    OK, now I am convinced you don't know what you are talking about. Look, those symptoms you mentioned with people with ADD manifest themselves when they are engaging in activities in which they are NOT interested in. This is why kids with ADD tend to do poorly in school because they are usually doing things they are bored with and hence perform poorly. However, when those same kids actually do an activity they enjoy, all the symptoms you mentioned above go away.

    Same is true with traders. Traders with ADD exhibit none of those symptoms when trading. But outside of trading, they tend to have some or all of those issues. There is ample evidence to support this.

  8. ....and so often the key to becoming a losing trader as well. :cool:

    There's a fine line between addiction and obsession. To succeed at trading one has to be at least nearly if not completely obsessed, just like an obsession is required to become a professional athlete. Does the obsession necessarily have to rise to the level of addiction? I don't believe so.

    Interesting topic though.
