    They are plenty of people with the balls. They can learn the art of trading all right.
    Consider your example of dentistry as a profession:
    If I know I don't have what it takes to become a dentist that does not mean that no other people can be taught dentistry.

    Thats exactly what many trend systems do. The point being that your win/loss% is also relevant to your system/style of trading.

    Same logic goes that just because you have 80% winners doesn't mean you will make money.

    Just making a point about the relative nature of examine such things and keeping them in the proper context. i have no desire to argue over what % of winners one needs to be successful.

    There are no textbooks for the pocket pickers but still there are other ways to pass the trade secrets to a novice.
