These are the traits that are said to make a person a Super Trader!
They are not in any particular order of importance but I did collate them into alphabetical order. It now seems the order they are in makes good sense.
As you look at these traits of a Super Trader, you too could observe yourself against the list and thus work on removing your trading weaknesses (should you have any) in order to turn them into trading strengths.
Does that sound good to you?
Since writing out this list and trading myself, I can see that without Super Trader Trait #1, my trading account would not last very long due to the previous bad habit of holding onto losses for too long, in the hopes it will some-day and one-day turn around.
Have you ever done that?
What I will be doing over the course of time is breaking down and discussing all of these Super Trader Traits in relation to my own personal findings, feelings and experiences as I continue to journey into the world - of being - not just a trader - but a Super-Trader!
