You are not a true trader until the very things in trading that once caused you the most pain have been mastered, these same setups now provide you with large gains.
Somehow trading makes a trader humble, getting smacked around the ears is par for the course, hard to imagine a top trader being smug as the beatings are relentless. It's like a bee keepers job, being stung after a while feels natural.
Not a trader until..... Can resist temptation to place trades at inappropriate times. What I wish to describe is, traders enjoy trading. Right? Well like a kid in a candy shop, resist the urge if you can to partake of the candys dangling in front of your eyes. Unfortunately I am guilty of taking temptacious juicy looking trades when there is a fire about to rage at the back of the shop and I should just get the hell out.
