    I'm an artistic trader...


    This means...my trading strength is the ability to be open minded, adaptable and flexible .
    Hope they are right:)

    My weak point - finding and fixing mistakes are not preferred behaviors.

    Mother says the same:-( Can't but agree.

  3. After a few fun runs of this thing, I'm pretty sure that all the responses are random, not based on answers. Nothing too negative, pretty vague, etc. LOL...

  4. I'm not so sure it's random. I just took the test three times in a row and answered with the first answer to each question. I was an administrative trader all three times.

  6. You are an Administrative Trader!

    People who fit into this category have several of the qualities that make a good trader. You tend to be practical and realistic, and decisive. You move quickly to implement decisions and these are all good for trading. You love facts and what you think is concrete. You are very good at making sure that things run smoothly. As a result, you tend to be good at organizing projects and people to get things done the most efficient way possible...

    One of your Trading Strengths

    You should have no problems staying with and executing a simple trading system that someone gives you and you feel confident about.

    One of your Trading Challenges

    You love the details of trading system analysis and development so much but you can often be working on the wrong things. Your efforts can be misguided if you are following the wrong guidelines or advice.

  7. I am an Independent Trader!

    "If the markets interest you, you'll probably work to develop a logical explanation for how they work. This is because you love theoretical ideas and abstract concepts (in fact, much more so than people interactions). This can be great for trading success, if you don't get too theoretical. This type of trader profile suggests that you value knowledge above all else. As a result, you'll be constantly generating new ideas about the market or trying to disprove the ideas that you learn from others...

    One of your Trading Strengths

    You can quickly determine if a new style of trading or system will fit well with your personality.

    One of your Trading Challenges

    Your trading could dominate your time and you could become socially isolated, which in turn could upset others, particularly if you have a spouse."


    This is so true! Today, I was commuting back home with my co-worker. During the whole time, I was re-reading The Market Wizard instead of interacting with him.

    Here is what I got:


    "You are a Spontaneous Trader!

    You are probably enthusiastic, warm and quite imaginative. You see life as being full of possibilities. In addition, you are able to quickly make connections between events and the information to which you are exposed and then make quick decisions. This quality can be good as a trader, but you also need to be very careful because you only have one of the three qualities that we find in the best traders...

    One of your Trading Strengths

    Enthusiasm and a willingness to take action; you probably don’t have a problem with pulling the trigger or trying new trading systems.

    One of your Trading Challenges

    Discipline, follow thru and attention to detail will always be challenges, and you need to find ways to achieve these that are automatic, scheduled and regular"

    Not a large variety of results!
