool......... Thanks
You do need to feel good about yourself,and you do need to believe in yourself,but only your account balance lets you know if your a good trader.
i use this board to augment my already existing trading skills. since no one i know IRL [in real life] knows anything about trading, i was glad i came across this board and found so many other people who have the same passion as me. i haven't really learned too much that i didn't already know here, but i have taken away a few good ideas. trading is so anonymous that one could go their whole trading career and no one would even know they existed. thus the subject of my post.
I'm a better trader today than last year. It's a continuous learning process as you tweak and refine your strategy.
