this test seems pretty damn accurate "You probably live in a world of ideas and strategic planning. This is because you value intelligence, knowledge, and being competent. These are great qualities for a trader/investor. In fact, you have the three core qualities that are essential to being a great trader (i.e. you have the ability to see the big picture, new possibilities and connections between things. You make decisions based on logic and analysis and you are decisive, orderly and do things sequentially). You have an original mind and a great drive to implement your ideas and achieve your goals." One of my life challenges "Probably so logical that you don't recognize when emotions are causing you to self-destruct." even though this sentence is a bit of a conundrum it rings true
You are a Bad Trader! The Bad Trader type suggests that you are very gullible and stupid. You tend to earn your failure by being capricious, mercurial, idiotic, disorganized, and dumb. You are also unrealistic and irresponsible. You have none of the three qualities that are necessary for trading success. Thus, if you are willing to commit yourself, you'll probably be quite unsuccessful as a trader. One of your Trading Strengths You provide liquidity for the market and traders who know what they are doing. You are an integral part of the system and trading wouldn't be trading without the money that you provide. One of your Trading Challenges Everything Your trader archetypes: Brian Hunter, Timothy Sykes, stock_trad3r, HedgeFundTrader2, day7793
you guys . . . . . I give you a new toy and what's the first thing you do â see how long it takes to break it !!! "Probably so logical that you don't recognize when emotions are causing you to self-destruct." relates to the psycho/sociopath, see movie 'The Boston Strangler' -- when the strangler comes to the realization he's murdered women "It is estimated that approximately 1% of the general population are psychopaths. They are overrepresented in the prison system, at the top ranks of corporations, in politics law enforcement agencies, law firms, and the media." - does media include forums ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy psychopath sociopath: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=psychopath+sociopath&meta= " " financial trader: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=psychopath+sociopath+financial+trader&meta= "Psychopaths could be best financial traders ?" http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-09/21/content_479731.htm
"It is estimated that approximately 1% of the general population are psychopaths." With that being said. 99% of the psychopaths give the rest of us a bad name.
I'm an innovative trader. Correct and truthful informations are essential and mandatory for me in order to gain any successes. I find that to be in conjunction with my personal approach to trading. But correct and truthful information are indeed essential for anyone in order to gain any successes at all. Nobody can expect any success with decisions made on false ground or inadequate basis.
